I'm enjoying it! I took it on some decent off-roading the weekend before Thanksgiving. (one of the pictures is in my signature now) It did very well and impressed some "real Jeep" owners with it's capabilities. I have my first scuffs and scratches from a stump that was out of my line of sight, but it is a Jeep and I have plans for cutting the fascia up for a winch install anyway, so no worries.

Snow will be fun as well.

It is fun! Yes, I took it to Red Cloud Off Road park in Woodbridge. There was a LOT of places where 2wd would not cut it. Had a blast.

Winter man. We should arrange some kind of mid-winter outing of some sort.

I have a backlog of applications which I will get to sometime. Just let her know that if she says she's in, she's in, card or not.

I live in Fairfax and was thinking of going to one of these meetups...also, where do you guys get your cars inspected (where they're lenient if you're throwing codes)? I think a couple of my mods are throwing codes, and don't know if a P0300 will pass inspection...

That's a random misfire. Is the check engine light on? I live in Maryland and they will not let that pass if the check engine light is on.

You should fix that.

he said stating the obvious

There aren't many lenient shops in VA because the penalties for letting things slide is huge.

Like Steve said, shops around here wont pass you with a CEL, unless you know somebody, but they usually wont risk it. Maybe if you cleared it before you went in perhaps? Then you could hope for the best. Id get it fixed though.

Also, if you want to come to a meetup, you may want to check in here to make sure people are attending. Been pretty quiet lately.

jpkirk · 12-10-2014, 10:54 AM

I tried clearing a code on my truck. I did not pass. Did not fail either but there was not sufficient info to provide a pass. It takes a week or so before it will have set all the statistics in the ECU.

Cristobal09 · 12-10-2014, 10:56 AM

I think he just means a state inspection, not an emissions check. In my old evo for my state inspection, my rear o2 sensor was messed up, I got a 15 dollar code reader and cleared it, took it up and passed. Fortunately I didnt own the car long enough for an emissions check.

Do you ever own a car long enough to worry about an emissions test?

The Z was the first one believe it or not. Owned it for 2.5 years. Second longest I have ever owned a car.
