Weekend adventures in the Haliburton Highlands... Bent and banged up the the exhaust pipe on a river crossing [emoji22] Not too bothered by it. Will get a pipe expander to get it back to round. Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk

Alright, so took it on it's first real trip today, Canoe, Kayak, BBQ, 3 adults, 2 kids, dog, and gear. Gotta say I'm quite happy with the lift springs. Sure there is a bit more body roll when unloaded, but they handle being loaded down much better. With the roof loads and pack the vehicle...

Had some time today to install the XC70 Lift Springs, the install went quite smoothly without any surprises. Took me 5h including a lunch break along with my 4yo helping fetch parts and 'inspecting' the install [emoji23]. Quite happy with everything so far. Only drove it up to 40mph and it feels...

In preparation for some adventures, I purchased a 235/65R17 Goodyear Wrangler mounted to a spare wheel and roofed it. [emoji41] Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk

Small, but worthwhile upgrade to the AWD. Volvo uses a Haldex Coupling that is electronically controlled by a DEM (Differential Electronic Module). There are quite a few versions of the coupling, but for the 2003 to 2005 Haldex Generation 2 is installed in the XC70. Haldex Generation 3 labeled...

Has it been that long? [emoji16] Well, officially kicked off camping season last weekend with the family at Long Point Provincial Park on Lake Erie. We really enjoy going to Long Point the weekend before the 2-4 as it's not busy and it's a great place for bird watching. Sent from my ZTE...

Very cool [emoji41] What tune and turbo did you go with? The XC90 suspension is not a bolt-on modification. The fronts will work, but the rears are quite different. Would be super cheap to pull from a junkyard to try and work with them, otherwise, the Badswede kit is 100% bolt on and the...

"Adventure Protection" Got under the XC today to check out a few things. Had a rattle that was coming from a loose brake line, retrieved a 13mm I lost months ago, and noticed a bit of oil collecting on the skid plate that looks like it's the turbo oil drain leaking...again [emoji1], just...

The Weekend Warrior

Canoe, family, and adventure in the Kawartha Highlands this past weekend.

Right on! Congratulations on a successful family camping weekend!

Some puddle fun on the cabin run.

Isuzu Vehicross with an interesting paint job.

Thanks! Ha, no, but close! You're thinking of Volan wheels and I really wanted a set instead of the Thor wheels, but I couldn't find a decent set for a good price.

Amazing! Love the set up.

Thanks man! Thanks. Was expecting the water to be much deeper this year from all the rain, but someone filled it in with rocks.

Canoe camping with the family this weekend in the Halliburton Highlands. This is one of our favourite spots to camp as it is not too well known so the sites aren't overused. With a little boat in boat action and the vehicle loaded up we set off. Access to the lake is down a logging road...

Just needs one last coat of clear, getting the canoe ready for next weekend...[emoji57]
