Just noticed this thread. Subbed [emoji106] Enjoy the XC70!

Snow Fun! The Toyo Open Country ATII feel very passable for winter driving. Was able to get a feel for them in a wintery mix ranging from freezing rain to fresh powder, snow covered back roads and unmaintained access road. They feel very confident and maintain predictable handling on road and...

We have contact. The new tires are a real head-turner... [emoji1787]. rrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRR. In a straight line they clear, but any turning past 3/4 to lock will rub like mad, so I got to work. With a bit of heat gun treatment, some trimming, and strategic placement of rivets was...

Mounted! 235/65R17 Toyo Open Country ATII Just drove it back from the shop. The look and feel great. Getting a but more rubbing upfront due to the fresh treads, but should be a simple fix.

The wheels are from an XC90 and need hub centric rings to fit the XC70 hub, otherwise the 17" wheel itself fits fine. Issues is fitting the 235/65R17 tire which is 29 x 9.3. More information in the link below, but the only real issue with fit is the lower front section of the rear wheel well...

Got some new boots today. Toyo Open Country ATII 235/65R17 Going to wait a bit to install them. I couldn't pass up a deal for $190 off [emoji16]

Here we are at 3 years and about 40k mi. Not quite at the wear bar, but close enough that I don't feel confident going into winter with these. Looking at set of Toyo Open Country AT2 in 235/65R17 104H While not a 3PSF tire, they get good reviews for winter driving, treadwear, and off road...

Thanks. I only creep Reddit, not active. Do have Instagram Antherzoll.

Yakima Loadwarrior: 2x Extension, 2x the fun. I've been running the Loadwarrior basket with 1x extension for a few years and it has served me well, but bigger is always better [emoji16]. The Volvo roof offers quite a bit of real estate to accommodate an additional extension to the Loadwarrior...

Took care of this just today... finally, FINALLY! installed the front end XC90 bits that I've been hoarding. Just to recap. What we have here: - Modified XC90 L&R Control Arms - 2.5T XC90 L&R Axles - 2.5T XC90 L&R Spindles c/w Hubs and balljoints. What's been done and required to complete...

Hiya everyone. Haven't checked in here in a while. It's been a busy winter between work and a new born, but man am I glad it's finally spring! Here's a little update: With the nice weather I finally got a chance to install the rear spacers I fabricated out of a 16mm thick aluminum sheet...

Some light adventuring today exploring/fishing a low reservoir.

Front and Rear subframe spacers Got hooked up from my brother, gave him all of the dimensions and he fabbed me up a set. Could be done with less material, and I had to increase the ID of 2 spacers because of the subframe locating pins. They are 5/8 16mm thick. I was only able to install them...

Good luck. I've replaced the collar sleeve, angle gear seals, AOC pump, AOC pressure/temp sensor, and the DEM all myself and all to keep the AWD operating... I often say, I wouldn't own a Volvo if I had to pay someone to service it.

Hey! Only thing I had to do to fit the 235/65R17 is removed the rear wheel liners, hammered the pinch weld at the rear door, installed the liner, then formed it with a heat gun. YMMV The rack will tax MPG by 1 to 2 points depending on speed. Not the greatest, but is expected. I drive around...

2018 East Coast Road Trip Only a short one this year, 10days and 2800mi. Went out to visit family and stay in a few park along the way. Trailer loaded up, tank topped, kids fed we took off Saturday morning at 5am for Parc provincial Les Jardins de la République in New Brunswick. A 10h30m...

Pinery Provincial Park! Towing in a headwind [emoji33] Tire rubbing on the sway bar at full lock. Passenger's side CV is throwing some grease, but the joint feels ok... I have a spare Volvo axle I may swap in. Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk
