yeah, it's no big deal and yes, your dash will first display a GASCAP message in the odometer. if you don't fix it after a while, you will get the check engine light to come on but that's it.

yes you can drive without it, you'll probably get an engine light and maybe a gas cap light....you also may have trouble filling with gas because it may shut the pump off a lot, just have to pump really slow
it captures the gas fumes when filling the gas tank, its part of the engine emissions system....
there is different canisters for 18.6 tank and the unlimiteds 23 gallon. moparpartsamerica.com has the 18.6 one for 28 bucks, the 23 one for 35. Look under 2007 wrangler, it doesnt come up under 08, but its the same part, its under emission system.

You can relocate it. Or if you really don't want to there are a couple of nice skid plates available for it right where it is. I just got done installing a Rockhard skid on mine. Right at 100 bucks. It's very stout and will hold up the entire rear end of the jeep. If it was in the middle, it would pick up the whole thing. A bit more expensive than relocating it, but there have been a few who've had problems with check engine lights after relocating....for whatever reason. Plus, dealers will not have a reason to try to squirm out from a warranty issue if it's in the stock location. You do have more than one option.
