- This video is made to hurt feelings! The feelings of Jeep owners and my feeling when those jeep owners see this and start talking trash about my Volvo in the comment section.
Amazon links to stuff I bought for this Volvo:

Tema4X4 lift kit: amzn.to/3WU7rtL
Lightbar: amzn.to/3WUkXxK

The thing is with Volvos, when you park your car in a store parking lot, you will find when you return to your car, that there will be another Volvo parked next to you. Possibly two. Sometimes three. It never fails. Volvo owners tend to congregate. When you know, you know.
Rules is rules sir.
Thats true even in Europe!
agree on that!
I think there is a special following for P2s. They're great looking. Well built, safe and impossible to steel. Thank you Sweden.
I just bought a 07 xc70 today!!!!@@jfonestar
In this video, you´re explaining why American cars are so unpopular in the EU. Greetings from a Volvo owner, from Klagenfurt - Austria.
Celovec! 😅
Salesman road-warrior, here. I've had 11 Volvo wagons. XC's and 740's. Bought them all with at least 50K and drove them all to at least 200K. My favorite part? The police don't give a second look at a station wagon. Ever. (Hope I didn't just jinx it 😆😆)
Was thinking of buying a new truck till I went to the dealership. Yikes. So I bought a low mileage 05 xc90 with the 2.5t for $2000 but it needed the pvc components changed and timing belt. Did it all myself and other stuff for about $800. What an awesome vehicle. So glad I went this route. These Volvos are awesome off road
@patrickgagne8795 I'm impressed you did your own timing belt. How long did it take you?
My 2008 XC70, her name is Mulva, got me from snowy Chicago here to The Keys. She's perfect for the beach, I pulled an F150 out in Ormond, gets about 28 mpg and her leather is PRISTINE. almost unbelievable.
Agree with you man! Have 06 and 16 xc70's. I run blizzaks on both and they are absolute tanks in Wisconsin winters. I use the p2 like a more practical pickup truck, and the P3 is my wife's daily. P3 is a smooth road trip machine and we can get 30+ mpg hwy with premium gas in the eco setting.
Keep doing what your doing man, XC70 looks great. 👏👌👍
👏🇸🇪👍
Just brought one. Been wanting one since 98. Dad wagon, I like that.
I started my youtube chanel with that thing. It had broken AWD but i was still using it for overlanding. Great choice, i had so much fun :)
For the short time I owned it I had a ton of fun. I want to do the same thing with a P3 XC70 next.
This video is hilarious. I am a volvo owner that decided to drive it until it can no more. Only 170k miles on it. Thinking about making it an off-roader.
I 100% recommend it! I had so much fun in that wagon! And thanks for checking out the video! 🇸🇪
Amen Brother! You are preaching to the choir. Mine is the OG, a 1998 V70-XC 250k+
VOLVO CARS ARE BY THE BEST Cars & TRUCKS EVER MADE - FACT
you are so crazy maan! great job!!!
I love the old xc70s. I got one with about 450hp spins all 4 lol
That’s insane!!
My daughters had a sticker made that says “dad wagon” for the back of my xc70.
I just got a 2002 v70 xc and love it! Also live in AZ!
I can confidently say once you iron out the main issues that plagued the p2 xc70 it is virtually indestructible I have had 2 of them and the first one saved my life in a near fatal head on collision the other driver sustained multiple fractures and a major concussion and I came out with a broken collar bone, nose and alot of bruises.
One of the main reasons I drive a Volvo! I know it will take a bullet for me if spit hits the fan.
Had the same experience with my old C70 with a frontal crasch.. only my cellphone was broken.. the driver of 26:15 BMW in front of me had major insurrings..
Great video!
Thanks for checking out the video!!!🇸🇪
Hi there, Which YEAR is your XC70?? I am partial to the silver color. (Oops, you said 2004). Then, all of those cool features are STANDARD (the way the traction works, for instance)?? And, how many inches was the lift kit? Did you say what the final clearance of the bottom of the vehicle was?? Thank you for the review!!!
You gotta call it 'Borg', cos I think you've been totally 'Assimilated'. My XC70 cruise control keeps the speed on the button going up or downhill. My Lexus couldn't do that. Best seats on the planet. Get an old Volvo car seat and build the coolest office chair for sitting in the garage with your beer in hand. Jeep? Ugh!! I don't have a jeep but I'm mad about it!! Value your family?? Get a Volvo. They designed the three point retractable seat belt and rather than make squliions from the copyright, made the design available to everyone, gratis. Drive a Volvo. Designed and built for the harshest Scandinavian weather. Maybe get a lift kit too. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 😊
My 04 has 265000 miles and still averages 22.8 mpg.i get 30 mpg at 60 o. The flats. Im in love with these volvos
Another thing about P2 Volvos, they're impossible to steel. Not that I've tried...I just feel better knowing that my S60 is impossible to steel. $300 to program a key. Thank you Swedes.
can I have half an hour of my life back please
I will put my 2005 Subaru Legacy 3.0R outback ahead of the XC
Funny, i just watched a video by a guy who said he worked on these Volvos for years and wouldnt recommend one to anyone on account of the maintenance costs for all the trivial things that go wrong with them. He said they are money pits. Only thing he liked was the engine which he said would run forever provided you change the oil. Go figure? You say its the best thing since sliced bread and the other guy said it's a pretty much junk. He got his for 500$ so for that price figured he could live with it, since he's a mechanic and could fix it himself. I guess on the price you're both in agreement: they can be picked up cheaply.
Looking at a beautiful and well maintained 2006 XC/140,000 miles. I'm trying to find any decent reviews on those and have not had any luck.
Am I opening up Pandora's Box with someone else's problems or is it worth the purchase? Currently needs a new battery as the owner has had it sitting in storage for over 2 yrs. asking price is $2,500.
Its a nice car but not better than a jeep, toyota, or any other truck. Ive been on worse roads with a bone stock 1988 2wd dodge dakota, Yes this particular one didnt have AC but with a purchase price of $300 with a bad fuel pump who cares. In fact I just bought a FWD minivan to use for those exact roads because getting 8-10 mpg while tooling around in a 4wd dodge durango in 2wd just kinda sucks.The minivan does in fact have functional AC/heater, and all that. I put some 235/75/15 mud tires on it and it was an absolute tank in the snow we just got, had no problems pushing snow with the headlights..
HOw much of a lift is on it? I see mostly a 1.1" lift....that's not much, and it looks like yours is higher. thanks
great rant
Do a video on Steel pass in Death Valley with that thing.
is it an 04 ? in that case, it's haldex 2

My Mulva is a 2008. 130,000 miles. My power steering line is leaking, and it needs a lift to access, but otherwise she's pristine. I get better than 17mpg, more like 22-25 (3.2Turbo). It's hard to overstate how fresh & smooth she is. Make sure it has nothing major & you've got a sophisticated tank.
Wow Man ,Your Really Rocking !! , Love the Volvo ,I own one too . So lets all hope you quit the Rabbit ,and drive the Volvo off Road ,Way to Go Dinlow . Great Car Be Proud Dude You have more Rabbit than Sainsbury
where did you find the broken car? I'd love to have an xc 70 but they are all 3.5k+ working idk where to find broken ones...junkyards or something?
I spend what most people would consider way to much time looking on marketplace apps looking at Volvos 😂 I found this one of Facebook with a bad turbo. Local public auto auctions sometimes have good deals that pop up as well.
This and the first Audi Allroad are probably the best cheap offroad vehicles a person can get. Great video mate!
PS. Its a shame you never got to experience the 2.4 D5 engine. It really suits the XC70 the best.
We never got the D5 in North America
Great cars. Which lift kit did you use?
yes please wanna find it if it that cheap
I found a used cross country performance signature lift but Tema4x4 sells a similar lift for a lot cheaper if you want to save some bucks.
Very interesting.
Well I can go on the same dirt roads from the video with my S80 with front wheel drive only and it won't even spin couse is pretty flat road no hills no mud no snow you can do it even with a Peugeot 206
Where did the lift lit come from, I'm trying to find one for 2006 v70?
Cross Country Performance. I got lucky and found a used kit but they still sell new kits on their website.
I have a S60 that I want to lift. I don’t know which way to do it, suggestions are welcome.
Sounds like an awesome project. I’d recommend looking into strut mount spacers. The kit I bought for this XC70 was the Cross Country Performances 2in signature lift kit but there are cheaper kits on Amazon and eBay. I know anything higher than a 2inch lift is recommended that you buy subframe spacers and swap the cv axles with xc90 cv axles. They are direct swap onto a xc70 but I’m not sure about a s60. But good luck with the project! If you send me a messaged on Instagram I can send you the IG page of a guy who lifted his s60. He might be about to give you some insight.
jeeps are nice but volvo seats best in bizz and alot of room ,,its starts -50 in canada eh ,
Super cool
It’s a pretty fun rug!
Hai I have a question which tyres have you put on? Hope to hear from you Greetings ivo
225/70R16 cheap eBay tires called Comforser CF1100 A/T
Thx for your reply.
Just found ths channel and don't know what other videos there are, but I don't want to stop watching this episode, so excuse me if you already have videos about them, but our police in Sweden recently updated their cop cars to new awesome volvos, and the videos are really nice when they do walk around and show the interrior and all the add ons that are installed by volvo custom made stuff to beef up the cars. about 1000lbs of extra add ons, brakes, suspensions and so on.. Perhaps something like this might be interesting for you guys here. I don''t know I'm just asking because they are in Swedish so they might not be a good fit, but if of any interest let me know and I'll look em up and link them.
EDIT: ok I just looked through the channel know and realised this might be more about the nostalgic models which I love too..
Buenas
soy de España y tengo el mismo el tuyo es Gasolina o Diesel?
Acá son de gasolina
What brand and size tires are you running on this magnificent machine?
My 2002 xc70 is my prised possession
My Off-road Soccer Van (Pilot) would destroy you... JK I like what you did here! I am all for the unconventional off-roader. Life is more interesting when you don't know if you are going to make it.
How reliable are the xc70 with the 3.0 engine?
The 3L is pretty dependable it’s not uncommon to see them in the 200k miles range running great. They have their problems but they are well documented online and can all be fixed with a little preventative maintenance.
Awesome thanks they looks so awesome can’t wait to get me one
Did you install xc90 axles?
Not on this one. From what I’ve read the xc90 axles are only needed when you go above a 3in lift. This xc70 only had a 2in lift
@@volvoenthusiastsgroup3386 oh word. Can I ask where you get your info? I use SwedeSpeed right now but I'm always seeking
B B B... BAD to the BONE...!!
You're really over selling it lol. And this is coming from a volvo owner.
JEEP, is a dirty 4-letter word.
Volvo... the Swedish Mercedes. lol
I have a jeep renegade that can keep up with that thing haha. Also my JK on 35's gets 20mpg when going about 75mph.
tell you what bud, nice video but you will be hung up on the first trail we hit if you follow my 76 jeep cj5
At least I’ll be stuck in a comfortable climate controlled environment.
@@volvoenthusiastsgroup3386 😂 trueeeeeeee!
Its aJeep thing, you wouldnt understand. And thier right! I don't!
Meh... Subaru and Audi have MUCH better AWD systems... except Audis with Haldex AWD... we all know that's not real AWD!!!
My bone stock 95 Legacy (not the one in my pfp, that’s my 03) was passing stuck lifted trucks and jeeps through thick mud even with open front/rear diffs, a blown center diff, no clutch and bald tires. And I’ve had to use the 03 several times to pull out 4x4s from snow that it walks through with ease. Team Subie 50;50 all the way for me!
@25:04 So you basically admit to try to troll Jeep people. Your Vulva sucks and my Jeep is so much better that is reflected by the price. BTW. I don't own a Jeep. 😂
Please just clip the mic to the brim of your hat.
First words: "so hey guys"
*NOPE. 'bye*
Cheap ? In Poland not wornout , 15-20 years , goes around 6-7 k$ ...
