Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Looking for Tips on Improving the Off-Road Performa

Hello Everyone , Having recently joined the forum, I'm thrilled to be a member of this informed and engaged group. I currently own a 2018 Dacia Duster, and I've had a great time with it. But lately, I've become interested in off-road experiences, therefore I want to improve my Duster's capabilities for these kinds of trips. I've done some investigation and found a number of improvements and modifications that can be made to enhance off-road capability, but I'd really like to hear from other Duster owners that have actually used these upgrades. Here are some particular topics I would like advice on: Suspension & Lift Kits: Which lift kits or suspension enhancements are best for enabling the Duster to tackle rugged terrain? Are there any specific brands or models which you would suggest? Tyres: I am aware that off-road performance is greatly impacted by tyres. Which tyre kinds are ideal for driving both on and off the highway? Which particular brands have you found to be effective? Protective underbody and skid plates: What is the level of necessity for adding skid plates or other types of underbody protection? Which specific goods provide the best protection despite significantly sacrificing weight? Lighting: Better lighting is frequently necessary for off-road driving. Which light bars or extra lights are the best options? To what extent is the entire installation process complex? Extra additions: Do you have any other modifications or additions that you find very helpful for off-road driving? For instance, snorkels, winches, and roof racks. I also followed this: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/official-new-car-sap-reviews/156651-renault-duster-awd-official-review-58.html Thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone ,

But lately, I've become interested in off-road experiences, therefore I want to improve my Duster's capabilities for these kinds of trips.

I've done some investigation and found a number of improvements and modifications that can be made to enhance off-road capability, but I'd really like to hear from other Duster owners that have actually used these upgrades.

hello! First thing to say is that this is not the right place to speak in english, so it s a litle bit of an off topic. The place where you should speak in english and have discussions about the duster model is: https://www.daciaclub.ro/Dacia-Duster-Engli...orner-f152.html
first section, you SHOULD always have pillow like suspensions, even if on air, or springs, because it is a core feature of a 4wd offroader you should see some on the mudster page https://www.mudster.ro/en/complete-suspensi...15_dci_85_115hp or on the race shop site https://race-shop.ro/lift-kits/359870-pedde...cia-duster.html .
second section, off road tires can higher up the consumpage up to 2 liters, so be echilibrated at every offer, and if you want a tire size, check the first image. On brands i recommend you minerva or continental to be honest.
third section, you can put protective plastic covers on the doors and other sensible parts of the car if the second picture got uploaded, and the single (total zone) underbody protective covers wich are on a duster 3 are in the third image and on this site https://shop.carpoint-nrw.de/en/shop/produc...er-iii-kopie-2/ . For the weight, hard plastic ones are the best, but for durabilty you can take aluminum ones.
fourth section, the set of lights that are usually required on mid night offroad are in the fourth image and if you want more you can see the fifth picture. You can see tutorials for getting the cable in the roof or in the engine bay.
fifth section, you can do a stage one ecu tune to have more torque and bhp, for example you can have from 240 nm to 300 nm and from 110 bhp to 130/135 bhp (depends on the tune) and i don t find any modifications useful . Hope that i helped you!
