Overview
The Rugged Ridge Elite Fuel Door and Locking Gas Cap, part 11425.15, is a brushed aluminum fuel door assembly for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. It replaces the factory JK fuel filler housing with a sturdy cast aluminum housing instead of covering it, and it includes a factory replacement locking gas cap for extra security.
The housing has a smooth internal hinge and a positive retention latch that is pressed to open and to close. It has a fuel-resistant satin black textured powder coat finish with machined accents. Installation requires no drilling.

Living with the fuel door
A fuel door protects the filler neck from dirt and water, and a locking cap adds a second layer of security at the fill point. The cap and door work together, so a worn door can let grit reach the cap seal. Keeping both clean helps the cap seat properly each time you fill up. Fuel door maintenance is a simple job that pays off over years.
Inspect the door after the first few weeks of use. Look at the hinge, check the latch closes firmly, and confirm the cap turns smoothly without binding. Small adjustments early on prevent bigger repairs later, especially on a vehicle that sees rough trails or frequent washing.
- Keep the cap threads clean
- Tighten fasteners after the first trail trip
- Wash out mud that packs behind the door
