just posting some pics, it's a work in progress. Going to shave the taillights and plate this weekend, try to get the bags in the back, etc...It is going to get painted begining of september. Dont be to harsh! so far...shaved handles, markerlights ,wiper hole, 20" motegi dp 6's w/toyo proxy4's 225/35/30, Tanabe df 210's, kicker comp cvr 10's under each front seat, strup exhaust, strup header, ydr air intake..coming soon...kit, bags, paint, interior...maybe 22's in the back "i know they have to be custom made, allready talkin to someone" enjoy "dont tear it apart "

 

I'm jealous, shaved handles!

The chrome Motegis are a good choice also.

I'm not sure how ell the 22s will fit, and then having it bagged may or may not work.

 

I like it!

 

yo nice car but how can u have the tire size toyo proxy4's 225/35/30 ;)

 

His tires shrunk in the wash

 

get rid of the 20's and finish the body oh yeah. some nice tuner style 19's would look awesome.

 

looks good!

 

Although I agree w/ you, it seems like that hes not really worried about those 20's slowing him down, its lookin more like a show car...it looks good bro, I would never be able to rock 20's w/ all the pot holes on Long Island!! As far as the 22's, like Brad said, it probly wont fit, you would really hafta do some major major modifications, not gauranteeing that it would work. That alone would make the project not worth it IMO. Keep up the good work, the box is coming along

 

Anything above 18 inches looks really really stupid on this car.

Wheels and stance before paint and bodykits.

 

nothing is impossible.....

with time and cash plus skill,,,

it can be done..... when i had my bagged Taco..
i seen a few setups that left me in awww!!!!

i would love to see some major mods done to an xb....

 

Yah my bad..225/35/20, lol. .as far as the 22's i am not that worried about fitting them we are planning on tubing the rear and doing alot of frame work, like notching the rearsubframe. I am a minitrucker not tuner for me the lower they are and the bigger the rim the better. my only concern is the cost of the 22's to get them custom made. I got partial sponsorship on the curent rim and tire combo so they were cheeeep!!! Thanks for the good feedback and bad but i still dont understand how people can say get rid of the 20's for 19's that is 1" what is the big deal tha makes 19's cool but 20's stupid, oh well good thing i am building this for me. so what do you all think of shaving the taillights? I have not seen it done and can not wait to start it saturday. i have led strips that are going in the back window. They are not visable untill i hit the brakes,turn signal etc...

 

Looking good man, I like the way the 20"s look on the car. I have a set of 20"s for my xb. I like them.

 

Looking good man.

 

Rip off the ground effects, put 22s in the rear and body drop that thing to the door. I am waiting on somebody to body drop one of these without the ground effects. Lets see the mini trucker in you come out.

heh............looks good. LEDs look good when they are the nice ones like Precision Rodware or Hi Tech LEDs that are flush in the body. Like.....shave the tails and mount the LEDs vertically where the stock lights were. Keep it up though.

 

Finally another minitrucker! Thank god. Allready thought about a uni-body drop but damn it aint like my old mazda. bodydropped that in like 1 day...wish the xb's had frames or even subframes like the astro vans, it would be somuch easier! for now setting the kit on the ground will make me happy. as soon as it is paid off though i am thinking a new taco body drop that 22's all around and i will be happy " a frame draggin truck" might just have to get drag blockss for the xb though...lol

 

I am looking for a cheap 98+ taco to go crazy on. Possibly do an air frame who knows. Either a taco or I want to find a super cab chevy dually to bodydrop. Who knows........my xb is going to stay pretty much stock. I had an s10 that got to the point it wasnt a good daily driver. Bags and no a/c and fenderwells gets old over time.

 

i had an old 81 datsun x-tra cab that was like 1/4" off the ground no adjustable suspension at the time, i knew it was time for hydros when i got stuck at a gas station on one of the covers where the tankers fill the gas station pumps, damn i miss those days, to many nice trucks styles to build...i like these..

 

Those pics are from Showfest this year. I was there staying at the Ramada. Some crazy stuff went down this year. That avalanche was at Heat Wave with some flames painted on it. I love that avalanche

 

How do you get in the vehicle!???


















lol just kidding man, I love your ride cant wait till its finished, keep some updated pics.

 

hell yeah man
go ahead and just make this thing sick put some hydros on there ar some really fast airbags you need to be able to hop this it would tight as hell
