Default Crazy ideas for the xB

So me and my friend were discussing mod options for the xB for when we save our money and get one...but then we came up with some nonsense ideas and thought they would be pretty cool to see. Anyways, here goes.

1. Instead of dropping it, put a lift kit on it and then put some big 33" mud tires. Sort of like a monster truck xB. Now only if it had 4WD...

2. Paint it black with a big red stripe like the A-team van...it would be cool. Ok, not really.

3. Paint it in camo paint and stick some sort of artillery on the roof and have a porthole for a gunner...might scare some people.

Anybody else have any insane crazy ideas?? Just for fun of course...

Paint it yellow, add some flashing lights and paint "School Bus" on the sides.

Yeah, how about some black and white paint for a police cruiser xB? Maybe you could just use it to write parking tickets (wouldn't be that hard to out run)

or take one of those hot lava xB's and paint a black 01 on the side...then do some hood sliding and hop through the windows General Lee style...

How about a full open top like a K5 Blazer. Pop the lid and leave nothing but the windshield and front door frames. Of course, you'd have to get some canvas half-doors. Hey this might fit into your 4x4 motif...

How about a GreyHound logo on the side of an xB...

Haha, those are some great ideas...

How about painting it like the mystery machine from Scooby Doo?? Or maybe like a shuttlecraft from Star Trek The Next Generation...they're about the same shape

General xB is the best so far, it would have been the schoolbus but my kids probably wouldn't want to be dropped off in the "short bus".

Please nobody jack-up your xB, Thats a tip over waiting to happen.

I think it would bbe cool to open up the passenger side with either a suicide door or sliding door like a minivan and also have a tent/with screen that attaches to that side of the roof. Like a camper at the beach right.

Yeah those are all good, but...

I have some crazy mod ideas that might look sick if you could find a bodyshop that can do the work and make it look good, but I don't want to reveal any of them yet in case no one has thought of them.

But here are some crazy ideas:

I used to play lots and lots of Dance Dance Revolution, yeah I'm a dork. Anyways, way before the xB being available, I always wanted to turn a car into a mobile DDR Arcade - big TV in the trunk, big sound, big lights, removable metal dance pads. It just wasn't that feasible in my Olds Alero GLS sedan. The xB seems like the perfect car for such a ridiculous mod, plasma in the trunk, giant subs on the side with neon light rings, just like the arcade... Just park it in the arcade parking lot and freeplay for all the addicts!

how about a SWAT scion? black or dark blue with SWAT in white down the sides

and then you could have a bunch of midgets in black jumpsuits with AR15s hop out of the back. that'd be funny!

Can "little people" (politically correct) stand up in an xB??? If so, I'm jealous! So much more room!

I saw a PiTy Cruiser with the skirting over the rear wheels and wondered what it might look like on an xB...

Even worse than the ugliness I had imagined. And that door doesn't help things...

An ice cream truck like the one in twisted metal would be cool.

UPS truck front conversion, schoolbus, municipal bus paint jobs... I think it'd be awesome to remove the whole roof.
