Default Evap canister relocation

OK, I have some questions. I was looking at doing the relocation, hopefully soon. Have been toying with the idea of going the cheap route to move it, or buying a kit. The only kit I had heard of was the one from Woods, web address below. Then today, I ran across one from Kilby, web address below, that looks good also. It is a little more expensive, but looks like it might have a little more to it.

Has anyone installed, run, or seen the one from Kilby?
Thoughts on the one from Kilby?
Thoughts on which way to go, cheap/Woods/Kilby?

I just relocated mine using 3 leftover bolts from my PJ bumper. I put it above the rear diff and it cost me nothing. I was worried about the diff contacting it during full compression but I had no problems at all while wheeling at Rocktober Fest.

Get the Woods.

I have it and installed it over a year and a half ago. NO complaints. Still there, brackets haven't moved nor rotted, not a single issue.

Here's the write-up I followed. if you heat up the lines with a hair dryer they are much more flexible. You could skid it, but that just gives you one more thing to hang up on the rocks. If you move it you don't have to worry about it.

I got the Rock Hard kit from Dave at Northridge, so I don't have any experience with the other ones.

But I can tell you the Rock Hard one is great it's out of the way and install was very easy.

You can see it just in front of the muffler. I also might add that everything is further away from the exhaust than it came from the factory.

Have you looked at one of the JKForum sponsors dietech? They offer a relocation with skidplate and corrected length tubes for the relocate to prevent computer errors.
