i noticed that mopar has different part numbers for the fuel door for a 2-door jk & a 4-door.

did jeep really go to the trouble of building different fuel doors? and if so, what's the difference?

i can get a good deal on a fuel door, but it's for a 2-door and i have a 4-door.

 

Weird... I don't see why there would be a difference.

 

jimbo76 installed a 4dr vesion on his 2dr (wilbur)...he didn't notice anything different

 

i think i'll just buy it and if it doesn't fit, i'll sell it.

 

I sould be gettin my fuel door soon but does any one know how it goes on?

 

There's a nice write up on it. Just do a quick search.

It's pretty straight forward, but getting the old one off can be difficult if you have large hands. There are some tips in the thread.

 

It comes with instructions and there is a write-up in the write-ups section.

 

i asked someone selling the fuel door on ebay if there is a difference and this was his reply:

YES THERE IS, ALOT OF THEM ON EBAY ARE LISTED AS FITTING BOTH. THE SHROUD ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DOOR IS CLOCKED IN A DIFFERENT POSITION FOR MOUNTING.

does this make sense? i think if the 4-door fits on wilbur, the 2-door version should fit on mine. i'm thinking worst case, i have to drill a couple holes.

 

There's an alignment pin for the covers and they are different between the 2 JK's. One is at 12:00 and the other is at 9:00. The alignment pin is part of the plastic back and bends. I guess you could cut it off. With 3 screws being the mount and 3 screws fake I don't think it would matter. I bought one of each for ours.
