woods evap reloc issues
#42
As requested...foto of evap skid...note the "beefy" bracket...not to hijack this thread, Woods, I am sure, makes a fine product, and I am impressed with his pro-active approach to solving the issues some have had after their install... I just prefer the sometimes "lesser is more" when it comes to my mods...

I just ordered the evap relocation kit with the new instructions, im going to try to do a write up over it, because I am rather .........actually I am totally new to the mod world and If I can do it, trust me, anyone can. This will be a great test on how good the instructions are lol.
Just by judging how good the SS instructions are id say they will be great.

Since Woods is a well known Sponsor on this site I am not going into all the details. His kit is complete and highly recommend him for the source of your parts. This installation took approx 2-3 hours (could go faster if you dont have kids ). I recommend removing the parts and cleaning them first to remove any road grime, mud, clay, etc. Having a dremel or equivalent made this job cake. If you do not have a decent set of tools, cutting tools, time, paint, patience etc. Then look for some help or pay to have it done.
The reason I bought the kit was due to trail damage. I came over a large over hang, up a steep hill, then I saw the look on my buddies face! Man you broke something man. I knew exactly what it was when he said it...
NOW ONTO THE INSTALL.
Just getting started.
Adapter plate before painting and mounting.
Cutting the factory mount is easy with a metal cutting disc.
After the Cut I painted the bare metal on the plate and the holes I drilled.
Black semi-gloss, I painted the entire assembly, Woods directions say to just paint the plate but I decided it would look better as one entire unit.
Cut holes in the storage area sound dampening material to recess the bolts and keep the floor flat.
Installed and tightened. It helps during this part to have a friend hold the bolts with a wrench while you tighten everything up from the bottom.
In its new home its just above the rear axle, Very nice and cozy up there. Should have come this way stock but now it looks as if it did. I painted all the holes on the Jeep to keep the body from rusting before I mounted it.
Factory looking finish,safe, and out of the way.
In conclusion, the directions were so good my 22 month old knew what to hand me as far as tools went! LOL. This kit is awesome and well worth the little money you spend on it! I had one question about a difference between the 2dr and 4dr. Woods was on call and had me going in about 5 seconds!
Woods, product, and materials were A+, just bring some good tools and patience.

If you had read the thread this is pertaining to Woods Relocation Kit only.
Woods, I removed the O-ring behind the white thingee, removed some small dirt on the gasket and then OILED it with used motor oil. Put everything back together and installed the white thingee so that the wire harness is just like yours in the instructions. I did this yesterday afternnoon and this morning only 12 hours later and the gascap error was gone!
FIXED! Thank you for spending the time with me on the phone. Your customer support is above par for the course!!!
The oil on the O-ring was my idea, so feel free to share it.
