Ok, I couldn't get this to load the other day and I thought it was a scam. Today I can see it all and it's beautiful. There are even climate control DTCs!

I got a hitch for free from a guy that I met at the dog park and installed it. Now I can use it for my bike carrier and go to the mountains! Pretty easy install and the hitch is very sturdy. I also found a set of OEM Volvo roof racks at the wrecking yard for $35 and put them on so I don't have to worry about hacking up my interior with skis this winter!

Aren't you in Montana? There's a couple Xc70 in the junkyard here that I was going to grab one of them before a free one fell in my lap. I don't know how hard they are to find but I could probably get one and ship it to you.

Really? Which state?

I did one of those co-part searches once and no one would respond to email or call me back.

too much hassle boxing and shipping , they probably prefer stuff they can just toss in a prepaid USPS box.
I have a curt 2 1/2 " hitch, not volvo but for $165 it looks great from the drivers seat.

I hope my volvo appreciates all this work I'm doing for its sake.
