I was there last year as well with my XB, it didn't have the graphics then. Are you going this year?

 

That's cool! I didn't have my xB then though. I was going this year, but I can't make it! I wish I could though, I love going! It's an all weekend party!

 

Damn that sucks, my group has had our hotel rooms since October.

To be on topic if you guys want to see some dragging/cruising and all out partying you should go to Greenville, MS for probably one of the top 3 shows in the country.

 

Word! That's all you'll see!! Plus tons of hotties too! The girls gone wild crew was there last year!

 

true.. plus easiest mod is right i just took mine off .. but havent bagged it yet..

 

hmm. cut our muffler off and it will get the same look. i saw a 85 civic with this sick muffler mod and it sounded all brawny and was throwing sparks. Kill two birds with one stone.

 

Hey we used to do this in the `70's but we would attach old leaf spring sections upside down under the rear axel , or U clamped to the frame, and when you floor -it the back would dip down enough to emit sparks, some times pulling a wheelie off the line would be hampered. But you only got sparks at take off, I guess with air bags you could drag the whole time, by the way I think springs are a tougher steel than trailer hitch ***** and the different steel is a much whiter spark too.

 

i met that guy with the green one last year in greenville i had a civic then i am goin this year so i have to drag somethin, my front and his or about what and what or mine is a lil lower, with no shoes on you cant put half your foot under mine, my rear is higher but tommorow it will be lower than that cuz you got to remember he's on 19's and im on 18's. i cant compete with that, for now anyways. One thing at a time. Who else here is goin to greenville i will be there with aftermath maybe we can hook up and have a few boxs ridin or somthin

 

I know i'll be there with my box. Haulin it up from SW Florida WOO HOO for 1000 miles

 

This is a great concept. And from reading the title, I thought someone was working on an xB Funny Car...

 

I was there last year draggin with the rest of them in my s10. Nobody understands dragging until they acutally drag their own ride. I wish I wouldnt have sold that truck.

 

That was clean, very nice.

 

very clean!! i love the caddy lights i got a set here i've been thinkin about doin it to ma xb if i ever get it repainted. I should be finished redoing the system and layin it out today. so i'll take some pics and post them

 

caddy lights werent that hard, they just took a lot of time. It took me between 30-40 hours per light to get them done. The end product is great though.

 

....try laying frame on the box...
remove the lip kit and get lower ...
about the rear fender wells and the doors ....
could be easily fixed with tubbing aswell as the front ....just move a relocate a few things.... if a 4runner can be body dropped an xb can too...

 

i dunno if anyone suggested this yet, but smaller wheels w/low pro tires oughta help w/some clearance issues. the fuel filler pipe being one of them, along w/fender etc. ive seen a photochop of some 15" center line whls on a xB, and its not bad

im new to the minitruckin scene, but thats just my .02 -- think you can lay your xB on a trailer hitch?... and just mount the ball upside down..? i know i know, that loses 1000% effect, but it's something to try..

maybe mount a hitch backwards (clearance allowing) and put a reciver/ball in backwards, so the forward force of the box keeps it in the hitch

 

the point i guess its to go big and low.....
or else it don't count!!

 

^What he said.

 

this is before i went even lower.




now i am only a 1 3/4 off the ground in the front. i am in the process of changing the rear up to lay out the same.

 

real ballaz rail body, not frame..
my last car (Honda in my avator)(Greenville 3 years ago) railed plastic, in order to get it that low we had to completely cut out the strut towers and build a new chasis with all new suspension.
I'm afraid to get any lower, you'll have to do the same.
that green xb basically had to do the same, but just relocated his strut towers.

Good luck. Bdroppin a car is alot of work. truckas are easier IMO..

It's cool to see minitruckers cut stuff up to make it lower.
