- In this video we go in depth on all the modifications we did to our Dacia Duster to prepare it for our Overlanding Adventures!
None of this would be possible without the great support from our friends over at 4x4Proyect! If you're in the market for a new suspension kit for the Duster check the link below!

Starting to plan my overland project. Came into this channel. Amazing work and from Portugal. Please keep going!
I modified my duster like this... suspensions raised 5 cm... lsd with 80% locking... new front rear, 140 hp..... and it doesn't need anything anymore. it's impressive 😁😁👍👍
Nice work! Sounds like an impressive build! How are the twin lsd working for you?
@@xpd44.outfitters along with the central differential, the 2 LSD front and rear differentials improve grip when a wheel is suspended, none of the wheels on the ground spin for nothing.
@@xpd44.outfitters and the power is no longer so great that you risk forcing and breaking the planetary gears in turns due to the 20% tolerance when turning the wheels, allowing balanced turns.
@@andiruiu3327 awesome! How about the centre diff? Is it stock or did you upgrade it? We ve experienced overheating and automatic disengaging twice and are seriously considering upgrading to pneumatic.. what’s your setup?
@@xpd44.outfitters the central locking differential remained the one from the factory, thanks to the fact that I have these lsds that stop the exaggerated slippage of the wheels, the traction computer no longer enters the breakdown mode and behaves perfectly... now let's clearly understand that it is not an extreme off-road car... but it has extraordinary qualities in this configuration
Enjoyable series of videos. Giving me plenty of reasons why I should go and buy a Duster!!!
Thank you man! Watch the latest videos to se the duster in action in Morocco!! Cheers
Would be great to see some more detail about the roof rail system you've made, how it attaches and so forth. Looks grand!
Soon!!
Hello, I'm still looking for a nice rack solution, will you share your drawings with me?@@xpd44.outfitters
My first video on your channel. I LOVE IT!! I have a 2022 duster, owned it for almost a year now and covered 40k miles still stock everything. Thinking of modifying it soon.
Go for it! You will be impressed on the stuff it can do with just a few tweaks
@@xpd44.outfitters thanks for the reply. Inspired by your videos!!
Thank you very helpful and informative
In Brazil is Renault Duster.
The best SUV in Brazil.
Totally agree with the statement on the factory roof rails, not overly practical and limited points to secure to given the length, be interested to see yours developed and become available
Thanks!! Soon 😉
@@xpd44.outfitters any updates? I'm dying for a better option!
@@spenceryu2703 we will assemble the v2 prototype this week and if everything works nicely it will be available very soon
awesome build on the roof rack...
Thanks a lot 🤜🏽🤛🏽
As a Duster fan, I lov the work you made, it's almost exactly what I would do if mine was offroad dedicated. And YES the roof bars are shit to mount anything on it ! If you commercialise your roofrack I'm definitely getting one !
Thank you so much! Roof rack in something we are working on to release this year! Please help us by sharing the videos!
@@xpd44.outfitters In that cas I will share it on the french facebook group
@@antazur3983 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You guys are making great videos! The upgrades you've made yourselves to Duster are amazing! By the way I own the new Duster 2023 4x4 journey plus version and it does now come with the engine/gearbox protector included on this version I am not sure about the other versions.
It doesn’t come with a standard steel engine shield?
Projecto brutal! Muitos parabéns. Também já andei a olhar muito para o Duster para usar como veículo de overland, adoro o visual dele mas não encontrava muita coisa para ele.
Que venham mais vídeos 💪
E tenham uma excelente viagem
Obrigado! O objectivo é esse mesmo, colocar informação acerca deste excelente carro
Hi, how many kg have now?
Hi there, I am from South Africa and enjoy my Duster as much. I love the underbody skidplates protection that you fitted to yours, or even the design and measurements. Is there any chance of buying them from those guys that made them for you, as here in SA the Duster are pretty much neglected when it comes to especially that protection parts. I enjoy your content and am excited for more. Thanks.
Please send us a DM on instagram and we'll figure that out
Hi there, love the rack. But can you slide a hand witha tool under to bolt a roof top tent?
Hey Tommaso, the bars are completely modular you can bolt on all kinds of accessories and slide them into place wherever you want. We will release a dedicated video soon. Anyways the roofrack is intended to be very streamline so you can barely fit a hand underneath. If your rooftop tent uses U bolts however those screw from the top so no problem what so ever!
Thanks man, anche idea of when it's going to be available?
hola tengo el duster 1.5d de 115cv y 4x4 del 2022 y no me esperaba tan buena impresion.pense en primer lugar por la POTENCIA solo 115cv pero como son las marchas mas bien cortas como una menos de un coche normal pues acelera basntante bien para adelantar y la primera parece una reductora pues tiene mucha fuerza y vas muy lento en zonas muy complicadas sin gastar embrague y encima apenas se cala al salir.la traccion 4x4 es imprescindible si sueles ir mucho al monte pues en 2x2 en nada se queda encallado sea subida graba nieve o barro..el CONSUMO es casi lo que mas me ha guastado de este coche pues aun en rodaje me hace 1000km con un deposito llendo a 70-80kmh en quinta pues hay que hacer el rodaje a 2000 o algo mas de vueltas y tambien hago algo de caminos incluido en ese consumo y creo que podra hacerse 1100 o 1200km a igual velocidad y trayecto llendo en 6 marcha tras el rodaje.la COMODIDAD es buenisima pues apenas se notan los baches por suspension y asientos blandos con direccion y embrague super suaves con muy buena estabilidad en curvas.las COTAS OFF ROAD son muy buenas con 21cm de altura,40cm vadeo y mas de 30cm de ataque y salida con paragolpes redondeados para no dar.la INSTRUMENTACION es bastante buena ya que es el tope llamado prestige.por ultimo el DISEÑO esta muy bien acertado en esta ultima version y este color atacama le da muchisimo encanto pues en blanco se ve mucho mas espartano.los CONTRAS:
1-si lo paras a los 3 minutos no puedes abrir o cerrar ventanillas sin arrancar el motor
2-pitido muy fuerte por el cinturon y demas cosas
3-navegador siempre encendida la pantalla,yo lo enciendo y lo pongo en modo noche
4-tarjeta demasiado grande para el bolsillo y se abre el coche cuando pasas a su lado y cuando abres o cierrras puertas se encienden unos segundos la luz de posicion y eso molesta si estas denoche y quieres pasar desapercibido
5-incomodisimo que solo el conductor tenga elevalunas de 1 toque
6-molesto al acelerar y soltar acelerador el pomo de marchas se mueve alantet y atras
Hello, how much did it cost the modification?
Gonna modify my stepway as I’m too poor to get a duster, but all the mods are for the duster so it’s a pain.
Hello my friend
I want to buy the Renault Duster 2015 Adventure Edition Kit
Do you know where can I get it
Because I search and I can't find it
special to deliver to Egypt
Hello, no idea…
Wow, this is so interesting. Where can I get those roof bars, are they available yet? 😯
Como conseguisteis el soporte de rueda trasero, es fantastco
Fabricado por nosotros!
Did you have to lower the engine when using the suspension lift kit? One of the Romanian channels seems to think that the CV angle MUST be aligned correctly to avoid vibration through the driveline.
It depends on how much lift you had. For this kit its not necessary, for higher lifts yes it is advisable
You will always get vibrations even with the engine lowering
I am buying a 2023 2x4 Duster in UAE I would love it if I can have the opportunity to talk to you guys and request your support and advice … I wish to make it a proper off-road suv
Reach out to us on Instagram!
Hey, just curious, did you go through the process of legalizing the tire size?
Hello, no..
Can you share CAD drawings for the engine guard?
Are those roof bars for sale? I would love to see them on my Duster to carry a rooftent
They will be soon!!! Stay tuned
How does it handle on long trips on the road? You mentioned the steering is a bit stiffer but how about regular days
Handles great! This is my daily driver and I have absolutely no complaints. The heavier steering you only notice when transitioning from another car straight away, we are talking “slightly heavier” not like it doesn’t have power steering ahaha Cheers!
@@xpd44.outfitters hello, thanks for the reply! So it will be just a little bit stiffer due the suspension and new WIDER wheels?
@@dv2045 no! Everything is the same. It’s just the way Dacias are made. If you drive any older model Dacia it’s the same
Hello
Great mod ❤
Could you please remember type of springs ?
Thx!
What wheel and tire size did you use?
275/75/16
Hey guys! Keep it up! A question, did you do an engine lowering so that there aren’t any premature wear to other parts of the 4x4? That’s what I see some off-road people do.
Hello thanks for the support! Not necessary for just a 1in lift but you sure can for peace of mind! Cheers
Is the roof rack on sale yet? Thankssss
do you have a link to that led light bar?
Off brand from amazon..
Did you lower the engine? Because you used new shockabsorbers. Enjoying your journey
We did not. Only after a 50mm lift you start feeling the effects of increased cv angles like vibrations etc. It drives like it has always with our 30mm lift by 4x4proyect. Highly recommend this suspension set! Go check them out
Which engine do you have? And have you modified that too?
1.5dCi not yet but planning a tune soon
Hi guys, what's the story with the roof rack? Will you make one for the phase 2 duster?
We are in Morocco right now until the end of the month but its our number 1 priority when we return!
Any update? Especially with footage of the mounting process would be greatly appreciated
We are waiting for new videos from interesting adventures
Coming soon! Cheers
Great stuff, loving the mods. What about a bug guard on the hood? Also a minor thing, turn the volume down on the background music. it was quite loud for the video. Could still hear you guys ok though!
Never really saw the need for one tbh.. also not a very big fan of the looks. Thanks for the feedback!
@@xpd44.outfitters and what about WindDeflectors on the door windows? I did a swapout of the head unit to an android one so that I could get Android auto on it. Was an easy job to do as any 8inch screen type has the right mounting ports to install it straight away.
What tent you are using?
Gazelle Tents T4 Overland Edition
I don't know, you know!
how much gonna cost a rack like that? I need one, not so low profile, but here in greece they ask me to much money.
Also how many kilos you load , with the car in the highway?
Still figuring out the final cost of production but under 650eur.
We have loaded ours with around 100kg while driving highway and offroad and about 200kg stationary no problem.
@@xpd44.outfitters thats a good price.
@@xpd44.outfitters i made wrong question. I asked about the stock rails, not your new roof rack. That seems so steady.
I have no idea but I'm sure dacia has that info published somewhere out there
First my friend, low the music. We can't hear what you said (especially the not good English speakers) and trying, created a head pain.
I came hear searching, because i want to remove the rail racks to fit my rooftent, awing, water system and many more stuff.
You make a great job but with a flaw in my case, that's not have space to put the hand under to screwy the roof tent.
Probably i made me the BEST overlanding duster :p
Put me on the want list for the roofrack please!
Hey, I think your roof rails are really cool. Would you build them again and sell them?
We are already developing version 2.0 and they will be available for purchase!
@@xpd44.outfitters Great, do you already have a plan when it will be finished and how much it will cost? Will it also fit the new 2022 Duster?
@@philliphennig3060 should be ready by January! Depends on price of materials as they are constantly rising because of the war. As far as compatibility we are building this for the phase 1 or 2017 and before but will then make it available for the new version as well!
@@xpd44.outfitters hello, where we can purchase your roof rails? They are really cool.
I’m sure this is a good video but your editing needs some work. Background music makes listening to you narrate quite irritating. Gave up watching.
Thanks for the feedback. Check newer videos! Cheers
Nice video, but please turn down the music. Couldnt finish the video, to bad, it was interesting.
That music.... ugghhhh too loud! The rest, perfect! Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! The newer videos have that taken care of
Forget the cosmetics!!! You badly need a rear axle locker! And a front axle Torsen differential f!!! And lastly, chip-tune the engine for extra torque!!!
When we have some budget to spare lockers would be a great addition no doubt!
Poor tyre choice with BFG Ko2 for Dacia Duster... even dangerous on wet and cold roads!
There are way better AT tyres tested by Duster enthusiasts myself included. Overall great project!
KO2 working great for us in all kinds of terrains, wet or dry. Thanks for your support and feedback!
Unfortunately, this is not an optimal setup. Very little research done for a Duster size and weight. Let us give you an example, those tires are actually not recommended on a Duster due to their poor and dangerous wet asphalt emergency performance.... and so on
As far as the weight this Duster is sitting at a little over 2000kg with 4 adults and all the gear so the tires perform great in that aspect. We also have them on another vehicle (Jeep Wrangler) and they are great on and off road. Never had any problem on wet asphalt. When it comes to wet asphalt emergency braking no tire is great otherwise there wouldn't be so many accidents so we as of now this is the best tire for us and our setup. Regardless everyone has their experience and opinions and they are all welcome here! Thank you for your input but these tires work great for us
Don't forget to subscribe! Thank you 🙏🏽
Really interesting content but hate the music.
It’s was our second video ever… lessons have been learnt since 😂 please go ahead and watch our most recent videos! Thanks for the support
@xpd44.outfitters Don't worry, you had me at Duster :) stay cool.
@@xpd44.outfitters Não faz mal. 😀
Interesting video, but the repetitive music started to get annoying after a while.
Thanks for the feedback
Interesting but please get rid of the music.
This was one of our first videos… watch the more recent ones and this is corrected! Cheers
You need to show more of the car and the install and less of you. 80% of the video the camera was on you.
Thank you!
All I can hear is music... Can't concentrate on what you're saying.
This is one of out first ever videos.. corrected in the later ones. Cheers
@@xpd44.outfitters no worries :)
my duster is modified better, so pls change your title!
Leave away the sh... music and it will be much easier to understand what you are saying...🤨
This is our first ever video... newer ones are corrected. but thanks for the support!
"Music"?
No thanks.
Spoiled your video. 😢
Thanks for the support 👍🏽 Its a learning curve
Lose the music, adds absolutely nothing to the video and it is distracting and annoying!
Man stop talking and show the car properly
Please remove the background music from your videos, it's very irritating & unnecessary & I would rather hear what your saying.
This was one of our first videos ever! Please give us some slack for that 😂 this has been corrected in the more recent ones.. thanks for watching
