My 3-Inch Lifted 2010 Volvo XC90 V8 Off Roading

Forgot to post these clips of Thor, my old lifted XC90 off roading. It was certainly fun but I really ended up being disappointed with the off road capabilities, but that’s just because the trails I go on are way too difficult for a crossover LOL. Looking at LX 470’s for the next SUV.. cheers peeps
First video was from the Frederick Watershed with Sofyan ‪@theredline‬!
Second video was from Peter’s Mill Run in Virginia. A lot more of a difficult trail for this AWD system!

Before anyone asks, Thor had a Magnaflow muffler on. Sounded so good! Perfect volume even on long trips..

[@ricardolandgrave2532]

Sure sounds sick

[@ricardolandgrave2532]

Actually came looking for this answer lol

[@t.barnes4452]

Do you recall what Magnaflow you had?

[@BernonCars]

@@t.barnes4452 unfortunately I don’t because I bought it with that muffler

[@t.barnes4452]

@@BernonCars no worries, thanks for the quick response!

[@timdex91]

Love the Volvo XC90 content!!! Stay safe

[@BernonCars]

Thank you! Hopefully there will be more XC content in the future even if I don’t own one!

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Man what a beast!

[@EngineeredMojo]

Damn, good off road content!

[@BernonCars]

I knew I had some unseen footage from somewhere! Haha

[@mario5513]

I think i recall running into you and a white FJ in Greenridge a few months back. Always had a soft spot for these Volvos. Cool channel, if you ever want to review a Tundra let me know.

[@BernonCars]

Yup we were there! Thank you! What kind of Tundra?

[@chubsound]

Yo, love what you are doing. I am trying to do much the same to a 2011 XC60 R-Design. Any tips or pointers?

[@BernonCars]

I think Cross Country Performance makes a kit for the XC60. Pretty straightforward install actually!

[@kaweka260]

I know you sold it but do you remember the size of the tires and how much it cost for the lift?

[@tomgerard7518]

Very cool

[@BernonCars]

Thank you!

[@GasGuzzlers]

🥵🥵🥵1:17 is awesome! Great stuff!

[@BernonCars]

Skid plates coming in handy LOL

[@titanoboa7165]

Hi Bern, Once Thor was 'lifted' three inches, was there no additional wobbling when on the highway at speed? I was watching some videos from a Colorado group who lifted an XC70 4 inches (I think) and they said that they noticed wobbling when at highway speeds. Keep up the good work. Kudos to your trusty cameraperson!!! ~~ and now I see that you are looking at the Lexus 470 (needs to go look at your newer vids). Last question is, does Lexus test for rollover and crash survivability like VOLVO does? I am personally sold on the safety of the Volvo Boron Steel (look that up!!)

[@BernonCars]

Hey! Yeah unfortunately he did have quite a bit of wobble on the highway. I wasn’t too thrilled about that, even after having the tires balanced a few times! Lexus isn’t as rigorous in terms of testing themselves but the GX and LX have solid rollover ratings with side curtain air bags! They’re both pretty safe trucks Thanks for tuning in!

[@kebmedia420]

looks fun! where is this trail?

[@BernonCars]

First one was at the Frederick Watershed and the other one was at Peter’s Mill Run in VA

[@titanoboa7165]

Next question, Bern sir, why not try an Xc70? Lower center of gravity, shaped more like an off-road Subaru . . . Great content, keep telling us more!

[@BernonCars]

I like the XC70 but I appreciate the extra room the 90 has! Thank you!

[@prsguitar6910]

Where do you guys Offroad? I’m in nova and there’s nothing by me, any tips?

[@BernonCars]

I’d recommend Peter’s Mill Run (near Harrisonburg). I made a video a few years ago with my Tacoma. Worth a watch! There’s also Flagpole Knob also by Harrisonburg

[@arekscislak6162]

Hi, what exact size and brand of tires did you use? You didn't have to cut anything when you applied this performance kit?

[@BernonCars]

Hi! They are 265/60/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I had to do some trimming on the front bumper but that's it!

[@arekscislak6162]

@@BernonCars Thank you. did you lift car it up a bit?

[@GRcorolla-bt3mn]

Does it have Center diff lock?

[@BernonCars]

Unfortunately no, just a hydraulic pump

[@iamdjsluggo]

Bern, you sold this steed, no?

[@BernonCars]

Months ago!

[@alevcopur]

hi what is the tire?

[@BernonCars]

Nitto Ridge Grappler!

[@alevcopur]

@BernonCars thanks man 👍

[@saramaki1088]

I thought you sold it🤔

[@BernonCars]

I did! These are just some clips from the summer I found in my camera roll haha

[@gregb8759]

I think you should have kept it a little while longer

[@BernonCars]

@@gregb8759 I considered it but I fell out of love with it and it just sat for a while until I sold it. Also! I guess I never mentioned it before but the motor blew a week after I sold it LOL

[@eijijivjiv]

@@BernonCars after watching your video and seeing this comment and other people have there transmission go I decided not to get this car it's just terribly design to work on and the engine or transmission suck

[@GCast-iv1pd]

LOL. I feel bad for the guy who bought it from you.

[@BernonCars]

He takes it off road too!

[@yupthatsallitis8107]

POV: you are man running after bad man steal your car. Ha ha ha

[@dom3489]

Camera man needs an ebike

[@BogusMisiek]

You are green and it shows.
