Sup all, new here.. thought I'd post up shots of my rides, 2004 Scion xB Release Series 1.0 (number 0672 of 2100 worldwide), and my 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4x4. Lemme know what ya'll think! All pics are going to be thumbnails, so click for the fullsize :thumpup:
The xB first...
This is the Halloween photoshoot my friend Shane (black xB) and I (orange xB) did to share on ScionLife.com.
Yes, I am one of the people that enjoys car lighting... subtle lighting though, not plastering it everywhere with the tubes showing. All wires and tubes are hidden and fused properly with switches
Hood glow using two pairs of cathodes, one white and one blue - one trans. powering one of each. Blue's under the top cross-support, whites in the fenders
UB consists of VaradULS400 in orange... LED kit, multiple patterns and speeds, and music interface
Gauges that I made... color's a bit off in this shot, the entire background is orange, with the bB a darker orange. And to top it off, the LEDs that light it are orange as well
During the day they're white, night they're orange
Aaaand my third-brake cover
These are from a while back, before the tint and system. Messed around in Photoshop on a couple of them, just for fun
Little editing in Photoshop on this one, but I did take those turns at well over 45
Handles like a dream with the Tanabe's, Hotchkis strutbar, and Cooper Zeon ZPTs (fantastic tire, wet and dry :thumb: )
Info on xB: 2004 Scion xB Release Series 1.0, 0672 of 1200 worldwide. Comes with the 1.5L Toyota Echo motor with an immense 108bhp and gets 30mpg. And yes, it will break 100mph, I've had it to 115 on a FLAT road with zero wind. It handles fantastically, due entirely to the DF210's, Hotchkis, and Cooper's... magnificient combination :thumpup:
Current Mods: Tanabe DF210's / Hotchkis strutbar / 17" TeamDynamics Racing ProRace1 touring cup lightweight rims (12.x pounds each) sheathed in 215/45/17 Cooper Zeon ZPTs / Varad ULS400 UB LED kit / custom interior and underhood lighting (not Scion's optional crap, I put it together myself using computer lighting) / custom orange gauges and domelight by yours truly / TOASTR third brake light (my screename on my import forums,.. unfortunately some little **** stole it AND my cars and posted them on here
:banghead: ) / Pioneer Premiere DEH360 headunit / Pioneer components / P312D2 coupled to an 800w RF amp and Legacy 3.0farad cap (for show purposes only) / Sylvania Silverstar CoolBlues / 20% front, 5% rear tint
Now for the Jeep
1988 Jeep Cherokee 4x4, 4.0L I6 w/ AW4 tranny, NP242 transfer case
Current Mods: 4" Rubicon Express / Rancho 9000x's / Rubicon Express adj. trackbar / Ford 19lb injectors / header > pipe > Borla (no cat) / 3-row 92+ type cooling / steelbraided brakelines / Optima Redtop / Walmart lights on bumper / 31" Xterrains / beauty marks by nature
Quite a bit of fun
More mods are on the way, gonna add a bit more lift by way of ACOS bumpstops up front, which allow you to adjust the lift to your preference. Out back will be a combination of an S10 springpack mixed with the main leaf out of the XJ and the AAL from the lift, mounted to adjustable shackles that can be varied between 1" and 2". That'll allow me to run some 33's, if not 35's with trimming, and a re-gear for the bigger tires. That and some window tint, install the '05 12" Alpine Type-R I've got sitting on my floor, and perhaps somewhere down the road a 4.7L stroker swap :thumb:
That's all for now, positive and negative feedback is welcome. :thumb:
