Ok so i decided to keep the heep, so i need to smogg it!
I need a new muffler, and cat... I know this because they have not been changed since it was born 1989...
What other common smog issues or problems have you 4.0l EFI owners encountered?

bad 02 sensor, bad EGR, messed up vaccum crap. i dont know about where you live, but here they check the gas cap to see if it seals properly. might wanna spend the 5 bucks so you dont waste 25 bucks on an emissions test.

I've had HUGE problems getting mine to pass. My NOX readings put me in the gross polluter category. What I did the last two times was put my trailer tires on it - reduces the load and the NOX readings barely pass.
I think I found out what the problem was, though. The 4.0 doesn't have EGR (which lowers combustion chamber temps and therefor NOX). I've heard you have to run a 3 stage cat on engines without EGR, and I'm sure Magic Muffler just threw on a standard 2 stage. So next year when it's due I'll try that.
