Nevada is one of the handful of states that raised the minimum GVWR for smog exemption from 10,000 to 14,000 lbs. Ours went into effect 1 July 2009, more states to follow I'm sure. :dizzy
I just retired a couple of years ago so things may have changed but, I think Naval Station San Diego was requiring smog on out of state vehicles before they would issue a base decal. CA doesn't do the safety inspection like VA but they will get you with smog test.
