I had the same issue with the strap being loose on Die-Tech. I put a piece of foam in there as well. I dont think its a 2009 issues as I have a 2008.
Other then that I was happy with the install.

Evap canister
Yes there is a visual inspection and it is pass or fail. Honestly, the chances of a tech looking that close and knowing that the canister had been relocated is small BUT if could happen and it would be more problems than you want.

I used the Die-Tech relocation kit, took about an hour. I went with this kit because it not only relocates it, it protects it as well! I did have to use a piece of rubber between the holding bracket and the canister as it did not secure it tightly. Maybe Jeep changed the evap for '09 models?
Also anyone else that has had this issue please send a PM.

I am a licensed California smog tech. If a vehicle came into my shop for a smog check and had the evap canister relocated, I would have to fail it. The law states that you cannot modify the smog system in any way unless it has a CARB sticker on it. I understand that the canister would function the same way but it is my license at stake. This is exactly like something the BAR would do to bust a smog tech.
With a late model car in California, beating the sniffer is easy; its the visual inspection that kills you most of the time. I'm going with the skid.
