very nice, I was very close to buy one of these but discouraged a bit by the lack of aftermarket parts to customize it . It is double but a bit more difficult.
Good luck with the build :)

Really nice practical/versatile XC70. Am continually tempted by these myself(run a 2009 V70 2.5T currently) before throwing cash into a 'big' rig.
Re the Haldex controller I believe one of the VW specialists have developed something for the 4Motion range,not sure whether it would be transferrable.

Just installed the 30mm Tema4x4 lift kit on my '14 XC70 the other day. Car feels a bit "edgy" after the lift. Not sure if it's just me, if it's the higher cog or if I need to adjust the wheel alignemt (I'm having that done next week).
Got a question for @Äventyrsfarsan . What's the smallest clearance between you tire and the wheel arch after you got the 255/60-17's? I have the some worn out original 235/55-17's now and I only got approx 40mm of clearance so I'm somewhat skeptical about going for the larger tires in case there's some differences between your '11 and my '14.
