Skid plate or shift will be happening to mine as it was removed from its home by a branch that flicked up on the trail luckily not damaged though. Looked under the Jeep action mag jk and noticed a signs that it had been struck by a rock so depending on cost the skid plate looks a good idea.

as mentioned, the evap can is part of the fuel system.

It allows the tank to vent vapour, the charcoal inside the evap can then allows the vapour to consense into liquid and move back to the tank. The charcoal also removes everything out of the air, thus the vapour no longer exists, to the vented air (under slight pressure) doesnt have that awesome petrol smell that any 60/70s car has on a warm day.
