Question Skid plate or relocate?

Time to deal with my Evap can. I'm inclined to relocate using a kit, but open to suggestion. So...

A) Your preference between skid plate type protection and relocation?

B) Your preferred brand for (A) and why.

Thanks!

I went with Poison Spyder's evap skid. I like the major protection while it also raises the evap can a very noticeable 3/4"

Relocate and be done with it....I've killed off 2.
A skid is just one more thing to hang on rocks.

5/8th pcv hose 2'
Drill a couple holes in rear tub 2 smaller bolt/nut/washer set ups and cut the raised front part of the bra let off...

My total cost on last 2 jeeps $3.50 to relocate the bracket and canister.....

Do you have any kind of write up on how you did this?

Poison spyder all the way, I wheel rocks all the time and can say if this skid is what hangs up you have a lot bigger problems.
