Rad. Will do. Im over that way often enough. Used to live in Copake, NY on the western edge of the Berkshires I don't have my lights anymore either. Broke them in a crash. [emoji85][emoji16] Enjoy building the wagon! These things are surprisingly capable... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks man! Ask away, I'm happy to share anything I've learned. Also check out the 2001-2007 XC70 subforum over on Swedespeed. I post under the same name there, and there's tons of helpful folks way more knowledgable than I. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My vehicle of choice is a 2004 Volvo XC70 2.5T AWD Wagon with a gross vehicle weight of 3,827lbs. Yup, these things are tanks. With BFG KO2s in 225/70r16 (about 2 sizes up from stock), 2" Bad Swede lift kit, and a Yakima Loadwarrior roof basket with extension, I net between 19-21MPG combined on...

Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not yet sure how Volvo's decision to embrace an all-Drive-e power plant lineup will play out either. I do suspect though, that there are a lot of folks who simply won't notice or care! My mother is actually a perfect example. She currently drives a '12...

PART II So what about Volvo's new power plant???? Well............. There seem to be two camps on this. And after driving it for 30 minutes I think I land firmly in the camp that wishes Volvo had not gone all in on the 4s so soon. Now before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm not calling it a...

So this is a total derail, but I figured since no-less than 4 posters have brought up Volvo's 2017 V90 Cross Country in this thread, I would x-post my first impressions of said wagon from Swedespeed here in this thread. NON-OVERLAND CONTENT AHEAD [emoji16]...

Ha! Awesome. I'm actually sort of planning a Volvo meet out that way with a few friends around Carlisle. Specifically trying to go check out bald eagle. Might have to pick your brain a bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ran these on my XC for a while and really highly recommend them. They have the best road manners I've seen for a very capable and somewhat aggressive looking AT tire. The MPG hit was pretty Minimal too. The main drawback for My purposes is winter performance, but given the OP's location I...

Thanks man! Still pretty ambivalent on the new guys. It's grown on me for sure though. Certainly one pretty looking lifted wagon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really not a fan of Hyundai, but I gotta say I'm kinda feeling this! Reminds me in concept (not looks) of the SEMA build Volvo did for the XC70 years ago that is--in part--the basis for my build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too! Love the cold, quiet solitude of it all. Me and the XC can't get enough of it. To keep the thread moving, here's a handful of selections from recent winter outings: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lemme know! I have 2 kids under 4 and 2 jobs so my time is sadly somewhat limited, but im always game to show fellow offroad wagon folks around up here in the Hudson Valley. What we've got trail wise is somewhat limited, but as you can see, I try and make the best of it. I remember stumbling...

Took the wagon out for a great little snow run exploring some new side spur trails in Huntersfield State Forest yesterday. Was about 6-8" of powder with a crust of freezing rain. I fucking love driving this thing in the snow, it generally performs really well That being said, we met our...
