i know, its a photochop...


...but do ya think its possible???

well ofcourse its possible, but would it be practicle?


With such a short wheel base, our scions on the 1NZ-FE chassis fits that of a CJ jeep. The only problem (other than that of the insane suspension setup) would be the engine. Our small 1.5lt engines couldnt possibly push 36" tires.

 

I've actually seen a raised up box like this in Lexington Kentucky. Raised much higher with bigger tires. Custom made front grille bars, custom paint. There is NO way the little 1.5L engine could push those tires.

I believe the Front end was extented and the 1NZ-FE engine was swapped with a turbo V6. I'm no engine guru so I won't even begin to decide what was under its hood.

IMO It's cool for a picture, but thats as far as the idea should have gone. Anything more than that is just a waste.

 

Yup, its been done. Twice that I have seen, maybe more.
Possible...Yes.
Practical... Not in your wildest dreams.

Pioneers SPL xB


...and the Scion Corp. xB

 

the pioneer sits on a full custom box frame and 4 links front and rear... personally that would be the way to go... it has a small block v8 and is RWD...

The Pickup simply has the factory drive train that was just lowered, and simply has extensions on the factory suspension

some day...

 

well Don, do you still have that Bronco frame??

body swap!!!



it seems like a cool project to start whenever you get bored of your lowered or bagged xB...

 

I have a 87 wrangler sitting out back.. next to an 84 el camino...

no lie..

but if i did it, i would hand build a frame for it...
and Jon, if my car was paid off... it would be

 

custom built frame?

sounds expensive...


the day your payments are finished, your xB will be in peices (like it already is)

what kind of engine could you shoehorn into the bay of an xB???
