Default EVAP kit

Hey all. I am new here and doing some improvements to my JK. Does anybody have a suggestion on which EVAP relocation kit might be the best. I bought one but not overly crazy about having to drill through the cargo area of my Jeep.

Personally im ordering the Poison Spyder Evap Plate, looks cool its cheap and recesses it closer to the the body instead of hanging out in the wind.

I've installed three (helped others install in two cases) of the Woods/JeepSWAG kits, if that's what you have. It's really quite easy and you shouldn't worry about drilling into the body (many after-market bumpers and rock rails are going to require drilling, so you might as well get used to it!). Add a spot of primer and topcoat to any bare metal you expose to prevent rust (not necessary for the new, stainless steel parts, BTW). And when reinstalling the hose with the white connector, be very careful that the O-ring is there and properly seated (most common mistake people make, and it will result in a dash warning light). If you were in the Oklahoma area I'd help you get this 60-minute job done.

Here is what I used. I liked it compared to the Woods because like you I didn't want to drill into the body of my jeep just yet..Pretty simple to install too.

Ditto, and that thing feels like it could hold the weight of the Jeep, although I hope I don't have to test it. Plus it protects the evap canister on all sides.

x10! on the Poison Spyder skid. I installed mine back in July. I totally agree that it could take the weight of the Jeep. That thing is thick!!!

Poison Spyder! I'm a believer! My last wheeling adventure bent and scrapped my gas tank skid. I looked over at the poison spider and it just has some small scratches! That thing is a beast! The factory gas tank skid mean while... Looks like crap :( I'm pretty sure I'd have lost my evap canister had I not had the skid. We're talking minor scratches in 3/16" steel, after which the skid gave something like 3/4" more clearance! Yeah, evap would have been lost IMO.
