    I guess I should have clarified...emissions. In CA we called it smogging your car and people get confused. I got failed in CA because I had a crack in the rubber intake house. He stated it caused "smog to entire the air". Umm the intake house sucks in outside air.

    Yup. I am using the one from my 4runner. I did swap the tps off the throttle body and I have a friend the idle air control valve.

    You think you need one?

    While I agree certain states go to far with it. Like in CA you can get failed because you have a CAI with no CARB sticker.

    Definitely happy they caught the fluid in the brakes as it's likely not something I would've found until it was too late.
    Failed me because I had clear corners in. I had already taken out my bumper lights and covered my ditch lights.
    Failed me with exhaust cause I had chopped it under the vehicle. Cats and O2 sensors were untouched when the exhaust was put in. I failed simply because it wasn't long enought

    Is everything plugged in?

    That sounds like a bunch of petty shit...

    When you do the rear axle seals go to the dealer and get oem seals. I had a friend go aftermarket and the seals only lasted a year.

    Can do, thanks for the heads up.
    And yeah, I'm just bothered by the petty shit, especially because he started off telling me the amount per 'fix'. I'm sure he drives a Jeep

    It's stupid crap like that why I don't emission/inspections. I'm running clear corners with orange bulbs so they basically the same. The length of the exhaust doesn't hurt emission ouptut

    She lives off a low maintained dirt road, apparently couldn't see the road and went off of it. Step-dad got her out before I could get up there. Almost had to bust out the winch today

    I have a black thing where you have a silver thing.

    Does it start at all? What about the green box on the passenger side or the black box on the back. Pics of those?

    Looks like it's $34.75 new pre shipping. Got it in a package deal with some 8 wraps and tokico shocks so didn't pay full price. You tell me what you want to pay shipped
