blah blah blah blah blah, "E85 is bad for your engine, E85 will eat your fuel lines, blah blah blah" do you have proof it will harm the exhaust valves? or just crap you've read that somebody else has posted on forums?

Yes I do, why don't you go and read the consumer reports articles on it, and the ones from United Labs, or the articles from the AAA oh and the traffic and hwy people.
Alcohol wasn't made to burn in low compression engines ask any racer worth his mustard. It causes the cylinder to run dry due to alcohols long burn at low compression, helping to causing the exhaust valves to beat themselves to death. E-85 vehicles have about 3 to 4 extra sensors to deal with the affects of running alcohol in low compression engines.

You will need all the emission parts the jeep came with. Should be just cat conv. Stock headers and intake. No aftermarket cold air intakes..
They will smog anything in cali. Make sure you got a good gas cap. Not locking one, they never hold a seal during the vacuum check.
And by the way they got rid of the gross pollutor reference.
I deal with this every other year for my family. Specialy on my brothers lifted jacked up Passport.
Im now smog tech in nevada. Came from cali.
