92k??? Damn it! I thought I was at least close to you. Oh well... I'm sliding back now with only 78k. I need to do some road-trips to catch up!

iBox, as you can see, Bill & I have a lot of miles on our respective Scions. We both have been lowered for a while and with various mods. No real problems to speak of (my only issue is tire rubbing on the fenders, but that is a good problem, means you are doing good things!

)

Congrats on your purchase & enjoy!

i'm at about 250 miles now and loving it...
everyone at my work want to get a ride in the box...

i'm now starting to think on the mods i want to do...tail light redout and ipod2car are at the top of my list...

I guess Nissan is the only exception to this rule.

You got it right there are lots of problems with nissan take the titan for instance look at the TSB out for the Titan. There are also problems with the Z.

I thought he was talking about cars that ended in a vowel. If anything I'd take a nissan over daihatsu and a mitsubishi any day of the week. Nissan is a very good company and at one point IMO was up there with toyota and honda. I don't know what happened to them in the last few years but they defintely have potential IMHO.

As far as the original question, an xb is a toyota. Buy one with no questions asked, hehe. I have an 04 with 37k..ZERO problems and I drive my Xb hard

Good luck with your new Xb, you will love it.

I will hit 30k day after tomorrow and have had NO trouble at all with the box. still runs perfect , no pieces have fallen off, i'm quite pleased, after all it's a toyota. my 79 corolla had 250k on it when i got tired of it and gave it to the father in law. so i'm expecting a long life.
