Default Evap Skid
For those that opted to go with the skid vs. relocating it, how many of you have actually used the skid?

I'm leaning to relocating it, looks like it will free up some space for an air tank or extra battery.

So lets see those groves!

I have a rock hard skid. I put it on a week after I bought the Jeep. It has some marks from brush and sand but no deep scrapes from rocks.

I relocated mine for free with stuff I had sitting in my garage. I don't really see a better option than that.

This is what I run, it's a very easy install. I don't think I'll ever hit the skid, but who knows!

Definitely do the relocation at home with some bolts nuts and washers. $100 goes better somewhere else. The air tank with a skid in the original evap location is a damn fine idea.
