I've got the 'Predator' or 'ZMAG' locking fuel door on my list of accessories.  I like the OEM look, but it just makes me nervous to not have a locking door covering the fuel resevoir.  anyone have one that can comment?? 

also picking up some tail light guards, and maybe the 'Steelcraft' H3 rear bumper guard (contemplating this one......see pic) 



any other suggestions?

I do like that rear bumper guard, where did you find that? As for the locking fuel door I prefer the black accessories to the chrome ones for my rig, that being said I like the look of the factory locking fuel door so much that it may end up being the only piece of chrome I put on the entire truck.

i'm with you on that......i'm mixing some chrome (door handles and grille) with mostly black accessories but might do the chrome gas cover.  

anyway, the rear guard was at Teaka toys, but sure that G-style and others can get as well as it's made by Steelcraft.

Too many haters, so you can't be too careful

Locking fuel door was the first extra for me. Install was a breeze.  Also I have that Steelcraft rear bumper guard.  Its a handy item for extra stepping area on the bumper when Im loading the top rack and has saved my rear bumper at work a couple of times.( alot of people are still asleep when they park in the morning ) Very well made and strong.  Wasnt sure I would like it when I got it,  but its still on there  and holding up well. Always figured I could use it as a boat anchor  if I didnt like it.

Unless you're worried about someone putting something in your tank, I wouldn't be concerned with having a lock.

agreed.  I was told that the tank is anti-siphon, but being at school, I'm not so much worried about people trying to steal gas out of the tank as drunken idiots shoving stuff in there.

StarsnBars:  Dude that is a sweet looking 3.  I think the GM/Hummer chrome door had a part number change and now does not have the lock.  Dealers might have an old one in stock though.  Mine is the new one, no lock, but I do like the chrome door over the stock hole w/ cap. 
tmoody:  I like the rear guard, but I also saw something similar that just goes in the hitch receiver, can't remember where,  and no I am not thinking of the little step/bumper guard thing.

Rear bumper guard would be a nice addition. Does it decrease departure angle or not?

Starsnbars what kind of roof rack is that if you don't mind me asking?

I just bought the OEM non locking Hummer fuel cap off of EBay.  Just arrived today in fact.

I like the fact that it has the Hummer logo on it and I was looking for a non-locking unit as I read somewhere that the locks can freeze up in the winter.

So being from Canada eh where the beer is always cold and the women..well, er you get the point...

I got the rack here  Northerner     http://www.etrailer.com/pc-CCR~59504.htm    Well worth the money I spent,, just watch elastic tie downs.  I released 2 on one side , they flew over and dinged two small dents from the hooks attached to the tie downs on the other side,,,  See ya,,,
