- The first Volvo XC70 on 32's finally gets its first drive around the neighborhood. We Clearance fenders, radius body panels, add an automatic transmission cooler, remove the muffler, and MUCH more during this episode. All ending with a couple of miles added to the odometer.
Thanks to all the sponsors who have helped to make this project possible!

This channel is going to blow up. Your production and editing is on point. Seriously, congratulations in advance.
Hey Adam, thanks a lot! That really means a lot to me. It's really cool to see people get psyched about these projects, since I was going to do them anyway and decided to film them and pick up a new aspect of the hobby (film production). Hope you enjoy the future videos as well, and thanks for watching!
Seconded!
Gauge looks awesome, very clean. I had a 92 Saab 9000 that a boost gauge fit really nice where the stock clock was. I love clean subtle mods like that.
Thanks! It was a bit tedious getting the vents to line up somewhat, but it was SUPER useful when we got the car out on the trail!
I'm a simple man, I see Office jokes, I like video.
Noted. I will keep the pop culture references and memes flowing haha. Thanks for watching bud!
It's been over a month, Get us an update! 3 subs left until 1k!
Thanks to you and a few other YTers running XC70s for offroad, I've decided that my next major purchase will be a screw around XC70 with a ton of random mods. We have a S80 3.2 (mine) and XC90 V8 (wifes) and I really need to get something for amusement. First I need to replace her angle gear, then she'll probably get the latest gen XC90 in a year or two and I'll mess with the old one then. My S80 is likely going to go to my oldest daughter and I'll grab a S90 or V90CC when the time comes, or a V70R or S60R for shits and giggles. Content like yours gives me hope for doing something out of the ordinary with Volvos that not many people or places can or will do. Keep it coming!
Hey John, thanks for the words of encouragement! I am glad you're inspired (at least entertained) by my videos! I know it's been slow, and that's due to the rear suspension which is proving to be a bit trickier than expected, plus the holidays being very crazy. I will have a new XC500R video in the next few weeks. But first, there will be ANOTHER new project, and that one will 100% peak your interests... Thanks for watching! And let me know what you think of the new project once it's posted!
I can’t wait to see this build progress
You and me both! The "cold" weather and shorter days will definitely force me to get creative on future episodes, but we'll get it done! Thanks for watching!!
I was probably just as excited as you were for the maiden ride. Great configuration. Looking forward to the next steps
Hah, glad to hear you're digging the videos! Hope you like what comes next... :)
Looking amazing! Can't wait for the finished product
Thanks! Me neither :)
Very cool......
I live in Sweden 🇸🇪 so I’m going to build my own xc70...
I had a couple of jeep Zj: an Xj’s on 35” so the sledge and grinder is used before ....
Excellent! I am glad you're enjoying the content and want to build your own XC70!! Thanks for watching!
Love the video on how you made the XC70 so awesome ,I always had that feeling of XC70 having that off road look and in my opinion is Volvo off road capable vehicle
Thanks a lot! I felt the same way, and decided to go for it on this project. There's PLENTY left to do, and the car will be absolutely awesome when complete. Thanks for watching!!
Love the videos they are so in-depth. It's really helping me wrap my head around what I'm about to do. Just ordered my badsweed springs the other day. My journey begins soon. I might have to video it as well.
Awesome! I am glad you're enjoying the videos, and being helped out on your journey! It's a ton of fun, and I can't wait to get it on the trails!
Super sweet
Thanks!!
What an awesome project!
Thanks bud! Glad you enjoy the content!!
Just a tip for future videos, the music segments are way too loud compared to your voice segments.
The audio is the next aspect of Premiere Pro I am going to learn about. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!!
Love to see your videos
Thanks for watching! I put a lot of thought, time, and effort into them, so it's nice to hear they are being enjoyed by others!
@@BBBonYT can we talk in private I have some questions hope you have time for me
Great work!! That's an achievement! ;)
Thanks a lot! This project is proving to be pretty challenging, but very rewarding! Can't wait to get it buttoned up and on the dirt trails!
@@BBBonYT greatness! Can't wait to see more! Keep it up bro!
@@BBBonYT We shall be following!! Seen any of my vids about the 242?
Giving me some cool ideas for my XC70. I agree with the other guys comment, your music and editing skills are dope!
Thanks for the feedback! I hope this project inspires some other owners to do some cool stuff with their cars. I love seeing unique builds like these! Thanks for watching!!
This thing looks awesome! Love the progress. I watch the first couple of videos, but then fell behind so I caught up tonight. As far as the grill, I say leave it bare metal but definitely put the Volvo logo back on.
Watching this definitely makes me want to do something with mine, the poor thing is just sitting there in the street, and the list of issues is growing longer.
Glad you like it! I am pretty happy with the progress, but it's definitely far from complete. I am putting the grill and bumper back together in the next episode, so you'll see the final result. I highly encourage you to do something fun with the car, it's a solid platform and a great reliable car! Thanks for watching.
Great creativity and skills
Thanks! I wanted to do something a bit different, and do the majority of it myself. I think it's going well so far. Thanks for watching!
Excelente trabajo 👌 ánimo, espero el próximo video con la terminación.
¡Gracias por las lindas palabras y por ver mis videos!
Thats great ! i want mine the same. Great skill set and patience.
Awesome! If you follow along, episode-by-episode, it shouldn't be too difficult to get your car like this one. Thanks for watching!
Awesome project! I hope you're going to upgrade the brakes at one point so it can stop properly......
Ohhhh....I have some ideas for that already :)
Thanks for watching
Keep doing everything that you're doing, I'm picking up my XC70 this weekend, it's not going to be anywhere near your level of crazy but it'll be a nice adventure wagon when I'm done
Adam Sheppard is spot on, your editing and camera work is better and better, keep at it!
Thanks a lot, bud! I started filming, editing, and posting all at the same time, so I hope it's getting a bit better over time. They are GREAT cars, and a total bargain right now! Thanks for watching!!
@@BBBonYT they can be a hell of a bargain for sure. I'm diving into filming, editing, and posting on my channel as well and it's a huge amount of work. More power to you!
Yeeeehewwwww the build is looking sweet!
Thanks Bud! When will we ask the ultimate question of a Gambler 500 rig??
@@BBBonYT "When?" is the ultimate question.
Dig it! I have an 05R that i am thinking of doing a "cross country" version out of. I have a bone stock 04 R m66 for a daily.... You earned a new subscriber!
I am jealous of the M66, they are proving hard to find in good condition... I fully support you building up the R! We need more lifted Volvos around :) Thanks for watching!!
I am so impressed with the look of this car ...I own a lifted (bad sweede) volvo i have almost 12 in ground clearance and its very cool ,noticibly higher and can be compared to grand cherokee in terms of height (stock ) ... but yours is absolutely in another league ...IMPRESSIVE... i would like to lift it another in so can bigger tires to fit ,presently im running 225/70R16 ... I am curious how much ground clearance you will have and what finished product will look like ...ipd did a one of a kind xc70 for SEMA and when i saw that i was so inspired to improve mine a bit...you could consider making body spacers for sale ,i believe you would suppliment your income ...bottom line i subbed and am extremely anxious to see finished product ... so far so awesome !!!
Thanks for the feedback! I am glad you're enjoying the build as much as I am. IPD is a sponsor, and I have talked to them several times about how they built the XC70R, and adjusted it to someone who is working in their backyard. There's still a ton of projects to do on the car, but it's definitely getting there! Thanks for watching!!
super sick video
Thanks! It's a lot of fun to build these projects, and I am glad its appreciated!
Looking good!!!
Thanks! I thought I was just biased, but i really do love the way this car looks...and it isn't even nearly complete yet :)
I see it on lifted volvos page on Facebook too. I have 2.5" on mine right now but I'm collecting stuff to build a monster lift with tall skinny tires. Mine is a daily driver.
Looks tough! Will handle like shit and break drivetrain bits but what the hell it looks cool. 😆
Find the weak link. Repair and upgrade. Repeat. A solid recipe for an adventure rig! Thanks for watching!
A motherfuckin montaaaaage
To show it all would take to long! That’s called a montageeeeee!!
the automatic tranny already has a temp sensor, all you need is a obd2 tool to read the temp live on the cluster.
Looking good so far! I subscribed & 👍up. What is your ground clearance??? I am really curious about that. Thxs!
I will measure when I get back to work on it, and mention it in the next video! Thanks for watching!!
Yo, this is sick! When is the next part comming, when it's mostly assembled?
Hey bud, glad you're enjoying the journey! I have been working (slowly) on getting it pushed along, and will have an episode in a few weeks time. Longer days means I can start getting more work done on the projects! Thanks for watching!!
@@BBBonYT alright! Will be keeping an eye out
awesome!
Thanks bud!
I'm saving up for an 04 xc70 I hope I can build it up
I highly encourage you to do just that! Join the forums and the Volvo specific groups. They're a great way to get ideas. Thanks for watching!
@@BBBonYT Sick! I'll keep that in mind
I have one they are damn good cars and only 119,xxx miles on it. I love my wagon.
I'd drive it!
Just wait until it's really together and complete! It's gonna be one amazing machine, not just a rad Volvo! Thanks for watching!!
Good job and brleautiful! I perefer to have little bit tiny tires so its its totaly fit and lift more. But i dont have experience 🌷🙏
Thanks for watching! I am glad you are enjoying it!!
Nice work. But 😜 crazy. Impossible ti do it in my country. Not allowed 🚫!!!
Thanks! It's a lot of fun. Glad you're enjoying it.
What is the size of the Jeep tires that were on it?I would like bigger tires on my 2002 XC70 without doing any major modifications. Thanks.
Hi Rob, they are stock Jeep Rubicon tires, so 255/75/R17, or 32's. Be warned, they DID require a lot of modifications to get the car to accept them. But I think it's going to be worth it when we're out in the trails of the Gambler 500 in a car that cost $425 from an auction! Thanks for watching!!
Spare tyre mount? Keep the episodes coming!
Yup. We have something in the works for that. I don’t want to mount it to the roof because they’re so heavy and it will take up space for garbage, and I don’t want to decimate the cargo capacity. It will be external, and I hope to get to it in the near future. Thanks for watching!!
What do those tires do to the power delivery? I'm trying to get 30's on a P80 chassis XC and I'm assuming it'll have to be reved a bit more to get it going. What's the overall driveability like?
We didn't notice a ton because we really weren't going too high into the powerband. Obviously acceleration would be negatively affected, and MPG was affected as well. MUCH more capable tho! Thanks for wacthing!
Did you have to change out the axles and added subframe spacers?
The axles are stock, and the subframe spacers are homemade and fully detailed in a previous episode. Thanks for watching!
“Pick a line any line”
Are you worried you're weakening the chassi too much?
I Love this Volvo :D You have a sub good sir :P
Thanks! I am glad the project is liked by others, and isn't just an odd creation I dig. Thanks for watching!
@@BBBonYT Im a Volvo lover and im looking to buy V70XC or XC70 so im sick when I see Yours on these 39's 😅🤤 Im waiting for more content mate 😎
That roof rack, where its from ? looks great, just ad big lightbar in front
The roof rack is a generic online one. It's the extended version which adds around 12" length to it. I had the exact same model on my last Gambler rig, and it was perfect for carrying large amounts of trash out of the woods. Hoping this will be able to do the same! The light bar is on the way as well!! Thanks for watching!
How did you address the rear driveshaft with the extra 3.5 inches?
Spacers. It's in a future episode. Thanks for watching!
@@BBBonYT yup...I caught it in the next episode I watched..
Would this pass inspection? Curious because I don't know much about diy builds
Great question! California doesn't have an inspection process like you're thinking about, so they won't be looking into the modifications like they would in other states. That being said, we didn't do anything that makes the car more unsafe. Thanks for watching!
@@BBBonYT okay sounds good, thank you for the reply
Turn up narration audio
Does the XC70 still live?!
Oh yes! Parts have been received. But I got a new job that took a lot of my weekday wrench time away. There will be a new episode of it coming up, and then the summer events it's going to as well. You'll have your fill of XC500R content soon enough! Thanks for watching!
I wanna see someone lower one of these
That would be super cool to see! Probably wouldn't do so well on the Gambler 500 tho... :)
Thanks for watching!!
What turbos are going on? NOS??
I will run whatever turbo OR NOS you provide me :)
noise normalize your videos your montage music is way too loud
Thanks for the feedback! The audio is for sure the biggest challenge for me when editing. I'll look around and try to find a walkthrough for how to make that happen on future episodes. Thanks for watching!!
The bmw does exist!!!
Может быть,пригодится! th-cam.com/video/2tML1ZRO0yA/w-d-xo.html
Бог,в помощь! www.drive2.ru/r/volvo/xc70/468150061948207552/
Sorry , Ruins the Volvo . just cut up some American Jeep heap would have been better , But your work is commended ! Well done .
That's not the spirit of the event, but to each their own. Thanks for watching!
