well i have been modding my xB a lot lately and havnt really shared any of the progress. I didnt really feel like posting it up one by one if that makes sense..

the mod list so far is:

Tanabe DF210s
Tanabe front strut bar
Fujita CAI
TRD quick shifter
Greddy 480g shiftknob
Carbon Creations CF hatch and spoiler
Factory fog light kit (installed myself)
Black headlight mod aka BHLM with smoked reflectors
removed squirrel finders in projectors
sweet TRD license plate

the car doesnt have HIDs in it yet. The cutoff pic is just the factory bulbs with the squirrel finder removed. HIDs go in sometime this week. 6000k headlights and 3000k fogs

onto the pics... comments and critisism definately welcome

I can haz OEM hatch?

Ppppweeeeeeease?

I would love to come out to the BBQ but its my nephew's 2nd bday party and i dont wanna miss it.


As far as the OEM hatch goes, it was traded for the CF one.. and i wouldnt even think about shipping it from cali to utah!

Booooo!!! HISSSS!!!

J/k. I want to shave mine, but I'd rather have one that I can drop off at the body shop while it's done instead of mobbin around with out a hatch.

I am just going to put this out there... GET RIMS!!!

No hatch is the way to go... like a permenant sunroof, but completely different...

I am just going to put this out there... GET RIMS!!!

you should buy them for me :)

i would drive without a hatch if i trusted people more..

car looks good

Unfortunately, i wont have the money to get the correct size tires til mid september

it's a mod to reduce HID glare when incorporating HID kits to non-HID cars. see the pix on page 4 to get further details.


08SWbox, nice! i've always been partial to black/white panda cars. lookin good, just need some shoes! just keep in mind with the higher K u go with HID it'll be more difficult to see in weather situations; i currently have 5000K hid conversion kit and wish I had gotten 4300 instead.

where you planning on putting the ballasts for the fog lights? just wonderin cus i might wanna go same route. let me know if you also get radio noise feedback at night when your lights are on with radio, it's a tad bit annoying and i might go OE if i ever find the motivation to do my true retro-fit/halo lights.

hey were the fog lights hard to install
were do you wire them up to

the headlights were easy to do. Much easier to take them apart than the tacoma headlights were when i did them.

fog lights are very easy to install. The wires are already in the car you just have to take off the bumper and youll see them tied up.

Im running 6k headlights and 3k fogs and i couldnt be happier with the light output that comes off the front of this car. I can be driving in the middle of the freeway(lane 2) and light up the wall as well as the signs on the shoulder.

The car now has a bluebats overlay on the front bumper and i bought myself some wheels. Just saving up for some tires that will fit on them.

What wheels did you go with?

i found out that the factory wheels from my old truck would fit on the xB. Being that i love the style and color of the wheels, i bought a set of them for the xB.

My buddy is running the wheels/tires right now so i dont have to store them. I will be getting them from him soon when i buy my tires and he will have to put his stocks back on. :P

Here is a pic of my old truck before i traded it in. The wheels are factory but powdercoated charcoal grey. The xB will probably get some satin black P/C or possibly the same color as these.

nice. how was installing the factory fogs? and did u put the spoiler on urself?

looks clean, good job bro...

kdw2s ftw.

those KDW2's were amazing!

Best tires i have ever ran on any of my vehicles.

Debating on what tires to put on those wheels for my xB. Im not going to spend a lot of money on tires because i dont drive the xB nearly as hard i drove that truck.

kdw2s on my box :)

i spent $740 on the tires for my Xrunner, i am not going to do that again. Maybe once my xB is boosted, but until then, some Nexens or Falkens will do just fine.

Any idea on the offset for those rims? Are they 17x8?

OMFG why'd you trade in your x-runner?

the wheels are 18x8 with +32 offset

I traded in the Xrunner because gas in So Cal was at $4.80 for 87oct and i couldnt afford $90 every 4 days in the thing.

I drove it hard and got 13-16mpg... it SUCKED

hated to get rid of it but the xB is a lot more fun to work on.

i had a friend who had a xrunner...he sold it for a supra :)

the Xrunner was fun, just drank a lot of gas.

looking good

I had that same idea of using those wheels on my box but went with these instead....
