2010 Scion xB xTruck - Bowls Of Fury
If the wheels look unfamiliar, it's because they're one-off custom creations by ADF. The 20-inch 3-piece billet aluminum wheels are custom-machined and feature an aluminum fluted center cap. The hammered-look of this retro-themed truck is made possible by an Air Lift Company complete digital air ride kit. The adjustable suspension also makes it easier to get the matching Ruckus on and off the xTruck.
With all the metal work and custom bits on the exterior of this Scion, it might act as a distraction from the equally impressive cockpit. To get that old mini-truck feel, the classic bench seat is a must. That shifter isn't going to get awkwardly close to a middle passenger's crouch on its own now is it? The problem with that is modern day automobiles no longer come with bench seats.
"We used the bottom of the stock rear seat and fabricated a top portion to make a bench seat for the cab. Then we rewrapped it with white vinyl and made matching door inserts and white perforated vinyl headliner," Brandon states. "The upper portions of the dash and door panels were painted to replicate how old trucks looked back when everything was metal." They even went as far as to modify an NRG flip-up steering wheel hub to house a Mooneyes white vinyl steering wheel. The finishing touch comes in the form of a hand-blown glass shift knob that also happens to be color-matched to the vehicle.
"It was gnarly to say the least," Brandon says, when asked about his overall thoughts on the build. "All we did was work on the car every single day from the day it was delivered to us. I'm happy with how it all came together but I can honestly say that I don't think I would attempt a project of this magnitude again with such a small time frame and limited budget. It was built for the Scion Tuner Challenge and we took 2nd place overall. I can't really complain, it got an overwhelming amount of good responses at the SEMA show."
