Moving To California and Needs Guidance...

yup, san berdo sucks in the summer, only thing good is your close to the desert and most off road company's.

 

The shell will allow you to register the truck as a car rather than a commercial vehicle. It'll save about $80 on the weight fees for commercial vehicles. The shell has to be permanently mounted. If you take it off, you could get a ticket. I don't think that a shell mounted with j-hooks qualifies as permanently mounted.

Note that you have to get it registered within 20 days of your arrival.

The TRD CAI would fail the visual inspection portion of the smog check (no inspection for the first 5 years and then every 2 years after that) but some people have found shops that overlook it. I don't know if they'll require a smog check upon registering it in California. I don't think the exhaust will cause any grief.

 

I just received my renewal notice ($432)

 

HOlly shit thats a lot of money to fork out for a renewal !!

 

Exhaust-yes
Cai-no

I don't know if you own firearms or not but you may want to look into that as well:
