Long Travel BS Thread

just strap in a stock tank for smog... thats what i did with my fuel cell. took like 15 minutes to reconnect all the evap shit and strap it in place. passed fine.

 

id do that but cut the top off my stock tank. think they will notice ?

 

Haha

It's just a tool box I swear!

 

Absolutely, its pretty tough to compare leafs with links.

I heard there is wording coming like "stock fuel tank in the stock location" so if you're linked you're screwed. Not a risk i want to take.

 

Not to mention the CHP roadside inspections, yes they do happen.

 

Remind me again why Cali is a great place to live.... and don't say the beach, cause Cali beaches are disgusting

 

Some of us do Surf as well.

 

Thats a pretty broad statement. Maybe in LA, north county SD beaches are amazing. But number one is the weather. I live a block from the beach and the weather is perfect year around. Well worth some carb and gun headaches.

 

100% agree, most of my Family is from Solana Beach/ Encinitas area I have surfed, fished and scuba in the No. County most of my life and the beaches are very clean.

 

Sounds like there's a jellyfag in our midst.

Don't forget this state has most of everything.

Where else can you go from the beach to the mountains and desert in one day.

 

if your linked with a cell and you can keep the CEL off without any codes you should be fine if you know somebody at a smog place if not it shouldn't be too hard to find somebody to hook you up especially on forums people usually know somebody my friend got his 4 linked s10 with a cell done no problem just had to pay extra worst case we pay somebody that works at the DMV which we did for my buddy's supercharged prelude not cheap our buddy that owns a smog place said that anything over 2000 won't be ran on the dyno anymore they are just going to plug them into the obd2 and if you got any pending codes or if even one of monitors aren't ready it won't pass 1999 and under will be ran like normal on the dyno

 

Been through that whole needing a buddy to get smogged thing. Wont do it again. Not worth the hassle.

 

Definitely not jealous. I was Cali born and raised, best decision I ever made was leaving that state, same for my parents.

In under 2 hours, I have 2 different sets of dunes, the river, the lake, and the desert is my back yard, literally.

In 3 hours I have some of the best snow, greatest hiking, most breathtaking views, and some of the best scenery this country has to offer.

In 4 hours, I have glamis, ocotillo, the beach, etc.

All while having no state tax, I can walk around with my gun on my side, and I live in the entertainment capital of the world, my mortgage is a 1/4 of what yours is in a beach city. I'll stick to Vegas, I'm also close to 75% of the desert races

My parents spent over 10 years building a business in Cali, and the economy out there almost tanked them, left Cali with 60 vending machines and moved to AZ, they now have 750 machines, and just took over 3 casinos in Laughlin for another 150 machines.

Cali has some pretty sights, but the bullshit it takes to live there is not worth it in my opinion

 

Why every time CARD is talked about someone has to chime in that we should move. How about we stick to talking about CARB? I hate Nevada and Arizona's weather. I will never live there. Please drop it.

 

You have to drive to Cali for the 4 hour plus trips



..... In the words of Carl

I win

 

Ok, dropped.

 

guess I'm just lucky to have a buddy that owns a smog joint down the street

 

<3

Yes you're very lucky

 

lucky, yet its something you keep on the hush hush. worst comes to worst, might have to register my truck in yuma. my cell has to be safer than the stock tank lol. gotta pay to play. i mean live.

 

its not about safety, its about the probability of Gasoline fumes/liquid spilling on the ground and or into the air, it goes hand in hand with the CARB spare gas can valved tubes. At one point you could use a Cell if you had the stock filler tube and all the recovery circuit/filters.

I say this after watching a ding dong spill about 1/2 a gallon at a gas station from over filling their tank...
