i just bought an 06 xb with 1100 miles on it. its the maroon color with an automatic. i wanted a stick but it seemed better to buy the used one. it was certified and came with a bumper to bumper 7 year 100,000 mile warrenty. thats longer than the new warrenty if im not mistaken and it was $500 more than a new one. i think it was worth it. its basically brand new. i just have to say that this thing is pretty cool. i have been eyeing them for a while but when the guy ran the stop sign last week and totaled my 04 ranger i had no other choice but to give it a try. i got it home and the wife said its so ugly yet she drove it to work. any help with mods and upgrades or just general info to the xb would be great. thanks in advance and ill be talking to you all.
just got an Xb and its bad a$$!!!

Same seems to happen here, just bought my 06.5 salsa red last week and after my wife drove it for a day she is already looking on ebay for a used one ... ... saddlesore, were did you get the chrome piece for your stock wheels? I took my ugly covers off as well but will have to wait for a couple of months for 15" aftermarket wheels and would like to do something for the meantime - thanks

I let my dad drive my xB and then I moved so he couldn't drive it anymore. LOL. Then he came back and drove it again and decided to get his own. Now there's two Toasters in the driveway. BTW, Welcome to clubxB. Congrats on the new Toaster.
i used to work at a body shop for like 5 years so what ever she does to it im pretty sure i could handle it. i also picked some goodies let me know what you think. Stillen axle back, OBX 4-2-1 header, and a Fujitu short intake. not here yet but cant wait to get here and get them on.
i was wondering if they were worth the money. i know i had an underdrive kit on a couple of my mustangs and they do make a hell of difference but they were a kit of 3 pulleys as opposed to one. ill look into it. i have not got under the hood yet. is it easy to get to? im sure the install wont be much.

The center cap or cup is found at NAPA parts stores.
this is Balcamp catalog part number #730-2411
will run about $10 to $12 for 2 boxes ( 2 per box)
these are a shiny metal that can be polished or scored and painted.. they just go on with a good whack using a soft mallet
my next project is getting my steelies powder coated to match the car's paint.. about $50 per wheel
hope this helps.
