I'm looking for a brush guard, some good suspension parts (probably gonna go with TRD) and possibly a skid plate. I plan on putting some lights on that brush guard but first I have to find the thing.

Does anybody know where I can get some good off road parts for my xA?

 

well the xA is NOT an offroad vehical so for off road parts like brush gards your going to have to have them custom made..... there are a few companies that make skid plates for the engine like Beatrush comes to mind and I think C-One makes one as well ......... and you should prob look into coilovers for suspension

 

skidplate BAM!

Awesome thanks for the replies. and that is a nice skidplate.

 

trade in your xa for an fj cruiser, tacoma, or heck, an old jeep, what do you want to take an xa off roading?

 

or...not. besides everyone makes those off road, no one does xA's. and eventually I want to make it into a rally car. (and yes I have seen the SERT car)

 

you should talk to rallying the scion. he made his xb into a rally car.

 

I saw that I think Ill have to shoot him a PM

 

You are going to need REAL suspension for rally. Not the TRD Sportivo that is made for the street.

Look into DMS (http://www.dmsnorthamerica.com)


It takes a lot of money to create a rally car. If I were you (and I'm not) I'd buy something that was already built for rally.. not waste a perfectly good newer car.

You are sooooo further ahead to just get a real rally car.

But, I admire your drive. I think..

 

I agree with illist, your best bet is to get a car made for rally, the body frame for the xa isn't the best for off road. It's like making a car made out of aluminum and pushing it down hill, thats about what you are doing w/ your xa just my 2 cents

 

Sorry but Ive got to disagree you BakerRage. Right now I'm looking at a Eagle Talon that someone has made into a rally car, and a Ford Focus. I would have to say those are not much different then cars actually made out of aluminum that people have "pushed" down hills. So don't get me wrong I like the input but it would not be the worst for off road.

Straight off of the NASA RallySport Site:
There are three important facts to consider when selecting your first rally car and class:

1. If it is sitting in the driveway and is paid for, it could be a rally car
2. your first rally car will not be your last because...
3. there are those who have rolled and those who will!

 

Alright so for now alot of what I want to do is on the back burner but at the moment I want to work on Lighting. Ive got a Yakima Roof rack for my bike and such. I was looking at mounting some PIAA 40 Rounds on to the front crossbar.
Would anyone know if the ATV, or motorcycle bar mounts would work for that crossbar? I don't see why it wouldn't but I thought I would just make sure. Or would I have to get all kinds of DIY with it? Any feed back would be awesome.

 

dude, is it me or did you not just ask for offroad parts and not advice on weither you can or cannot rally your car? i would look at the tein website and see if you cant find something there for it.. i also think if you want to drive your car in the dirt you would have a blast!!! go for it. oh, and send some pics too... good luck.
