Making a fuel filterdoor in the plastic wheel well liner?

[9W3-HD]

Anyone seen this done before? I have alot of room in the fenderwell and since I have a double shock hoop in there just removing it to change the filter...which is what I did on my LLY, isnt so easy. Im going to need to get to the exaust manifold here shortly and of course routine filter changes so I was thinking that might be handy?
Any ideas?

There is a place that makes them I have seen them but cant remember right now.

takes just as much time to remove the hardware for the access panel ans it does the fender well....

It looks like crap IMHO. to see a hole cut out with a cover over it. Just pull the liner out.

If you really wanna do it there is a kit listed on ebay. just search it and a bunch pop up.

someone has done it before think it was a DIY on DP. But I agree it's got to look crappy, I'd rather just pull the liner.

havent done a fuel filter on a lmm yet, but is it that hard from the top? the older ones are very easy from the top.

I couldn't figure out how to get it out from the top. I had to drop it down through the bottom.

Can you take a few photos of it on your truck? As I never trust the ones on eBay.

Thanks

Not sure on the LMM, but its easiest for me to do it from the top on both of mine. Changed my last one, took about 10 minutes..... I'd say that included drinking the beer but it was really a mountain dew.....

you get the point.
