#8 of 67 Re: Bed spray [aatherton] by micweb May 07, 2006 (7:39 am)
Replying to: aatherton (May 05, 2006 4:37 pm) Where did you get the rear sway bar?   On a 2003 Echo, I swapped out the stock struts/shocks for Sensatracs - to firm up the ride (the Echo was too wallowy!).   (The Sensatracs are made by Monroe's European subsidiary and the valving is firm to satisfy European tastes - apparently on your xB the extra firmness is offset by the extra xB weight and gives you just the ride you want! That's a great user tip, by the way.) Replies to this message: aatherton (May 12, 2006 8:25 am)

Replying to: micweb (May 07, 2006 7:39 am) I picked a TRD sway bar because it was said to be the most flexible (or least rigid), and was also the cheapest at $155 including shipping when ordered from Sparks Toyota at http://trdsparks.com/index.php.

Replying to: aatherton (May 05, 2006 4:37 pm) "... I wish I could see what your xB looks like with the lower part sprayed, because I also have a TCM silver one and might want to do it..."   No answer there, so I took some photos of my xB and used Photoshop to change the skirts and lips to black. Looked pretty good, so I took the car to the Line-X shop that did my truck bedliner, and had them spray the skirts and lips: http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f280/vintagefortytwo/Scion%20xB/

#12 of 67 Lighting by scionxbboi3 Jun 29, 2006 (5:28 pm)
Hey people, I got my xB about two weeks ago. The more I look at it while driving at night, the more I want to change the lights behind my big round gauge, as well as behind the center switches under the radio, and the radio buttons on my steering wheel. I would like a little more uniform lighting inside. Has anyone done this? Please guide me.

#15 of 67 Bike racks? by stevengordon Sep 17, 2004 (10:54 am)
There seems to be a lot of plastic hanging off the back of the bumper. Is it possible to mount a hitch receiver back there, on the frame, so you could put a hitch-mounted bike rack on the back?   Then again, I don't know about opening the rear hatch upwards with a hitch-mounted rack and bikes in place. Any comments?
#16 of 67 re: Bike Racks by rob999 Sep 17, 2004 (10:59 am)
For a cars with a rear hatch where you want a rear bike mount, consider spending a bit more $ and get a rear rack with a pantograph action or one that swings away to the side. Otherwise, using the hatch with the racks on is a no-go. Replies to this message: stevengordon (Sep 19, 2004 10:02 am) aatherton (Aug 26, 2006 4:43 pm)

Replying to: rob999 (Sep 17, 2004 10:59 am) Can you be more specific about the pantograph-type rack and about the kind of rack that swings to the side?   Are these hitch-mounted?   Can you suggest a couple manufacturers who offer these kinds of racks?   TIA Replies to this message: aatherton (Aug 26, 2006 4:43 pm)
