There is no "prep". The serial number of the vehicle will tell the tester what state it was sold in and how it should be equipped. There is nothing to be added onto the car. It just should be in good operating condition and all the original smog equipment installed and working. California cars sold new here have some differnt standards, but they would not apply to a used car brought here. When you get here just register the car with the DMV and they will give you a bit of time to get it smog checked.

undesirable information, autos with undesirable catalytic converters do no longer frequently bypass emmissions tests. there is frequently no way around the emmissions try to in case you be attentive to the cat is undesirable, circulate forward and get it replaced. sturdy information, catalytic converters are extremely low-priced to purchase and installation. I had a cat replaced on my ninety two Honda for $ninety 9 put in. short term very own loan from a chum or relative? by skill of how, none of those rapid fix innovations poured into the gas tank will allow you to bypass the emmissions try if the cat is undesirable.

"IF" the Jeep is stock and has all the original emissions and original equipment, it should pass their emissions test. You may have to have it "TWEAKED" by a certified technician in California.
You do not have to do anything until it is time to renew your plates and registration.
You can also go on-line to California Emissions Testing to get more information.

As the emissions tester said... after roughly 10k miles on the odometer, if the vehicle was bought somewheres else and brought in to california it won't need nothing extra....

In all auto parts stores including "Wallyword" you'll find in the gasoline additive area products to add to the gas to help pass emissions testing.
