How to replace Toyota Tacoma gas door

[@Njello09]

Wow! I’ve got a 2017 and I thought I was the only one with this problem with my fuel filler cap 😂 I’ve got the same dent like yours but I’ve managed to open it fully with some bending lol. I’ve went with my crooked door for about 2 years and I think it’s time to change it out. Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Wow man that’s exactly what happened to me, I walked towards the truck and the door was jacked up, had to change it I couldn’t get gas in, yeah man let’s get that door replaced! Supper easy!

[@andrewbudd8136]

Same

[@rurban9874]

Looks good with the black door. A jack nut is also a inexpensive option if the original screw holes get damaged during removal.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Great tip!

[@-Nathan87-]

Plasti dipping mine just wanted to see a look.....looks good make sure you replace those door handles with black too 😉

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Interesting never looked into it, I’ll check it out!

[@markmalone5785]

Very helpful. Thanks for the link. I redid mine. The part fit perfectly. Again, VERY helpful!!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Love it! Glad it was of much help!

[@jc.daguila]

Thanks for your time!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Glad it was of help!

[@scottsanders546]

Nice to know to to change the gas door...but the curve on that black door doesn't match the old one.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Mine does , and that’s interesting what year do you have

[@Maadanchik]

Thank you for the video, im at this point as well where i need to replace it. 2 things to add, you can get the OEM spray paint by your VIN number and spray paint it and to avoid this situation in the future lubricate the hinge annually ( like fucking religiously).

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thanks for the tip!

[@RichardKnicks]

What running boards and what skid plate? Looks great! Thanks for the video!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Running boards are stock will be changing those after I install the new Body armor pro series 2 for rear bumber, kid plate also is stock , stuck between getting TRD or CBI thank you!

[@RichardKnicks]

⁠I have a 2009… do they make those for that year?

[@mattcahill3182]

I’ve had the same issue for awhile but finally looking to fix it… from what I see you have the shorter box? I have a 2017 long box, wondering if it’d still be the same part number ? If not do you know which one is the correct one? Thanks in advance!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Great question, it should be the same, hopefully you should be able to fix the issue! Good luck!

[@Aaphree]

It blows my mind that Toyota didn't fix this issue with the 2016 redesign. Same exact thing is going on with my parents' 2015. Might do what you did instead of installing new rivets

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Crazy smh hope you can fix it

[@zeekstr6965]

Looks good!!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thank you!

[@cruiseviewsandotherstuff1905]

I have the same problem. Thanks for your video. I will order a new door.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Glad video helped you out! Good luck!

[@ANTArts-ix4ju]

Great Job, and Ribit solution. FANTASTIC

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thank you!

[@ea466]

I love the repurposed toilet bowl"screws" lol

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Exactly! Jajajaja works great!

[@nancyfuentes4173]

Justo lo que necesitaba saber 😊

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thank you glad it was helpful !

[@maximillianpatterson639]

I have the same exact problem with the hinge bolt bending and breaking

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Time to replace that door!

[@RagingRapids311]

How hard was it to reach behind to put the wing nuts on? Did you need that long of a bolt?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Honestly it was not to difficult but having the bolt a bit longer helped A lot

[@giovannipimp7769]

​@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477what size bolts/nuts/washers did you use?

[@setsailatnoon]

Why don’t they make a locking door?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Would be nice

[@TerenceCashin]

What do you call those bolts and where did you get them?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Can’t recall the name of these but bought them at Home Depot

[@TerenceCashin]

Went to HD today and searched but couldn’t find them…employee didn’t know either. I’ll keep looking….thanks

[@Nwvibes42]

Those bolts are for a toilet flange

[@rysliv]

Probably could use rivnuts on this as another mounting option.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

That was the initial idea

[@romlekyuyu7141]

What did you use to clean?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Honestly just some dawn and some hot water

[@romlekyuyu7141]

@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477 where did you order the fuel door

[@connerosborn5655]

What size drill but did you use

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Honestly I don’t remember but start small

[@ALittleBitOfEverthingDIY]

Siiiickkkkkk

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thank you! Hope it helped out!

[@jf2917]

Where did you find the screws

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Home Depot

[@nickk3085]

Where did u get the us flag next to the gas cap

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

It’s a magnet I ordered it online

[@Nimbus849]

Toilet flange screws??

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

You got it!!

[@Cliffdodger]

What made it brake?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Honestly I’m not even sure what happened

[@Cliffdodger]

@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477 I guess I’ll spray mine down oil.

[@BORN2LOSE13]

Not very clear on how you secured the screws from the back you didn’t show us

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Around 3:27 I show the bolts I used to screw it in from the back

[@guayusateahouse]

​@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477that's a long reach esp. to the upper bolt

[@fereydountavangary]

Would you sell me the old lid?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Sorry sold it to someone near me

[@patrickfurey2839]

😂😂

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Hey it worked! Jeje

[@doneinthongkham6602]

Why it won’t close after i open it?
