I dont own a xb yet, but Im lookin to trade in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
V8 4.7L with 3" exhuast for a black or white 2005 or 2006 w/manual tranny. Ive just got a question about winter time. How well do these little xb's do in the winter time? I use to own around 3 neons. I either traded them in or sold them. and they did good in the snow. Also are they easy to work on, engine mods, tune ups, engine tear down (if needed to be, but I hope i wont have to) Im use to the 4cly 2.0 engine in neons.

Thanks for your time,
J,j.

I can't answer from experience since I live in So Cal but I have read posts on here and other sites that the Box's do well in the snow. It's a good idea to take off any aftermarket rims and put the steelies back on though. As far as mods and repairs, easy as pie to work on these beauties. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be happy with a Box.

Thanks, Ive got some almost brand new Blizak snow tires from the neons. They are 14" tires. What size of wheels are on the xb. Im lookin at buying a base model, I'll mod it on my own

yeah these things are cake to take apart. All you need is a set of screwdrivers and a 10mm socket pretty much

umm problems?

I have a 06 here, along with an Injen short ram intake.

FYI, the Charcoal filter is for emissions in states such as california. Nothing else.

I dont have emissions in Wyoming. So if I get a 06 I'll be fine?? Yes I plan on getting a CAI ASAP when I get my XB.

I just traded in my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2 months ago. I like my like my 06 xB but I miss my Jeep (not when I go to the gas station though). Not sure how they do in the snow. We won't get any here until December at least.

By the way, does anyone known how to remove the shifter on an automatic and/or the handle for the emergency brake?

No problems whatsoever.

Found a 2005 XB with the performance exhuast that comes has a option. The sales men said its got a greenish color tint to it. The pic i saw looked like a graphite color. its got 16,000 milage. they are asking 16,000$ is it worth it or should I try and talk them down? Its a 5spd manual.

[hayalex6]

Ouch, $16k is alot of money for one. I'd say buy brand new, mine cost me $15k on the dot.

This is the one I called on the other day. The guy told me it had the factory performance exhuast. Does the pics look like its a factory performance one?? It doesnt look like it to me. It sticks way to far out.

i live in the snow belt here in ohio....and in the winter time i had a rental xB just to see if it could hold up where i lived before i bought one. and it DID! i love it in the snow, it handles really good and i can stop a few feet later after sliding for only a few foot....it basically "catches" it's self, but yes it's awesome on ice and in the snow...just leave the stock wheels on it and you'll be fine.

 

[release_xb]

I live outside of Buffalo and it is great in snow. The 16000 price is very high for an 05. I paid $15900 for the rs2 with rims. 1LOWxb why are you selling, Looks like 1ST place in july again.
