Here in 2024, nice video showing your rig, well done! I'm soon going to be turning my recently acquired 2008 XC90 V8 Sport (I'm American, sue me LOL) into a camping rig. Probably not as full-on as yours but a number of changes to better equip it for off-roading, a little overlanding & mostly fishing/camping trips this summer. Love my XC90 & looking forward to some great weekends! Not sure if you'll even see this, but regardless, cheers from Kentucky, USA! (new sub BTW)
Hey there, of course I see this😄👍🏼 And I won't sue anybody, cause I've learned from Kentucky Ballstics "I've got a gun!" 🤣 Have great fun with your V8, love the sound of it. I've upgraded to a Landcruiser recently, but my Volvo is on duty still at a nice family with kids. Greetings to Kentucky, Bjørn 🙂👍🏼
I love all the modifications you've done to your XC90. I've recently purchased a MY2007 XC90 V8 Executive which is on original suspension and would love to make it more tough. Keep up the videos please!
I used to live in germany... just got an xc90 ... great to see some cool mods and upgrades that i can persuade the missus we need on ours lol we already got a great new android head uni9t from TEYES and 3d cameras rear /reverse cam etc ...cheers from Perth WA
I think Michael from seek adventure is making a comeback...great car btw ,I am getting next week xc90 3.2 and will use it for of road in Australia...cheers
Sehr cooles Auto!! Volvo ist auch einer meiner Favoriten! Vor allem die XC Modelle! Absolutes Daumen hoch👍👍👍 Gute Idee von @Bad Bonsai dieses Video!! Hat beim Anschauen grossen Spaß gemacht!! Aber irgendwie fehlt was bei dem Review!?🤔......😃Ein "Truck-Gun"! Im mittleren Westen der USA🇺🇸üblich! Bei uns leider noch weitestgehend unbekannt☺
Bjorn where can I get the "bug deflector" ? eBay, in Australia we call it a bonnet protector, to deflect small rocks. love your channel especially about the suspension modifications . grussli
@@TheDIDSBIAK You're welcome. There are other traders in most EU-countries, I got mine from Lithuania, the price is mostly the same. Best regards and good luck, Bjørn
Hey and welcome to my channel. I just searched Amazon and my old purchase-list, but the roofrack seems to be no langer available, I‘m sorry. Also I would buy a longer one today. Greetz, Björn :-)
Hi and thank you. Are you talking about the license plate carrier? This silverish H-shaped plastic part had been there since the factory. I get this question more often. It seems to had been part of the "summum-edition", which my Volvo is. Best regards, Bjørn 👋🙂
@@greyknight05 ah I see. It gives it a nice rugged look. It seems this was changed for the 2006 and up models where it's sort of more flush with the bumper and doesn't extend that high up. But I tend to Like this 1 and it seems to be as you said, part of that edition of perhaps face-lift if you wish. Thanks for the swift response. I'm planning to add the diamond plate as well. Haven't done any off roading yet but better to have this but of protection than not.
Hi Björn, great video. Also love offroading with the xc90. Went for the BFG KO2 in 245/75R17. Fits great and just bit beafier than stock. Totally agree, surprisingly what this Volvo can do. I am also looking to create some tow hooks for the front and back. Did you manage? Greets from Holland!
Hey Niels, thanks for the Info, do the 245/75R17 fit or did you need to change something at the wheelhousing? What about steering? The tow points are "under construction", I'm looking for some points to mount without bending the frame... the factorys recoverycard is a good indicator for where not to mount them. 😉👍 Until soon
Q? have you noticed the steel skid pan has improved road holding at all? I was thinking it would stiffen up the chassis possibly a bit like a sway bar in a way... I was just curious.. cheers
