Hey everyone. After a year of search I finally found the truck of my dreams.
Love this bad boy sooo much.

It's a 2014 ruby red with all the mods that I was looking for.
I picked it up from Utah and drove all the way to California.
Unfortunately the truck runs long tube headers and a Magnaflow muffler which I can't pass emissions test here in California.

I think I'm gonna have to get stock cat and muffler to make it work.

It's an absolute ***** to get done here. I just went through the same thing the other week with my Gen 2 since I bought it in NC and registered here. I have stock cats but my tune caused some problems for me.

Have you already tried seeing if it'll pass smog before you go part hunting? I was surprised how non-invasive the process was now (been a few years since I've done it).

Honestly I haven't even tried since everyone told me it won't pass SMOG.
And the truck is soooo loud I can't even start it up at night. The whole neighborhood will wake up.
I need to get the CAT for sure. Just not sure if I can use a Cat back muffler or not. I love this engine and like to have some added growl for sure

Welcome aboard. Nice setup! Sounds and looks like it’s built for the desert for sure. Enjoy it.

Really nice Truck. Where in Utah did you find it?
Thanks a lot man. I got it from your location actually. St. George.
Beautiful place. I drove all the way from Zion to Sedona and back to California. Did a ton of offroading.
I had an FJ before this on 33s and King shocks and OMG, this is a completely different game.
