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...

Thanks for all of the information and the great parts list.

I was torn between protection and relocation... the relocation route sure seems to be the best.

Is there any chance that the rear axle travel will do any damage to the cannister, or, is it tight enough to the pan that it won't be a problem? (I just don't want to overlook anything.)

Thanks

Jeff

I took your idea and cut the bracket and notched it to allow for a fabricated Emergency brake relocation bracket using the stock mounting screws.

Heres what it looks like:
