Poison spyder evap skid

Unread post by Kerri »

Any thoughts out there as to the poison spider evap skid vs any other? A little more expensive but worth the extra cost from what I'm reading. Just thought I'd ask some veterans. ;)

I'd very much prefer a T&T Customs Evap skid and relocation kit. It is about the same price, but it moves it up and out of the way AND armors it.

It's nice to armor it and shape the skid like a ramp, but better to move it so you don't get hung up on the skid at all. In New England, we have sticks and branches that like to reach up like the clawed fingers of the Gremlin on the wing, and rip parts like hoses and brake lines off.

The T&T piece needs to be ordered for the correct year and engine. 2007-2011 or 2012 & newer.

I don't know about either skid in particular but TnT on a whole is an awesome company and supporters of Northeast wheeling.

I worry about relocating the evap because from what I read it can void my warranty. :doh:

It's never been an issue with my customers. And in the rare instance of any warranty issue, we recommend a Jeep dealer that is not a douche.
Most Jeep dealers are pretty mod friendly, it's part of the Jeep life style. If you removed it and did something to overcome the emissions system or make it malfunction, then yes, they'll give you a hard time, but what you're doing is making sure it is protected and continues to function. More than likely, the tech will see it and say to another tech, "Cool! Check out what they did here!"

That's good to know, I thought relocating was out of the question.

For those preferring a skid over relocation, Ace just came out with one that looks pretty nice for $89.00 made with 1/4" steel.
