This is my 2007 XC90 D5 project. I bought this car with gearbox failure which ended up being just a gear shifter fault. I thought it would be a nice car to drive on the beach so I decided to make it a little bit more off road capable. I made some drawings and had samples manufactured which you can see in this video. I am not aiming for the max lift but rather just something that can go on the beach and also comfortably on road.
It has 265/65/17 tyres and it has no rub issues. The front shock is extended 60mm but still has original travel length and it uses your stock spring. The rear shock is extended 60mm and it has extended travel compared to the original. The rear spring is longer and thicker and it gives you also about 60mm lift.
Once I have tested all this I will make this kit available to buy.
In this episode, I make brackets for the spotlights using my home-made CNC plasma cutter.

Love the video and can't wait for the kit to be available, think there are a lot of people watching this space 😁👌
Im thinking about doing the same. Its a sweet, well built, solid car. Pre china quality
Was so shocked to see Western Australian plates on the car. Noice 👌
Cheers!
Красавчик! Теперь я понял что мне не хватает в гараже - станка лазерной резки) кронштейны как заводские приятно смотреть.
Haha wow, you could jack the vehicle with those light mounts! Awesome!
You are probably right :) I'll get some aluminium for the next gadgets.
Hey, thats a nice build. 😀
I did my lift with spacers between the springs and springplate and Bilstein B6 shocks, but your longer rearsprings would have been great. Looking foreward as you said they may be available soon 😀👍🏼 Greetz, Bjørn
Thanks, I will let you know when I get it done 👍
I will follow you! from spain
Looks heaps better! :D
That spotlight bracket is thicker than an engine mount.
Yeah, better safe than sorry
Hey! Loved how it turned out. Very interested in buying the kit from you. Is it available? Thanks!
Thanks! They are having problems getting some parts for rear shock modification and it might take few months. I hope I have them ready at the end of the year at least.
do you have a link or introduction to your lift kit?
where did you get the lift parts? I am interested in doing the same thing
I have done it myself, more info in video description.
Looks nice! What tires do you have?
265/65R17

Greetings, I noticed the Western Australia plates on the XC90, I was under the impression that you were based in Estonia!
I am from Estonia but working and living in Western Australia at the moment.
@@HeapsofProjects Can I ask if the 242GT is with you in Australia?
@@ricksampson6780 Yes, I have got two 242GT-s here with me.
@@HeapsofProjects Fantastic, what are your future plans for the GT's and do you have any spare parts/trim up for sale?
@@HeapsofProjects how do I get a job to afford making money to live AND own two of 242gts...😉
Will 265/65/17 fit w/o a lift. Not worried about destruction of the car
Yes, it will fit but will rub slightly on the lower spring seat. I did few laps like that and wasn't really a big issue.
@@HeapsofProjects so you not recommend to buy 265 tires? to go offroad. I thought I'll buy until read about rub.
@@aeromarius234 there is a slight rub which shouldn't be a big problem. I have another test set of the lift kit in the making now and if I am happy with it they will become availabe for purchase.
Will your kit fit the 05 XC90?
Yes, it would. I am in a process of getting a second test kit made at the moment. If I am happy with that I will make it available for ordering.
@@HeapsofProjects please let us know when you make it available, would love this for mine ❤️
@@sunny13579 Will do!

Is the kit available?
