Emissions, What to Do?
 

Hi All,
I might have to move in the near future to a place that has emissions
inspections (Arizona). I'm in the military and am a Florida state resident
with multiple cars, not the least of which is my Jeep. Now, it's not a
smoke belching, family un-friendly monstrosity but I don't know if it'll
pass stringent emissions requirements. I've had it for longer than I've had
my two kids and won't sell it just for 36 months in a distant state. What
can I do?
Regards,
Jim

It may pass as is. However, as a military, do the local smog laws and
licensing apply? Might want to check with your JAG office and/or
craft auto shop.

Re: Jeep Emissions, What to Do?
 

I'm gonna have to do that. I could just keep a license and voter
registration for Florida to keep "residency" and be allowed to keep Florida
tags on the Jeep. Don't know if Arizona would think that's cool but, so
long as I don't offend anybody, I could probably be accepted on the streets.
My other car's an '87 TransAm I just picked up and I've little doubt that
the engine won't pass anybody's Smog after I finish the engine. Anybody
know how to use it as a trailered "race car" in the interim until I get back
to where it's legal again? I don't want to proclaim "It's not a streetable
car anymore" and lose the option to drive it. If I don't tag it, they'll
charge me $500. Ideas on that one?

Re: Jeep Emissions, What to Do?
 

Last time I was in AZ (2000), there were no emission requirements. In fact,
I live in VA now, but my Jeep is still registered and licenced in AZ.
