well, i have the factory pearl white, and i kinda like it, it gives it a smooth "i am not a ricer" look. but i want to consider all my options, all the thousands of them. and if i went pearl white, i wouldn't have to paint/prep the door jams and other areas as much as i would with a different color paint. and while i am doing that i need to get my suspension swap underway, any of you who have had an xt6 know what i am talking about.

sorry didn't mean to sound snobby, just a little bit tired. so before i hit the wall, i will hit the sack

i am pretty sure that all the 3 model years for xt6 are the same tranny if it is full time 4wd, and plus you get a locking diff.

well me and my smart a$$ mechanic brain just said "12 volts, duh" and i doubt it being different.

well, i work with a guy that restores old vehicles, like his 70 plymouth duster or his 72 challenger, but he will help me paint my car, and he does all his own mixing and has good experience >15yrs. and good connections, so i am just trying to decide on a color. if you know the looks of an xt6, you know that red and yellow will be a "give me a ticket" color, and being a hS student, i can't have that. so, black, mabye white(but probably not) or a green. give me some feedback yall. rusty

I am thinking about a deep black paint, but also, i am wondering if it is possible to change the color of the pearlesence. like mabye a small tinge of gold in my deep black? or a deep blue?

i probably need to repaint my xt6 and i was wondering what pearl does, and then i need to decide if i want it when i paint.

I have a 89 xt6, and i just figured out that the timing belt is broken on the drivers side. i am wondering if i should rebuild the engine completely including bore and rods or if i should just rebuild the heads.

How hard is it to change the timing belts on an xt6? did you have to remove the engine? how long did it take, and last but not least, How fast does your xt6 go(with what mods)?
