xB offroad

has anyone noticed the resemblence between the body style of an xB and a Jeep Wrangler? i think a scion with some gold daytons on some huge mudders might look pretty dank. does anyone have any information on a lift kit for an Xb?

Everyone has their own style. That is whats great about the xB.

As for monster tires, etc. I don't think so.
However as for making it more SUV-like read this thread:

To me they resemble the older Isuzu Troopers.

Sure, you could turn big mudders, I guess. Just call Toyota up and tell them you need a 6.11 final drive! LOL

I wouldn' t mind if TRD would put out a "rally suspension" package for the xB like Nissan did for the early 510. Give the car about 2 inches of lift. Nissan got a lot of marketing bang for the buck out of the 510, which was the rally privateers' choice for many years due to Nissan's making the good parts available.

Will they do it? Probably not, since the primary focus of TRD seems to be stickers, not performance.
