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
