Another good reason for Full Time 4 Wheel Drive!
I have the best of both worlds - OBDII on a 95, but they only check for it on 96+. Visual/sniff inspection for them, OBDII for me.

Maybe, I guess it would depend on your skilz? IMHO OBD2 is much easier, no visual or sniff. If you can cheat the ECU, could remove the entire EGR system (good mod), the cats (don't see the point), etc. If it doesn't code, the vapor and cap hold pressure, you are good to go.

With a tubing cutter you slowly adjust it a little tighter a time to make a nice cut. It you put to much pressure it crushes the pipe making a poor cut. Something tells me this guy wasn't worried about making a nice cut. The reason I brought up the tubing cutter is there have been a few cut off in the parking lot of the Phoenix Public Library in the downtown area during the middle of the day. Everybody nowdays has a cell phone and thought if anybody heard it they would have called the police. Instead it have been when the person started the vehicle they found out it was stolen.
Sorry to hear...
Wrong side of town to be the guys who stole yours, but two are off the street for now.
2 men accused of stealing catalytic converter in Glendale
That's like, 1/10 a mile from my house. Wonder if they are the same bastards who stole my stereo.
I live in New River. Nobody steals anything here. I'm not sure why...
The sheriff said something about "squealing pigs", but I didn't get the reference.
"Boy you sure do have a perty mouth, gunna make you squeal like a pig!"
New River has had its fair share of stories about booby trapped yards and old guys who will chase you off their property with shotguns. People still steal up here, just not as often as in PHX. Definitely less likely to happen up here, almost everyone has a firearm in their home.
deff a necro post but for great justice*
caught afew fxxxers trying to take s*** off my jeep some months ago, midnight theres a truck parked in my front yard and im sittin on the pc chattin up the game servers, drop of a wrench and im out my back door and on my roof with an assortment of goodies and my Glock. M80'd the guy under my jeep and and the other 2 took off running i cuffed the a****** stunned by the half stick and chased off the others, they had a truck bed full of cats and that was more than enough for the cops, i also got afew tools for free ive got cameras now

luckily they didnt have any guns and my exhaust is a barks so it slides on and off with afew turns of a wrench so their saws were in the truck bed
guess they scrap the metal?

We have a pretty clear field of view on the approach to our house (north of Wickenburg). Still, I've been lusting after one of these for the front yard:

Forget the front yard. It would be perfect option for the bed of my FJ45LP-B. Isn't IH8MUD some kind of a police agency.
Group buy?

They do have other options (airborne, sea, and land-based fire control units/mounts).

hah or you could just get afew embassy shock&awe boxes 
dont know the proper term but there boxes of basically 50 (usual size) short barrels with rummer ball ammo that launch out like a claymore when someone gets too close to the building on lock down.
a nice line of those would be pretty handy and wouldnt mess up the car
