Here's where I get lost, the 3.4s on the Tacos and T100 can have an aftermarket cat on the same years but no 4runner unles it's a 2.7. Go figure.Now there are recertified cats, but starting July 1, 2008 those are going to be stopped and it will be a dealer part only. I'm looking a $750 installed for a recertifed cat and I paid $155 after tax for the rear O2 sensor.

I found out the same thing when I was having O2 sensor problems. It IS cheaper to put on a budbuilt belly pan on then to replace a cali smog 3.4l cat.

Guess they got tired of picking tomatoes in south east San Diego. Here in the south east our dogs like to sleep under the truck.....not much of a problem here...
