ok just got back from Oreilys Auto Parts. They had everything in stock. Some may need to order the hose I used, but most should stock it.

Qty 3 foot Gates 5/8" Fuel hose Gates part#50018 (any 5/8 hose rated for fuel will work)
Qty# 3 Gates 90 degree fittings rated for fuel gates Part#28624 (no hose clamps needed when used with Gates 5/8' hose)
Qty 1 pack 1/4-20 Bolts 3 in a pack Part #760-010
Qty 1 pack 1/4-20 nuts 5 in a pack Part #762-010
Qty 1 pack 5/16 fender washers 9 in a pack Part #766-109
Qty 4 hose 5/8" clamps part #5010 (will be used on the factory line connections if needed)


Total amount Spent $14.32 all purchased from the same place so no running all over town to acquire the parts.
I am by no means trying to discourage anyone from buying a kit, just saying it can be done cheaper if you have a few tools and are somewhat mechanically inclined.

Did it by myself so didn't get any install pics along the way. Its really not that hard. Hardest part was holding the bolts.... Then I thought.... OMG Duck tape lol. Put a lil tape on em from the top side and presto they stay in place while you heave the unit up from the bottom and hold it in place with a 2x4 and then put the nuts and washers on from the bottom side lol.
Total time not counting the parts run..... 1 hours 12 minutes... This was taking my time, but I also cheated and used a battery operated impact.:smokin:

My run down on the step by step...

1. gather parts
2.remove rear seat and carpet from under it
3.Jack up the jeep and support it by the frame so the axle drops
4.Remove evap can and factory hoses.(the hoses can be a bit tricky, but once ya look at em youll figure out how they come off
5.remove evap from bracket and flatten the z bend out of it
6.reattach to bracket and hold into posistion above axle and deceide where to drill holes.(I decieded against cutting the bracket and used the single side hole,and then drilled 2 new ones on the other side)
7.install new bolts in passenger compartment using duck tape as mentioned
above.
8. Place evap in its new home
9.run new lines
10. Cut the zip ties holding the wire
11. Plug in wire
12.clean up the tools
13. lower jeep and reinstall rear seat or leave it out your choice...
14. take a look at your handy work and send me half of the extra money you saved...

here are the pics.
elbows



Canister shifted to the right (drilling the holes can be tricky but it gets everything away from the exhaust.




Exhaust clearance

I am going to add the other 2 90 degree elbows to the top hose once its warmer out to take the bend away. I dont feel anything will happen the way it is, but I have the parts already so why not.

I think you need to get a better camera.

Nah, just hit the macro button.



Don't worry, stang. I got the gist of it. I need to do this before my next trip to the Badlands. Thanks for the materials list.

Thanks for the list of materials. I did the mod yesterday, but I can smel lvapors at start up coming from the rear, so back under i go to make sure everythings tight.

stangjeeper

Definitely check the connections. I have not had any issues with mine at all.

robin

this is good info, as it would be too hard for me to order a kit.

Greenmachine

I took it all apart. Looked for cracks and then reassembled it. The problem went away, so it must have been a loose clamp.

Excellent mod. Will be done when the rain goes away. Thanks.
