Kenosha Warrior Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 just dropped the mj off for a safety certification and sniff test. wish me luck, she should pass no problem, but ive saved enough that if there's anything left to do, I'll get them to do it.

Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Well..We have to deal with this kind of tests in Argentina too. Once a year. They check brakes system ,suspension, horn , lights and engine performance. But there is no regulation for the emission system in Argentina, They just check how your engine is running putting an oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe tail. If that all is Ok then you are given a sticker to be placed in the windshield. Cost is about 60 Arg $ which is aprox 20 U$S. Good luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenosha Warrior Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Failed! no lic. plate lights, no battery hold-down, no pass.side window winder handle, it has YJ stablizers and thats a no-no, manual steering box is leaking, brake lines at the master are toast, rubber line to axel is split too. and this is a lenient check! Ted (my mechanic) said that to get it all completed to *just* make it pass it'll take all that. So far, its tally'ed to around $750-800 to be completed plus the emissions test. I'm ticked, but its my own fault. Oh well. Ted did ask how much Ive paid so far, he says that getting the Jeep from where it was, to where it is now and will be in a weeks time for under $2500 is pretty damn good.

Twisty Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 jeez, my 1995 didnt have a battery hold down, and they let me go for that (even had to go back for the failed emissions!) i wish you luckk in getting your MJ legal. its a challenge, but once you do it, it'll be a good feeling!

JOMJ87 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I only see around 100-150 in parts there. If you have to pull the Steering box go ahead and save the trouble and find a cheap power one to put in as well. If your up for it. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Wait a sec, is the guy that did the inspection and said that these things were wrong the same guy that will be taking your money for the repairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 no lic. plate lights no battery hold-down no pass.side window winder handle YJ stablizers manual steering box is leaking brake lines at the master are toast rubber line to axel is split too. Window handles are part of inspection? Yeah, last time I checked not rolling my window down not only ruined the environment, but it made me crash my truck, making it unsafe for the road. For YJ stabilizers, is that the shocks? Wow, how do they find all this stuff? And I seriously don't understand why they care. People need transportation, and alot of people need to do things their own way to get their transportation down the road. I can understand brake lines and such for safety of other drivers, but a window handle? Just take the doors off when you go in for inspection, and duct tape a flashlight shining on your license plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 You're getting hosed, bro. Although I can't say for certain what the safety inspection points are up there, from that list I can only see two things that would fail safety here in VA where I'm at....the brake lines and the rear plate illumination, and maybe the battery hold down. Do your shops have to post a list of the inspection points somewhere in the establishment that's viewable by the customers? If so, ask the shop owner to show you specifically where your shocks, window crank, and PS pump show up on the list.....failing that, find out who regulates the safety inspection shops in your jurisdiction and have a chat with them (in VA, they are regulated by the State Police). Sounds like someone's trying to make a few hundred $$$ in unneeded repairs to me. Jeff edit: I do know that in VA you have to have an operational DRIVERS side window (crank has to work if manual, motor has to work if power). It's an old dead-letter law on our books, and it's a throwback to the days when operators used hand signals out the window to indicate turns. Why it's still on the books.....I have no idea :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 the window might have to go up and down IF your lights go out, and you have to use hand signals. just a thought. damn, i just re-read the above post. its there :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I got a list of what needed to be done, took it to my cousin, who is a licsened mechanic and he did a double check. Definately needs the work, the high price is 'cause of the per hour rate. its a good 3 days worth of work. oh well, Ive tracked down a new bed for it, in the springtime I'm throwing the new bed on it, a new motor and repainting it with new decals for the bed. Ive got a lot of plans, and getting it on the road is my first priority, nomatter what the cost it. oh, I tracked down another SWB 4cyl MJ that I can basatrdize for parts. its got the automatic, its an 87 and acctually runs, no front shocks though, so its a hella rough ride.
