5523Pathfinder Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Welcome! Enjoy all that is to find here. Sounds like you got some cool goodies inside the rig. What do you plan to do to the outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Welcome to NPORA GM!! I thought they have smog/vehicle inspections in Vancouver, how do you get away with running no cats?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have seen you around! Welcome again dude. Emissions are every 2 years here in WA so you can do whatever for that time and then swap the goodies back in before you go in to be tested. However getting caught by a cop without cats is a HUGE fine. Vancouver cops don't even care anyway so it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Kingman... you live in the wrong county *does not have emissions testing* GM.. Welcome to the NPORA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaseMonky81 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks for the welcomes all. As far as emission testing goes, I just took it thru this year so it has to go agagin in 2011, and then that is the last time. As far as mods for the out side I want to lift it of course, I am very pleased on how well it does off raod so far, I did find out the hard way that the ECM is mounted to low. And I bent two tie rods last weekend, but other than that no problems so far. I want to get more power also, and ad a second battery, a snorkel, and some mounts to my roof basket for jack shovel and axe, also considering the JC center console., I am also thinking I may want to change the diff gears, if i go to 33's right now it has 4.3's I think, and maybe eventually a sas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running manifolds right now I did notice ta difference the first time I did it, it was a drop in low end, I believe it was casued by going with 2 1/2" pipe second time i went with 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
