Been thinking (just thinking at this point) about possibly desmogging my 1981 factory original FJ for the sole purpose of it running better and maybe (dare I say) a bit stronger. I keep going back to the idea that I have a perfectly good and running FJ with all factory CA smog...and I do not want to ruin the overall value here. But looking for anyone who was in the same boat at some point. Saw this similar post here from long ago.
Can you desmog and keep all the rare OEM parts in a box - to be installed again later if needed? Is anything permanent when you desmog? I have seen the amazing write-ups here on how to do this procedure, but looking for general advice around the "why" do it and "will" it ruin your FJ value.
TIA
