Ya I was wondering cause I don't have a full six hour day to work on my bumper, and the canister has to be moved to a spot where the new brackets can fit so I thought if I could remove it for a day or two I would be fine; it's a 2000 Cherokee sport 4.0 i6

I have a 2001 and had to leave it disconnected for a few days. The vents didnt work just defaulted to the defrost. It wont hurt your jeep any for a couple days, just wont have vents. Simplest solution was already given though, just temporarily use some zip straps to hold it to something till your bumpers done. I ended up pulling the hard line back up into the engine bay and cutting it shorter. Then i took the rubber end that connected to the baseball and put it on the shortened line. The canister now sits up on the fender wall under the hood. Vents work again!
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

I relocated the reservoir to under the coolant pressure bottle. Fit nicely there, not sure why they didn't do that from the factory.

For the same reason they use regular head bolts on the whole transmission except for the one you can't see up top.  ::)
