  • Installs with factory screws and hardware
  • Limited five year warranty from Omix-ADA

Factory style fuel filler guards

Factory style filler guards are designed to match the original look and fit of the fuel door area. On TJ and LJ Wranglers, a guard of this type keeps dirt from reaching the filler neck and gives the fill point a clean, stock appearance. Since it mounts with factory fasteners, the job stays close to the original installation.

Look for cracks in the plastic and loose fasteners during regular service, especially after off-road trips where the body flexes. Keep the area around the filler clear of mud so the guard seats properly. If the cap begins to rub the guard, check the alignment before the wear spreads to the cap seal.

  • Tighten the factory fasteners after the first drive
  • Wipe mud from around the guard
  • Inspect the plastic edges each season

Questions & Answers

Does 17742.02 fit a 1997–2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ?

Yes. It fits the 1997 to 2002 Wrangler TJ in SE, Sahara, Sport and X trims. Verify the trim matches your vehicle before buying.

Does it fit the 2004–2006 Wrangler LJ?

Yes, for the LJ Unlimited and Unlimited Rubicon models from 2004 to 2006. Other LJ trims are not covered, so check your trim before buying.

What warranty applies?

The warranty is a limited five year coverage from Omix-ADA on this direct OE replacement protector. Check the coverage terms before ordering.

How do I check the protector after installation?

Confirm the protector sits level and the cap seats without rubbing. Tighten the factory screws until snug, then check that the fit holds after a few drives. Look for cracks or loose fasteners during routine checks.

Can I use an aftermarket fuel cap with this protector?

Check cap clearance before driving, since a cap that sits high or angles off can rub the protector. Try the cap with the protector installed and confirm it turns and seals fully. Adjust the position or replace the cap if clearance is tight.
