I think after I buy the new mustang im gonna do a 1-2" lift on my camo-scion get some 14' flat- black 4x100 steel honda wheels add some very small all terrains and add the factory mud flaps, add a beefy roof rack with large basket and bike racks add a small light bar with 2-6' hellas. Done! My neighbor has the imaculate H2 which he actually avoids rain puddels while driving. my lil xb almost has the same cargo capacity and gas milage HA HA at over $2.50 a gallon this summer while he pays over $100.00 dollars to fill his gas tank and gets 8mpg . you bet your ___ ill be going all over on mild trails with my dogs gettin dusty and having fun for 1/5 the price, ill look the same too only 1/5 the size.

I would luv to see it :)

DO IT!!!!

:!: :!: :!:

damn, i was gunna do that a few months ago and go full out. 3" lift, side steps, mud wheels, and i was going to cut the front bumper in half and have those slanted metal protector plates. I took it too the shop and they wouldn't even touch my car. The only thing they sed was that it would slow it incredibly and they gave me all this ____ about the mcphearson struts. bastards

i would like to see it :) certainly would be unique.

I have been hearing about a blue xB in Big Bear Lake California that is lifted. I think it might be owned or sponsored by a snow boarding company since it had stickers allover. My neighboor has seen it there several times and he said it looked nice...
I would like to see a lifted Scion xB..that will be unique.

That'l be dope lookin.

I'd like to see that, I think it would be great... Kinda reminiscent of the Wombat...

Not such a bad idea. A "rally look" scion would really look nice among all the slammed conformists.

Unfortunately, with tires you run out of wheel well clearance pretty fast.

I'm looking for a real roof rack too. Something more like the Con-ferr racks you see on Jeeps.

You might want to trim the skirts a bit to improve the "lifted" look.

Lights on the rack might be a bit over-the-top. :)

Don't get the idea that these mods will make the xB into an off-road vehicle. The underside is still rather fragile, and even with a couple of inches more ground clearance it will still be dicy in rough terrain.

there's definitely space on the xb front bumper to put some big 'ol driving lights 8)

a while back i ported that i wanted to put the jeep liberty roof fog lights on , i wanted an a-team style bb :D

So did anyone ever do this? I'd like to see pics for sure!!

I'd love to see this as well.

I have a sweet, lifted FJ40 with close to the same mods listed and have fantasized several times about transforming the xB into a "rally" box.

Still in the planning stage, but I'm working on it!
But hey, I got the trailer hitch done!
:D

toyota echo coils will give you a couple inches of lift.

Actually you can get coilovers and with the wrong spring height and have your car lited over an inch...when wraith got his teain ss coils, they sent him the wrong spring height for the rear and it lifted it over an inch from stock. Looked sick though with a crazy ___ slant

ahh yes, the old "California rake"

toyota echo coils will give you a couple inches of lift.

Will they? I know that the Echo spring rate is only about 75% of the xB spring rate. Is the free length of the Echo springs that much greater than that of the Xb?

Do you have measurements, by any chance (he asked hopefully!)

I would luv to see it :)

DO IT!!!!

Yeah!!! :twisted:
