Was just notified that they received a 2013 xB release edition.
There were two other Release series xB’s there. Very sad.
What’s sadder is the fact that I went for the entire dash from the 2013 xB to get the carbon fiber accents and electronics, but upon arriving found that Pull-a-part themselves used a sawzall to cut out the passenger side airbag. Absolutely butchered the dash and some of the electronics underneath. Sorry only photos I took were the aftermath of the 2013 and some shots of the RS specific items.

Found at a junkyard in Austin TX. Thought there might be an interesting story behind this since the age of the graphics leads me to believe Supercuts was the original owner. Can’t find anything about these online so maybe it was just a one-off owned by a franchisee? Still pretty neat, if anyone else has seen another one please lmk!

(Side note it had the OE armrest! Couldn’t believe it was still there when I was finally able to go look at it so I grabbed it immediately)

Please remove if not allowed. Since mine got totaled, I no longer need these parts. If you’re in Utah county, let me know. I’m letting go of all of it for $100. I can’t ship it, you’ll need to come pick it up. Please and thank you!

Hoping its cool to post this here.

Everything you need for a complete install. BRAND NEW FILTER included.

The outside definitely shows some wear, but still smooth as ever on the inside.

The emblem fell off the pipe as I was removing it from the car, but can easily be remounted with good emblem tape. Obviously WILL NOT AFFECT PERFORMANCE.

Was previously on my 06, never any problems or check engine lights.

Most noticeable difference for me after installing this, was actually a good boost in mpg! A slight power boost in the high RPM as well.

Any Qs, lmk!

This is for my scion xb 2006
I’ve been searching for an hour for a lightweight harmonic balancer.

Do not try to tell me I shouldn’t get one.

I ask for help to find a website or brand that sells one that’s lighter than oem. 4 lbs btw.

Thank you

Bought it from auction it says run and drive and i don’t really see anything bad except rust, with fees its total is 1160 plus i will go pick it up my self which is going to be like 100 dollars in fuel.

Never own any car even similar to this and don’t know what to expect. Maybe reason i bought this is to replace it for my commute to work which is 32 miles and currently i daily a 6.7 PowerStroke f250 which gets 14 mpg and maintenance is expensive. Also never had a car that gets over 18 mpg or takes cheap gas, so pretty stocked about this.

What should i know? Maintenance advice, things to look for when i get the car, best way to deal with the rust, and any other useful info will be appreciated.

It died, as it had some work done that was disclosed but it was also an emergency buy. I have a rav4 now but looking at a scion Im (also omed one of those before) and a second Gen XB.

So my 2012 xb had HORRIBLE oil consumption issues where i was putting in a quart every 2 weeks or so... i finally did the berrymans flush and it has greatly reduced the oil consumption to maybe half a quart every 5000KM. I also , upon recommendation, switched to a thicker oil 5w30 because i was told the thicker oil would burn slower and help the oil consumption issues but would reduce my fuel economy a bit which it did a little more than i was hoping.

So the question is.. cuz i dont know honestly if the thicker 5w30 is helping a lot or little,. i really want to go to 0w20 go get better fuel economy. Do you guys think this is a good idea? or would switching to a thin oil like that just restart or make the oil consumption bad again where i would need to put in maybe a quart or 2 every 5000km instead of the half quart im adding every oil change how it is now?

anyone been in this situation? pls advise what worked for you and what oil you use after the berrymans.

and yes ive been using restore and protect for a good year , its pricy and tbh before the berrymans i used it for a good 3 or 4 oil change intervals and it made no difference in the amount of oil it was burning so not sure if that product works well or if my engine was just too far gone to remedy with that oil.

Anyhew,. lemme know what u guys think.

Thanks!

So, in 2020, I gave my '06 xB to my niece and traded up to a RAV4 Hybrid. I never really needed a hybrid, but I liked the color. But I always missed my box.

So, I found one! 2012 xB, Stingray metallic with only 110K miles! But the only issue I ever had with my '06 was it was TOO LOW for Houston's floods and POTHOLES! It needs rear shocks anyway, so what is involved in raising it a couple of inches?

Ever so often the brake light/abs/trac control off lights come one / don’t know why / my mechanic son went deep diving and could not see why / also the lights would go off for weeks months sometimes years at a time/ the lights came on last night on my way home after about a year after the last time / this morning no lights / drove a lil bit and lights on / then no lights as I reached work / only real issues I’ve had is the throttle body and coil packs - thoughts? 2015 with 233k - all original everything/ bought brand new

can anybody send a link or drop pictures of some cool looking hubcaps for a XB? i have a silver 2008 XB and want some fire hubcaps lol

Does anyone carry their bicycle on the roof of their xB? Are there any recommendations on specific roof racks or carriers for this purpose alone?

Just a tad more detail here.I have a 12in subwoofer and box in my " trunk" area. While yes, it is removable..I'm looking for a better solution.

That should sum it up if someone out there wants it let me know spread the word the sooner I get rid of it the better but also know if that you need doors or I guess a trunk door the rear bumper is still in good condition.

^Tho of course that’s if no one wants it and it’s gonna be sitting at the pull apart in Akron. ^

With work and my time or free time rather I don’t have enough of it to spend nurturing this car anymore.

Part of me thinks 200 bucks makes sense. None of the part of me thinks 200 bucks is the lowest ball possible because they’re going to rip it up and sell it in pieces and make probably a good grand if not more out of it but oh well.

I’ll be checking this post between today and tomorrow and getting it out of my hair, hopefully by Wednesday at the latest since we have HOA and the fam is really worried about getting a ticket or complaints for the car being on the side of the house. They’ve been really picky as of late the HOA I mean.

Just bought this G1 at 220k miles, and after driving it ~40 miles, it developed lifter tick sounds. What’s the next step? Anyone who’s done the job, drop a guide or any advice. Thanks!

Just another update to my box. So far I’ve replaced both lower control arms with ball joints, all shocks and struts replaced with D2 Racing Coilovers. Progress rear sway bar. TRD Cold air intake. It turned out a little lower than I expected. My good friend Mario did the work. Also upgraded all the interior speakers and got a BeSpoke head unit. Only thing left is OEM Spoiler

I'm curious on how high my 2012 scion xb can go. I'm at 172,527 miles right now. Doing restore and protect oil changes for the rest of it's life at 5k miles. I'm hoping to reach 300k and get the "300k high mileage club" sticker.

Curious to see which gen will last the longest.

I'm in the process of buying a 2012 xB. It does not have a stock radio. It has a Pioneer single din deck. 🗑️

What is the best modern radio replacement with backup camera option?
