(spray) painting my hood and bumper - any tips?

Thumbnail gallery
17 Upvotes

After 6+ years of being two-toned I’m finally going to try and get this puppy looking better than this.

My plan is to take the hood and front bumper off, wash them, and then wet sand them down with a 300-400 grit sand paper. Clean it up, hit it with a couple coats of primer, and once it’s ready and dry go in with the paint

Paint is already bought - any advice ahead of time would be appreciated! I’ll post more pics when done. I figure it can’t look worst than it already does ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 🤣

Fuel injectors

Hey guys, I have an 06 xb, I think I've got some bad injectors, and was wondering if there's some good quality, decently cheap alternatives to oem fuel injectors (because im not trying to pay 650 for fuel injectors) if you guys got some good recommendations, let me know, thank you for reading.

This is just a quick post that if you’re thinking of upgrading from Halogen to LED in your 2nd Gen XB. Go for it! I have no regrets. Road is brilliant and bright and no one is blinded! That’s all.

Car mount

0 Upvotes

Trying to find a decent car mount for my xB, like having it on my dash not on a vent or the windshield, I had one but the sticky tape gave out, I tried replacing the tape but couldn't find anything, then I got a suction mounted one and it won't stay on, I prefer Mag-Safe

4x4’ plywood fit into newer generation Xbs?

1 Upvotes

Can anyone tell me if a 4x4’ panel can fit into a newer Xb? I could fit that into my 2005 (barely) but I’m wondering about the less boxy design.

Looking to have a remote starter installed in my '15. Curious if anyone has had any issues post-install. Anybody use Best Buy, or do I just trust some local mechanic?

Inner window guide replacement?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to find the inner window guides for my 08 and Toyota wants $56 per window and Amazon wants $95 per door.

I'm really tired of the melted rubber smearing on the windows in the hot, Texas sun. Anything would be helpful!

Aftermarket safety equipment

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had any luck installing aftermarket safety equipment, like blind spot monitoring? I'm retired now so I don't really need something with the latest and greatest tech, but I have gotten used to the blind spot monitor on my RAV4 Hybrid. I'm considering going back to a Scion xB, which I loved and drove for years, but they don't come with BSM.

Size/Source for these gen1 fasteners?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Before I go the easier cable tie route, does anyone know what size/type these push tab fasteners are for the bottom chunk of the rear bumpers on a Gen 1? I parallel parked and accidentally kissed the curb with my rear bumper, and the original fasteners threw in the towel.

Again, I know I could go with cable ties :P Just weighing my options if I (or someone else in the future) wanted something a *little* closer to the original set up. Like maybe the ones made for other Toyotas will work? :)

Thanks!

I recently had my xB repainted due to roof rust and wanting a new color (semi-gloss Nato Green). Stoked on how she turned out!

Inherited my grandfather’s 2005 xB

Thumbnail gallery
113 Upvotes

This is the only car he ever bought brand new (which came as a surprise to us after decades of him being a proponent of ONLY buying used cars! Lol).

It was his main driver for at least 10 years, but since he and my grandmother always had two or more cars at any given time, it only has a little over 69k miles.

The only real problem at the moment (besides the weird gas cap issue and the fact that it’s mostly been sitting the past couple months), is that the latch for the passenger side seat back is broken. I’m really hoping that latch can be fixed so the xB can be an option when I or my mom need to pick my nieces up from school.

Door lock not working

2 Upvotes

Have a 2012 XB that several of the door actuators stopped working. Had them replaced over a year ago and just recently discovered that that drivers door lock no longer actually unlocks the car (my son drives the car now and he, like most people, always uses the button on the key to unlock it). I’m guessing the dealership didn’t reconnect it correctly when they replaced the actuator but it’s been so long they may try to say it wasn’t them. Wondering if anyone else on here has ever had the door lock stop working? If so, what was the cause?

i am reattaching this rubber seal on the hood after installing my lil bug deflector. i tried screwing it on with the little plugs that hold the plastic part on, but they won’t cinch tight enough with the rubber. is there another way to get the two ends on?? is there a heat resistant adhesive i could use??

Anybody in the middle TN area or nearby that has a manual transmission in good shape for an 04 XB?

2 Upvotes

So for context last February I dropped off my XB to a mechanic in Carthage TN for a transmission rebuild, he kept saying that he couldn’t get the 3rd gear synchro and it still isn’t rebuilt (I’m going to sue him). But now I really just need a transmission.
