Part #: EVO-1121B
Jeep for some odd reason figured that putting a plastic box underneath the Jeep and running plastic lines to it would be a really good idea for those of us that actually use these vehicle off road and in harsh conditions. It's probably perfectly fine if your going to the mall all the time. In 2012, maybe 2011 Jeep decided to put some type of skid plate around the evap canister. This is an improvement of having nothing, but still needs a little extra protection. I had previously relocated the evap canister to above the rear axle, but have had lines come loose, the check valve not reseat properly and just didn't like cutting factory lines to relocate the box. I did use River Raiders evap and air tank skid in the past, but this does not work unless your Jeep has a suspension lift. The driveshaft will hit the skid. This time around I decided to go with EVO manufacturing and their skids for underneath the vehicle. Their skid bolts around the stock evap skid and adds a serious layer of protection to the box. The lines in the back are still a little exposed, but if you get to the point where your going to rip them off, you already have bigger problems with driveshafts and the rear axle. This is actually a fast install, it took me about 30 minutes, and part of that time I was talking to a friend on the phone.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
