That line has to get hot. I will be wrapping that one. Thank you.
Ugh, after reading all of this again, I am going to replace the canister. we will be going to our third HIH and dont want to be worrying about this any more. @savirc you said your canister came w VSC's, I have an 05 built 10-04, saw there were two canisters one up to 5-05 and the other after that. Do all canisters come with the VSC's? The part I'm ordering is 77740-60440, can someone confirm part number and if VSC's come with it......... @Skidoo , if your going to HIH this year, you won't be smelling my fumes, will also try to find that "other" gas station that sells non ethanol gas.

@Austin Hot Shoe did you try building a shield?

no sir, dont want to experiment at 12k feet, I think it is toast, get gurgling at 600 ft on cool days her in Austin...I like the idea though.

Can a canister become unflooded?
Mine never has issues in the winter at any altitude. Only summer and that can be at zero feet above sea level.

Here is a copy of my order of the canister with part number... ouch still hurts.
I guess it could, but I think it would take a very very long time and reduce its efficiency dramatically. I still have my old one, I should crack it open to see what it looks like.
From reading this thread:
Charcoal Canister needs replaced at 65,000 miles? - YotaTech Forums
Maintenance & Repair Archives - Charcoal Canister needs replaced at 65,000 miles? - I have a 2001 4Runner and my check engine light and VSC lights came on so I took it to the dealership. After reading the codes they said that the charcoal canister needed replaced at a cost of over $400.00. They...

What gets damaged when fuel tank over-filled?
It does terrible things to the evap system and that includes the charcoal canister. The canister in newer cars is not vented to the atmosphere like the older cars, so once saturated with raw gas, it doesn’t clear after a few miles, it stays saturated for a while. This, of course, causes problems...

1) Once the canister is saturated its done.
2) Toyota bothered enough to put an ECL on the 4runner when canister malfunctioned but not on the Land Cruiser
That's because it's a heat issue.
I need to get a hot day to test my shield!
Are heat shields being place on both driver and passenger side cat or one?
Still have gurgling. I am going to try heat wrap as well today. My cats are aftermarket and have no additional shields wrapped around them. The shield could also be about an 1.5 wider. May build another. If this doesn’t work. Getting a new canister.

Thanks for all the info guys! I'll be doing the DIY heat shield and canister before HIH this year. I'm VERY much over this problem. Had it bad again in Death Valley a couple weeks ago.
@Austin Hot Shoe can you do an install guide? Or is there one already? The part numbers I have for my 2004 are...
Charcoal Canister: 77740-60440
Air Switching Valve; No.1: 2586050100
Air Switching Valve; No.2: 2586050150
Is this what you are ordering too? I need to track down the hoses that go into the canister too.

Still really hard to believe Toyota has not done a recall.
Sorry, no write up, going to do it for the first time. Yes this is the canister I am ordering. The valves don't come with the canister?

I don't think so. At least from what I could tell. I might stop by the dealership tomorrow and ask the parts guys before I order it online.
I just got off the phone with Toyota USA...They opened a case for me, requested I take truck to dealership to have them look at it for this concern. Once done, the lady asked that I call her back and that Toyota MAY be able to help me out w cost......
We will see.
