Great car/ small SUV, but I wouldn't do much more than add wheels and suspension.

Lower case mods are moderators. I'm sure he doesn't want hobiekopek riding with him all the time.

There is a 08 xb with a rumored Tundra v8 in it, with twin turbo and I also heard it was RWD

Mod it like in Tokyo Drift F&F, but make the paint scheme so bright you need sunglasses to look at it.

Or I would just add speakers, rims, and some tv's. I've seen one around my town and it's a pimp car for cruisin. No need to drive fast. I'd drive slow so people can see you ridin on them twenty-fo's.

I love those things. A drop and wheels goes a LONG way on XB's.

As for the twin turbo one. Holy crap. 500hp shoebox ftw!

I personally don't like the 08 xB. It gained 700+ lbs over the earlier iteration... And wayyyy worse mileage. Bigger engine + more weight. Better safety, though. That's a good thing.

I think I like the design of the original xB's better as well. The 08's still look cool though. I'd drive one.

I still want an original xB for my business. The perfect car to sticker up. The new one however looks pretty good, and I wouldn't put any stickers on it.

I say if you like it then do what you want with it. Don't do something because of what other people think otherwise you wont ever be content. BUUUUUUUTTTT, if you choose to listen to me.... I wouldn't do anything to it but sell it... lol sorry not trying to be mean I just don't like boxcars
