California is a stickler for vehicle emissions. I think we have some of the strictest smog tests. Luckily mine had absolutely no problems passing. Of course, mine is a '99 with only 99,000 miles.

LOL! I dont have to worry bout those kinds of tests here.
And if you still got your Renix engine in it....Youre actually exempt from emissions laws.
Says so in the manual.

They tested everything
I had done Alot of work to it so I thought it would pass but when they told me they had to check the evap system I freaked out. I hadn't done anything to that part of the car but it still passed thank God. I couldn't believe it cost $80 bucks to smog it. Oh well atleast my Cherokee is good for 2 years.
