Gas tank cap holder? Cosmetic mod?

Is it just me or do the 3rd generation 4runners (not sure of other gens) not have a holder for the gas tank cap? It's becoming annoying everytime I fill up gas to not have a place to hold the swinging gas tank cap. Any idaes on a simple cosmetic mod?

Even my friends 97 corolla has one !!

Wow! I've never noticed that before! I would imagine I had one also, but I can't believe I have never noticed it...

Ok now I'm pissed...I know I'm not seeing things. I just took this shot from my 2002 Sport. I don't see any cap holder. Vince, can you check yours again?

What happened ?!?!?!?!

Hey man, chicks fart - fact of life. There isn't always a dog there for them to blame it on...

I know where you're coming from - my wife would kill me too.
