Default What can I do with my 93 Cherokee

Hello,
New here to Forum.
I'm the second owner of a 93 Jeep Cherokee Country (totally stock).
Vehicle is extremely clean. Only has 140K.
Problem is I probably won't pass the all too restrictive CA smog next time.
Tolerances are harder and harder to pass.
New catalytic converter got me by last time but was told might not make it again. I love this Jeep and would like to keep and hand down to Grand kid.
So what do I do with this beautiful vehicle?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Load it up and move to a state that doesn't suck and have absurd laws like CA.

well plenty of jeeps have to pass cali smog even older ones then yours... I would do a complete tune up and change the o2 sensors change the oil air filter etc...... before the next time you have to go for smog add a little 93 and make sure the cat is very very hot that also helps... like literally a week before so everything is fresh... my 90 passes nj smog.. btw any pics of your Jeep?

Ah, Florida. A place where I can drive my Jeep in peace without politicians passing stupid Liberal laws like these mandatory tests! .

I've only had a problem smogging a jeep in CA once. and that's because of a bad emissions leak. if you don't want to do the maintanance required to get it to pass sell it to me
