I Used My XC70 Like a Truck to Get My Shop Organized
This week I did some housekeeping stuff around the shop after being out of town so much recently. Does that make it shopkeeping? No... That's something different. Anyways, it's always satisfying to get the shop clean and better organized. I also loved being able to use the Volvo to go grab those shelves, it's my most practical vehicle by far.

@@justaxel1830 No clue, but the files can be found here! www.printables.com/model/59653-volvo-xc70-lift-kit-and-subframe-spacers-p2-chassi Adding this to the description as well, should've done that in the first place.
The Man will never outgrow his jank instincts lol
@@TheChief052 If it's jenk and it works, is it still jenk? That's the saying right?
Revive the vic!
@@Reyalsnogard42 Procrastination is one helluva drug... I need to take it in and see if the professionals can figure it out.
I would love to see some videos of the old Subaru. Almost never see a Subie of that vintage in Minnesota, they turned to dust long ago.
@@dcmphoto7437 It's coming! When I get a chance™️and the motivation of course haha. Yeah, this on is incredibly clean, even though it has over 200k miles. It deserves some love.
Love the pissing clips!! That is hilarious 😂
Need to full uncut version of the Fiery Furnace. What a cool experience!
@@Reyalsnogard42 Might show up on @JoelsExtendedCuts, or I might play more Cyberpunk 2077... Decision decisions
Amazing how you don't need a $100k rig to enjoy the trails! Been to Arches and Moab many times. Thinking I probably won't go again. Too crowded. Keep adventuring that Volvo- it's absolutely fantastic 👍
@@dcmphoto7437 I'm still amazed how well the Volvo did! It was a blast. The trails weren't too busy, but the park itself was. I'm getting sorta tired of national parks myself due to it tbh.
@@JoelKalich Same. Been to many NPs. If you ever want people to ruin your vacation experience, visit a national park. Lol. Pro tip: Most humans are creatures of habit and will leave the park for dinner, drinks or other modern comforts. After about 4 pm it becomes much more tolerable.
You should put the m66 in it
@@Itz_Joe_Here That's the manual from the V70R, right? I want to so badly! I doubt I'll ever have the time/money, but I really want to.
@@JoelKalich You got that correct and the swap is possible and the procedure is pretty much the same as the R
It's paved you nitwit........???? You can just bike dude. A ford fiesta is perfectly fine. WTF?
ua-cam.com/video/rjCqjutyxKQ/v-deo.html Part one of the 3000 mile road trip is out! We took this car 1500 miles to Moab, UT and took it on some trails that really tested it to it's limit. We didn't even see any other Subarus, let alone a Volvo! Part 2 will be out later this week!
Didn't realize how small the Shafer Butte watch tower was!
@@Reyalsnogard42 when you've got a mountain of that size to put it on you don't need much!
Great video man. Gotta love a lifted Volvo! Did you end up having to get an alignment? Camber in the front looks like it needed an adjustment.
@@Jaggi96 Thanks! I definitely love it haha. We just got back from offroading it in Moab and it did great on the highway and the trails. Camber isn't adjustable with these when stock. I have a home alignment kit that I've used to align it, and the camber doesn't look too bad by my measurements, but I have considered getting some camber bolts to allow for adjustment.
Just one question….How many free days of vacation do you got? Nice video!
@@Lovani1 haha, I'd been saving it up for this vacation
Haha don’t wanna smell feet after all those days out in the wilderness! 😂
Yeah, it wasn't great. Be glad there wasn't smellovision!
Great views of nature. Always wanted to visit BC. Thx for taking us on your holidays!
Every time I've been to BC I've been impressed. Thanks for watching!
Sandy lake best lake, except maybe Unna because of the beetles.
@@Reyalsnogard42 My favorite was Isaac lake (from part 1) because it had the best swimming holes!
Both your videos of the canoe trip are fun to watch. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
@@amyrutledge7466 Glad you enjoyed them!
Well done! I enjoyed watching and listening ❤
@@amyrutledge7466 Thank you!
Very happy we get to relive this! Would do it again :D
How did the paperwork side of things go? Washington resident here, and it seems Copart provides a bill of sale not a title? What exactly do you do from there?
It wasn't too bad. I nearly lacked paperwork for the replacement fender on the Subaru Outback I rebuilt, make sure to get bills of sale/receipts for major parts. The website provides a lot of resources. If I get the time I would like to make a video going more in depth on the process, maybe time for another salvage vehicle project.... Here's a link to the guide from the state: www.wsp.wa.gov/traveler/docs/inspection_guides/rebuilt_salvage_vehicle.pdf There is a section in the document mentioning copart specifically. Here's a link to the page that leads to that document: www.wsp.wa.gov/traveler/vinspect.htm
Nice vid and great car. It’s now turning in to a series that I have to make in blocks of 30 mins 😂.
@@Lovani1 hah, yeah, this was a long one for sure! Had fun looking back on the process as I edited this one, glad you're enjoying it.
water pit stops :D nice touch
I realy like the volvo fantastic car i want one pf those my self🎉
I've been loving it. We are currently on a road trip to Arches, Zion, etc (video soon™️) and it's performed flawlessly on and off road. It's tackled some trails I didn't think it'd make it up.
Would you print the lift kit and sell it?
Not "commercially," I don't own the design and I don't want any of the liability if the kit fails. I will message the creator and see if they mind me selling on request though, shoot me an email at joelkalichyt@protonmail.com
daam that outback looked glorious! i wish you enough subs to be able to buy it back and turn it in a youtube project car! impreza engine, blue paint job, gold rims :D
@@Wes12940 I would love to build a Subaru some day! For now my Volvo XC70 is filling the reliable daily AWD wagon role, and I just don't need three wagons (I also have a Subaru Loyale 4x4)
Always fun when you end a project with more money in the pocket.
@@Lovani1 Yup! I got too attached to the other one, a Volvo XC70 (video out next Friday) to sell it haha
That’s how I found your channel because of the XC70 adventures. Can’t wait to watch it.
@@Lovani1 There will be a week long Volvo road trip coming out in a few weeks, that's what I'm doing right now! That's also why this week's and next week's videos are pre-edited and scheduled. Appreciate you comin' along!
An aesthetics video
@@Reyalsnogard42 It was a real vibe, hope I did a good job of conveying that.
Love the drone shots on top of the hill. How high is that?
@@Lovani1 Yeah, it was crazy beautiful up there. Just checked my GPS software and, according to it, South Baldy peaks at 5974 feet! That's definitely higher than I thought we were.
Awesome video. I enjoyed watching it. It’s like a good thriller…are you going to make it back….
@@Lovani1 Thanks, appreciate it! Driving 45-50 on the highway was certainly thrilling...
Never give up on the vic!!!
I thought this was a car channel?
@@TheChief052 What are bikes if not two wheeled cars that burn calories instead of fossil fuels?
@@JoelKalichI've been outplayed lol
@@TheChief052 lol, I think you're just easily persuaded
Awwww your sister is the reason you got the Mongoose? 🥺
@Reyalsnogard42 Yeah, her and dad, shocking that I remember that.
Too much salt 😭 definitely top 5 camping spots
If I ever called clipless pedals something else or messed up bicycle terms in any other way, please let me know here
inch pounds will be the end of us
@@Reyalsnogard42 Yeah, I hate foot pounds too
"The Rear Break is just not feeling great", You do that on purpose?
@@TheChief052 no :(
@@JoelKalich Shoulda said yes lol
C'mon... you know better that to say "easy" in a garage...
Yeahhhhh, I do, yet I just keep doing it. I don't learn...
Perfect video to watch while eating my breakfast sandwich
Gotta love a good breakfast sandwich!
do you work on any volvos with the powershift transmissions?
@@bobbob4002 That XC70 is my first volvo car, so I'm guessing it doesn't have that, and the answer is no.
DiCE pain was very painful
@@Reyalsnogard42 A day and a half of my life that I'll never get back...
Good news! Ebay decided in my favor, and are forcing the seller to accept the return. If you try to buy a DICE, be wary of this other unit disguised as one.
What size tires are you running?
Great question! In this video, just the stock size. In the future I got some 225/70R16 KO2s. They're definitely as big as I'd go, under suspension extension they rub a little bit in the rear, just on plastics though.
@@JoelKalich Sweet, those probably look great. Where in the wheel well are u seeing rubbing, forward, top or back?
@@heiszerton No probably about it haha, they look and work great. In this video I put them and the lift to the test! ua-cam.com/video/i3S7ZUt1aI8/v-deo.html They're rubbing on the front, for some reason the wheels aren't centered in the wheel well of these cars.
@@JoelKalich That is what I figured, I noticed that in ur video. Thanks for posting this video was super cool and helpful. How has the material held up?
@@heiszerton Yeah, for sure! I haven't checked how they held up, but they haven't un-installed themselves yet, and I've beaten the heck outta it.
Crown Vic would still be my zombie apocalypse car
@@Reyalsnogard42 It still got us home!
Love your videos about camping and just life. Keep it up!
@@Lovani1 Thanks for the compliment and for watching!
I think you need to get a GoPro and mount it on top of the roof, would like to see more of the journey that way while you edit in your commentary while driving. I like the drone shots as well, and because you used them sparingly, it was a nice touch, you can pan back to the view inside the cab, but i feel like it would add a nice touch to the video. Also, when showing the map, instead of having it full screened, maybe have it either half or 1/3rd screen while drone shooting in the direction of where you’re going into the next waypoint. Just my thoughts. Overall, I enjoyed the video, I find your voice good for commentaries, so I’m not trying to rag, just giving some feedback. Anyways, thanks for the content!
@@Phuggly Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, hindsight 20/20, I probably should've had my time-lapse camera running the entire time, I did use it during the first night on the drive down to Oregon. I'll try to improve the map edits, this was the first video I'd ever tried that on, and wow was it time consuming lol. Again, thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
Good video!
Fun vid!
