For the second picture, I’m referring to the round part furthest to the back.

for your second picture, referring to the round part: that would be your brake booster.
the first image i would imagine is your evap canister, but i don't have a 97 so my canister looks a little different, but is in the same place.

@Vasq is right on both accounts.

Huh, the first picture had me baffled. I've only had a 2002 and 2004 and the evap canister is under the battery on both of those. Interesting.

Not that it matters in this particular post but that is not the evap canister under the battery, its the vacuum reservoir.

Thank you all for the feed back, and thank you for whomever moved my thread to the correct forum. Figured I posted in the wrong forum after all was said and done.

X2, your EVAP's canister in behind the passenger rear tire

What? is this specific to 97's? I've never heard of this before.

The charcoal canister is round like in the first picture for the 97. In 98 they switched over to a roughly rectangular version that continued in the same shape until 2006. It stayed on the fender in front of the brake booster and master until 02 and in 03 they moved it to the front side of the right tail light.

The vacuum reservoir under the battery tray stayed in that location throughout the TJ production run.

Another thing I picked up in the first pic is the sticker for K & N air filter. If that is in there, replace with a stock paper fram or similar, the K @ N is not helping nor doing your 4.0 any favors. It is just letting in more dirt/dust into the engine, the 4.0 does not additional air to run at it's peak.

Just another one with a 97 confirming that it is, in fact, the evap charcoal canister

It does not contain evap, it contains charcoal.
