Question Registering an AZ 4Runner in CA?
If you buy a '99 4Runner in AZ, and want to register it in CA, do you have to make any changes to the emissions system / cats?

How do you get it to pass CA emissions if it wasn't originally delivered to CA?

correct you just have to meet the Federal standard, not the CA one. So if you have a cel you still have to fix it. but you would not have to add a second cat like the CA truck have
