Looking forward to more info about the emissions compliance!
Sorry for the crappy pics, the XJ is not on my lift.
Carbon canister mounted just forward of the stock fuel filter. All new dorman parts to match the truck.
Here you can see the vent valve, stock fuel filter and carbon canister. Pretty simple, use the factory steel tube to connect the GM purge solenoid on the motor back to the carbon canister. There is also a hose going from the carbon canister to the vent valve and a hose going from the two factory Jeep rollover valves on top of the tank to the carbon canister (with a shut off valve (everything wired to the factory ECU, wires run parallel with the fuel pump wires).
So three hoses total, one from the carbon canister to the engine purge solenoid. One large one from the carbon canister to the shut vent valve. And one from the carbon canister shut off valve (mounted on the carbon canister) to the fuel tank vent valves on top of the tank.
Another shitty pic of the carbon canister and the bracket i made.
Hood scoop! Wanted to make something to match the Jeep XJ hood lines and body. Nothing off the shelf i could find so i fabbed one up out of balsa and covered it in fiberglass.
All glasses up ready for install then bondo.
Installed and bondo'ed up. Did this yesterday, its raining today so i havent sanded or painted it yet. (p/s my whole Jeep is rattle canned if you havent noticed).
Front shot, ready for sanding. Note how it matches the hood lines.
Stock steering shaft was 1/2 inch from the left bank header. Turns out the vulcanized rubber in the stock shaft didn't like that, it melted and developed play. Bought this Borgeson shaft, it was $$$ but well worth it.
Upgrading the brakes. Factory booster on the left (with over 300,000 miles on it). Installing a new booster from a WJ. Had to make a 1/4 spacer and drill out the hole for the peddle bolt but other than that pretty straight forward.
Booster is also from a WJ. The WJ has metric threads. It will be plumbed to a Willwood adjustable proportioning valve which has standard threads to match the Jeep XJ which is standard (will be using adapters mounted on the master). Still waiting on the valve, FedEx lost it.....
