Default First Day, First Mods

Well i just picked up my wrangler yesterday and i have already started adding some things. I also removed all those huge yellow warning stickers on the inside. Next i need to tackle the tail gate mod with the shock and brackets i bought and put the grab handles in, from the write up, in the back. Im concidering removing the sahara decals and replacing them with the project jk stickers i have. Anyways im loving it, heres some pictures, notice for the gas door instead of using the supplied chrome screws i used the black screws i got from John L :

Congratulations! I am sure you will enjoy it. BTW- I like the look of the black screws on the gas cover. I personally hate the chrome look and am trying to strictly go with all black accessories on my Rescue Green 4 door.

Is that gas cap mod really a 5 minute deal like it says in the catalog?

I think if you take your time it's about a 15/20 min job.

Would that fit over the locking gas cap? Could you get the cap out to fill up?

i bought the locking gas cap a couple days ago, it should be here sometime this week. When i get it ill let you all know. It better fit lol...

And it takes about 10 - 15 mins just because i took my time not wanting to scratch the paint. But if i did it again it would only take 5-10. All it is is a couple clips that you pop and then it slides out. All you do is unscrew the tail light which is only 4 screws to get to it, no biggy. The hardest part was getting the last clip to pop back in when i installed the door.

If you bought a locking gas cap, do you still have the original? We have the locking gas cap, and hate it. Would love to have one without the lock.

It's the wife's JK, and she can't stand the thing. Wants a "normal" one.

Put the ignition key in, turn to the right, the turn the whole thing (with key) to the left. Don't care for the design, and we're out in the friggin boonies.
