Nothing wrong with dragging!! Those other s**t wads are ricer ___s! I seen lots of things used to drag. But a lot of people are using trailor ***** now. Real easy to find and bolt up. I don't know where you would bolt them up at though.

What do u mean by "drag"? Do u mean street drag racing or drag behind a truck or another vehicle. If ur trying to drag behind another vehicle then the Box has a bolt on or actually screw into pulling device that is located in the bottom driver side of ur front bumper. It is located behind the honeycomb grill at the bottom. The bolt is located in with ur spare. When u open ur spare compartment it is on the panel u remove on the flip side. Hope this helps if not sorry! Ok enough rambling

He's talking about draggin the frame/bottom of the xB. Throwing sparks! Meaning he is prolly on air and wants to drop the car on the pavement while driving and drop it like that.

Yep. That's it. Trucks do it all the time.

Something like this:


Here's a pic of a trailor ball that's been dragged already:

Check out these vids, if you need to see it in action:

BTW midang what's keeping you from laying out in the front? Fenders? You may have to get new ones. Cut those crappy plastic ones out and weld in some steel trailor fenders. That's what most do anyway.

Won't be able to do it like a typical mini truck but most mini trucks will actually drag their frame to create sparks. No trailer *****, or skid plates. Just the frame.

Yeah most people do just drag thier frame and/or body too! But using something else like a ball is a way of dragging and not messing up their frame especially if they have it painted or something. Like this one:
