PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Skid Plate Installation
Step 1 - If you have a model year between 2007-2011, then you will NOT need to remove any existing stock skid plate (Skip to Step 4). If you have a model year 2012 or newer then you will need to remove the stock skid plate (See Step 2).
Step 2 - Our skid plate is designed so that you DO NOT have to remove the hard lines going into the evap canister. Since you will not be needing your stock skid plate any more, then use the tin snips to cut across one leg of the stock skid. Once the stock skid plate is cut, using channel locks bend the metal enough to slip the skid plate around the hard plastic lines. (See Figure 1)
Step 3 - On 2012 and newer models, using a 13mm socket and ratchet remove the bottom bolt that holds the evap canister to the skid plate. (See Figure 2)
Step 4 - Using a 16mm socket and ratchet, remove the 3 bolts that hold the evap canister in place (2 bolts front, 1 bolt rear). Now you can completely remove the stock skid plate on 2012 and newer models. The evap canister will remain hanging on the Jeep. For 2007-2011 models the mounting bracket will remain on top of the evap canister. (See Figure 2 & 3)
Step 5 - Now bolt your new Hyline Offroad evap canister skid in place using the previously removed bolts. For 2012 and newer models you will need to reinstall the one nut and bolt in the bottom to affix the canister to the skid plate.
