Sorry if this has been covered but I'm new to this side of the forum...
Has anyone in the history of SL gone for a more all terrain look on thier xB? Pics?

 

not mine, just a pic i found

 

go to your local scion dealer and pic up the new book their is one in their from sema lasy yeat that was lifted

the pic above i think is photochopped

 

ive seen several pictures of that one above and i think its real...The other pictures were quite convincing.

 

Here's what you do :
Win the lottery, then get an older Toyota pickup (103" wheelbase) and the body of an xB (98" wheelbase) then add lots of skill, ingenuity and heaps of your new found wealth to get the results in the picture above.

 

....question? Would the box even be able to push those tires with our massive HP and torque....

 

could be, but doubtful. whenever in doubt, look for where the light comes from. seems to addup there. at work, im a graphic designer, i have to fake lightsources all the time for adding an image in another image, and it can be a real pain if there already is a light source from the wrong angle on the image.

 

that pics a fake, ive seen it befor and i heard that it is a jeep with the xb photoshopped on top, if it were real dont you think that we would have seen more pics and it at shows, you know someone would be pround that they did that and you would see it everywhere

 

plus the shadow doesnt match up

 

i showed this same pic to my local dealer and he said it was not posible, the xb engine could never push thease tires. the pic just doesn't seem right to me anyway!

 

Your dealer is a retard. The original Suzuki Sidekick only had 80hp, and even later versions didn't get all that much more than that. It's all in the gearing...who knows what axles that xB would have under it - could be 6.72's for all you know (what a deuce and a half gets stock).

One of the most popular motors for building rock crawling buggies is the Toyota 22R and 22RE - 96hp and 105hp respectively. Durability matters a lot more than power spinning tires like that, as long as you have the gearing to your advantage.

1986 Suzuki Samurai had 60hp from a carbureted 1.3.

 

I've seen a pic of a similar one at car shows. it's got Pioneer splashed all over the side of it.
I think if you were to build one it'd need a donor running gear from say a zuk samurai or a whacked jeep.

 

Impossible, no.

 

nothing is impossible, just not practical, but that other pic is a fake, anyone notice where the engine is on that thing? look at the front tire, see it back there you could open the hood and crawl in to work on it

 

your kidding me right?

 

nope, you can see the crank pulley and everything

 

 

These last two pix are real. The first pic is fake. We have been over this on this site 100 times.

The first one is photoshopped onto a Jeep chassis.

The second one was at SEMA and it total crap. The motor is dropped down, and it is still FWD. Essentially it is one big, crappy body lift. (I hate the Scion "Art Cars.")

The last one is privately owned, but built for Pioneer. It is used in sound competitions. The xB body was mounted on top of an old Bronco chassis. That car also runs a 289 V8 that was equipped with open headers last I heard.

 

i have actually talked to the gy that owns the piuneer andif im not mistaken he said he hit 181 db with it

 

who cares about the db's I want to know if he can jump that bad boy!!!
