You would think so in most cases. My problem is if I've kicked up some decent sized rock with the front tires, it's gonna smack something in the rear. I just seem to have that kind of luck. I'm really into collecting as much steel plating as possible for my undercarriage. Nobody seems interested in making steel tires though. Go figure.

I think the important thing is to get that plastic thing out of the way somehow.

LOL!! Coming from a guy who's kicked his EVAP off it's mount a couple of times, I would completely agree.

Brett,

What is the application of the steering stabilizer? Is it for lifts of a certain size?

BTW, I'm going to order the relocation kit today, I just don't know if I need the stabilizer bracket. Should I send you a PM to order?

I do have a temporary website up. You'll need a username and password to logon on.

Wade, (KB7our), I have received several PM's from you and one about the Evap Can (other ones about running 33" tires with a 2"BB). I show that I PM'd you back around Jan 6th. So, not sure what's up with the PM's, but no matter. Here's my email address: Brett@4XFiXdotcom (be sure to replace the "dot" with a ".")

Robar, thanks for the heads up on this thread.

While I've been able to keep up with demand, I'm in process of starting my first real production run. When this production run is finished, I'll ask WOL to post up a press release for me becoming a sponsor and I'll open up my online store. Meanwhile I'm trying to not get in over my head with orders. That's the reason that you have to logon to the website.

If you have an interest in the Evap Can Relo kit, check out the Steering Stabilizer kit also. It's $19.95 and there's no additional shipping when purchased with the Evap Can Relo Kit.

It flips the steering stabilizer to the top of the tie rod to help prevent damage to it.

It doesn't affect drivability or angles or lifts or anything?

Thanks to Bret. I bought the canister relocation kit. Great piece of work. It really shows how much time he put into designing it perfectly. Also, had the relocation for the stabilizer bar done.
Looking forward to getting the reat bucket storage in the near future. And.....waiting for more
of his enginnered stuff. Thanks.

I just put on a good 1/4 steel skid plate under it.
$90 all said and done.
There are threaded holes right there for stand off posts too.
Worked the very 1st time I went wheel'n after having done it too.

Now if there was bigger gas tank that made it worth while to move the damned plastic junk...
