I was looking for one like this where the real capabilities of the Duster are shown without any modifications or at least no lift kit as I can tell. I would appreciate also some simultaneous shots of the driver and from the inside with comments on which line you are taking, gear, throttle, breaking and so on. And I appreciate also the effort put into naming the locations. Thanks and keep it up. I have a 2022 model and have not yet done any off roading but will start soon now that I found that a skid plates for the EGR valve exists.

Most of my videos are from my 2015 and 2020 Duster the 2020 has a third party sump/skid guard that provides a bit of extra protection at the front but the ad blue sensor thing underneath has survived a lot of banging etc, I don't tend to do many videos of me talking I'm not so great at that I've tried lol, taking a certain line comes naturally when you work out what you might catch or get stuck on!

@@the_explorer_adam @the_explorer_adam so no skid plates for the tank the rear dif or the valve thingy at the exhaust (which is not an EGR valve)? amazing. I just always wonder how the carr in all these off road videos look in reality and feel on the road. I'm just a bit scared to break something and end up paying after having a few min of fun. I'm German living in the north of Italy. Unfortunately here the law is not on the side of off roading. And besides a 4x4 school I don't find any parks or official trails in my area. Regarding the talking I can guarantee its better than you thing yourself. Makes it more real and entertaining hearing someone speak. Even better when it's not perfect 😉

@philldownes86852 ай бұрын
i see so many green laners doing the exact same thing as you, they drive in the rutts. this is bad especially when its wet. drive to the left a bit when there is a chance to, this will give more grip plus will also flatten down the cetral piece of the lane. peopel sticking to the rutts are going to just make it harder for those who dont have so much ground clearance and eventually even alandi wont get through it..... if your going out in this type of weather then take a sieve with you and if you get stuck then chop down sone longer grass or brush by the sides and put that down not just under the wheels but also a bit further along to help with traction.... the rutts become so deep yo ucant even steer out of them unless its bone dry.... its good practice to keep to one side when traveling green lanes then if coming back the other way stick tothe left again. yo uget better traction and again help to flatten out the ground... if worse comes to worse a set of tire chains can even help in the mud, especial the ones from china that are like inside out cam belt to get grip... the duster is a very capable motor if its got the right tyres for off road mud bogging..... i think where yo uwent it done ok considering how you have it set up.

Hi, I plan my lanes to start as soon as the sun rises, I always have my mapping app up on the way to look at anything on the way. This was a few miles to the start of the day and was driven at 7:20am the sun on that day was rising at 8:06am as it rises before it gets to 8:06 the area is a lot brighter. I don't like night laning but after seeing at the start it was a wide track I decided to drive it and record it and 7:20 is a reasonable time, I don't have any additional lights so this was driven with the Dusters standard lights. I hope this helps.
