Interior Opening Gas Cap Cover

[THAW]

You guys do realize the silliness you are going through to lock your fuel door when the chances of said fuel door being opened for nefarious reasons is approximately .00001% ?

They know, they dont care.

Holy $hit, I won't even read this. Too much. Still love you though I just think you guys are nuts.

Please don't lump me in with those who believe adding a locking fuel door is worthwhile; I argued vigorously against their value earlier in the thread.

I'm just the guy who bought the separate wiring harness for an unrelated DIY central locking project and happens to understand the design of the useless, overpriced fuel door accessory.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

You put ducks on your Jeep dash don't you?

Nah, I can't stand them. On a related note, I've noticed that the more ducks one has on their dash, the less likely they are to wave. After about 5, they never wave.

I would seriously consider contributing to the defense fund of a Wrangler owner who machetied off the hand of someone pouring sugar down their tank.

Now we're talking!!!

I'd contribute too... if only any of us could find 1 example of anyone pouring things into Jeeps gas tanks?

I have 0 ducks on my dash and I dont wave.

Correlation does not mean causation

All I said was in my experience if someone has a bunch of ducks, they don't wave. Correlation vs causation doesn't even apply here.

Sounds like you are looking for something to complain about people that have ducks on their dash and putting them not waving because of the ducks and not because they dont give a shit about you or other people with Jeeps.

I eat duck and flip off people in Jeeps now. Life has come full circle.

Wow, I struck a nerve. It's not too early to have a drink; chill down

Quick question totally unrelated... is it Yo Kramer, as in something yelled in a Seinfeld episode or is it Yok (yoke) Ramer (rammer) like you slam yokes?

Mike, if one were to take the cost of someone pouring something really potentially damaging into the gas tank, multiplied by its likeliness, I believe that that cost (it's expected value,) as you say, to be demonstrable less than the costs of this:

let alone this Lastsun device.

Logically, you are in the right.

So why would I consider buying it, living in a safe area with no enemies?

All I can say is the peace of mind of knowing, in light of the seeming majority of ICE vehicles with locked gas cap access, makes my Wrangler less of a target for such random violence and some how gives me when less thing to worry about in a climate where the current state of affairs (not to get political) already gives me cause to loose sleep.

That is takes my odds from your .00001% to .000000001%, yep. I would be buying peace of mind, even if it's a false sense of a fool's paradise.

Funny logic coming from a guy who urges people using math not to be an extended warranty. based on statistics. But such warranties are far more expensive, and with far more loopholes.

This is a one shot done deal from a guy sick of getting EVAP codes from his MOPAR matching key gas cap with the lousy and leaky O ring.

..haven't pulled the trigger yet.

The Mopar locking gas cap is the answer here. It's fun and easy to set up, uses your original key. It's muscle memory when I get gas, takes seconds.
