Salon UAZ loaf for hunting. UAZ for trouble-free hunting and fishing

This utility vehicle is characterized by increased reliability, good off-road maneuverability and adaptability to extreme operation. But going out into nature is not the same as fishing or hunting, especially for a few days. For these purposes, the UAZ 452 itself, often referred to as a "loaf", and its interior are not quite suitable, first of all, in terms of practicality, convenience and comfort.

We will figure out how to correctly tune the UAZ 452 "Loafs", what to take into account, change, modernize in its design so that it best suits local conditions and the specifics of its application. And most importantly - what can be done on their own, and if with the involvement of professionals, then only for individual works.

Camouflage body color

Standard tinting options do not differ in variety. To “disguise” the UAZ 452 as much as possible, you only need to have a sprayer and a little paint on hand. Since camouflage is done depending on the season, and it has to be changed regularly, the cheapest composition is sufficient. In this case, the issues of layer reliability, coating durability and similar nuances are irrelevant.

Experienced fishermen and hunters advise to slightly strengthen the body before painting. Driving over rough terrain, in a rut, especially in poor visibility conditions - all this is fraught with numerous impacts on the lower part of the side of stones, tree roots, hemp, and so on. The gradual deformation of the metal will lead to its destruction, including as a result of progressive corrosion. Sheets of aluminum, fixed to the bottom of the "loaf" (by about half a meter) will cost much less than repairing it and completely repainting it.

Power bumper

These protective elements of the machine are attached to the front and rear. According to experts, they provide maximum safety when driving off-road. It will take a little - metal (sheet steel, channel or pipes, depending on the design) and polymer paint.

And all this can be done by yourself, without contacting a car service.

Mirrors protection

The expediency of installing such grids is obvious. Any large branch - and you will have to change the glass or align the holder (and then if you can do it).

Winch

You definitely can't do without it. It is hardly worth hoping for someone's help far from settlements and roads. For UAZ 452, winches with a force of 4 tons or more are suitable (taking into account the workload of the machine). A not bad option is a device from Comeupwinch (DV-9 series). Its reliability has been tested many times, and with proper installation, the mechanism will function reliably for decades.

Pay attention to the winch cable. It is desirable to replace the existing metal with a Kevlar one (for example, Amsteel Blue by the American company Samson or similar). It is lighter, stronger, and safer to use.

Trunk

When going out into nature, a hunter and a fisherman need a lot. It will not work to load everything into the salon if there are people in it. What to do with tents, sleeping bags and the rest. The optimal solution is to place the UAZ 452 on the roof.

Lighting

Even if a swivel headlight is included in the factory package, then it will not be enough when going outdoors. One of the good solutions for additional lighting is to install an LED panel on the roof of the "loaf". For example, "VisionX" modification of the X-Mitter (shown in the photo). It will provide good visibility for at least 250 m.

Or do it like this.

The bracket can be made from pipes, but it is not difficult to fix it.

UAZ 452 salon tuning

Interior decoration

One of the budget options is to attach moisture-resistant plywood over the sheathing. It will slightly insulate the body of the "loaf" and improve the quality of its sound insulation. Other materials can be used at the request of the owner. For example, rolled foamed foam. The choice is great.

Backlight

It is advisable to install a couple of LED spotlights or one small panel on the ceiling, since the standard lighting will clearly not be enough.

Furnishings

A few examples will be enough to understand how you can improve the interior design of the UAZ 452.

The problem of storing dishes, various utensils, gadgets and other little things, which is indispensable for hunting and fishing, has been completely solved with such tuning. Naturally, it is better to make a folding table, the tabletop of which is attached to the wall during the movement of the "loaf".

Heater

Judging by the reviews of many hunters and fishermen, the "Webasto" installation has proven itself well. With a power of 4 kW, it is enough to ensure a comfortable temperature in the cabin even in winter. Although a home-made "potbelly stove" is a good solution to the problem.

It is desirable to zone the salon. In this case, the rear compartment can be used as a small luggage compartment. For example, hunters will be able to store weapons there, fishermen - their tackle.

It should be taken into account that both fish and game are also smells that penetrate into the cabin. To level them out, the rear compartment can be equipped like this.

It will not hurt in the UAZ 452 cabin and the acoustic system, which is quite simple to mount.

The article discusses only some of the tuning options when preparing the "loaf" for fishing or hunting. It all depends on the capabilities of its owner and imagination. A number of other improvements can also be made.

  • Replace the steering wheel with a smaller one from a car. But you will definitely have to install a power steering.
  • Move (for convenience) the driver's seat to the right, close to the engine compartment.
  • Finish the cabin and interior with sheet aluminum, placing sound insulation material under it. The issue of aesthetics is a separate topic, but the fact that cleaning will be much easier (and a lot of dust and dirt will be applied on fishing or hunting) is unambiguous.
  • Upgrade the engine compartment hood. For example, like this.

The conversion is extremely useful, especially when driving long distances.

There are also more complex options. For example, "raise" the car, at the same time replacing the rubber, thereby increasing the track.

Think, decide, do - and your UAZ 452 will become a real house on wheels for the hunter and fisherman.

One of the most pleasant properties of both the entire model range of UAZ and specifically the loaf is that they provide almost unlimited possibilities for transforming the car. Thanks to a very successful platform and low cost, very successful experiments can be made over the car, which contribute to improving their driving performance and the ability to safely experiment with the design and tuning of the interior. You can be convinced of the difference in tuning variations made with your own hands by folk craftsmen by watching the video:

Important! Although tuning can be stylish for city trips, the loaf is in most cases used precisely as a car for off-road outdoor activities, fishing, and hunting. Therefore, the article will consider the variations and the main problems when tuning for wildlife.

What can be used as tuning for a loaf? It all depends on the personal imagination of each person, but there are the most popular loaf options. There will be a review about them:

  • tuning the side parts of the car;
  • trunk for transporting things;
  • installation of a crane and additional means of loading / unloading;
  • lighting means;
  • reinforced suspension and shock absorbers;
  • winches;
  • bumpers and kenguryatnik;
  • redoing the filling.

Car board

What kind of tuning without changing the standard factory paint and sides? To further increase the strength, as well as counteract the negative influences of nature, which are inevitable when driving off-road or when looking for places for fishing, the side parts are strengthened with stainless aluminum, followed by painting in the color of the environment or in military camouflage. When covering a loaf on our own, the sides of the machine are decorated with an aluminum profile from the bottom to the door handle. What the primary result looks like, which some craftsmen stop at, can be seen in this photo:

Trunk

As with any machine that is used for trips in difficult conditions, as well as for hunting and fishing, a significant amount of free space is needed in which to carry the necessary gear. UAZ loaf, thanks to its own factory parameters in the cabin, can provide the necessary space. This is enough for many, but not for everyone. There are people who just like to carry a lot of things with them, and there are those who do in reserve. Such people decide to protect themselves from lack of space by installing a large trunk during tuning. It must be said that he fully justifies the tasks assigned to him regarding the provision of additional space.

The trunk itself has a number of other properties, in addition to providing usable space. It is primarily used to protect the roof of a car from tree branches that can easily scratch it and peel paint off, reducing its visual appeal. In addition to clearly useful qualities, such an addition, in combination with enlarged wheels, pleases with a more respectful look of the car. Here is a photo of a good trunk "UAZ Loaf":

Warning! When tuning, the trunk shifts the center of gravity upwards, therefore, before installing it, you need to calculate whether it will harm the car. Also, due to the shifted center of gravity, you must be careful when cornering, since with a strong skid, the chances of the car turning over increase.

Mini Trunk Crane

The car itself is quite high, and it is very difficult to put things on the upper trunk, and especially heavy things, from a purely physical point of view. To simplify such a task, either manual means of lifting heavy things, in the form of a manual system of levers, or a hand-assembled mini-crane are used, which help to do the job with less force. For those who do not want to work on the creation of their own crane for the UAZ Bukhanka car, mini-cranes have been developed and are being sold, most of the modifications of which can easily load a load weighing up to 50 kilograms onto the trunk. They can pull even more, but at the same time, safety precautions should be observed and that the weight of the load being lifted does not rip off the trunk or cause the car to roll over. After tuning, the cranes look like this:

Suspension and shock absorbers

It is clear that by adding additional parts that will make the car heavier, it cannot do without increasing the safety margin - it will be very regrettable if the shock absorbers fail tens or hundreds of kilometers from civilization. And this is at best, the most harmless. Therefore, the suspension and shock absorber should be monitored in a separate way so that they are very well made, if they were made not in specialized UAZ Loaf tuning centers, but with their own hands. After improvement, motorists share their best practices, one of the best looks like this:

Many car owners are unhappy with their own bridge and replace it. It is often replaced by an extended one, which is removed from Barça. This is such a popular tuning action that it deserves a separate mention in the article. Differentials are also replaced with those that have increased friction, to avoid situations when the car gets stuck in the mud and slips, and also favors the long service life of the transmission. After all, a broken transmission disrupted more than just the plans of even trained off-road travelers.

Lighting means

For those vehicles that are planned to be used at night or on long trips, at least for several days, additional lighting can be installed, in addition to ordinary car headlights. The strength of the loaf's construction is so great that even small spotlights can be installed during tuning. The main question that needs to be solved by the craftsman is how to provide him with electricity in the conditions of off-road and lack of human settlements. But, given that most people put them on the trunks, then the power supply may also be there. In addition, the installation of additional equipment allows you to illuminate the road not only in front of you, but also to shine on the sides, so as not to miss a standing sign or other mark for travelers on the domestic UAZ Bukhanka car. An example of such an implementation is shown in the photo below:

Winches

Since such cars as a loaf are used in their mass for off-road, and often as part of a group, it will be useful to equip them during tuning with winches, with which you can pull the car out of the quagmire or just drag it if it stalls. For practical use, winches are installed in 2 places: in front or behind. What are the differences in their practical use? Front winches are very valuable if you need to pull the car out and you cannot turn the car. This is perhaps the only advantage. If you put the rear winch, then such a machine can not only pull out, but also drag it in tow, if there is no special towing channel. At the same time, the possibility of using it on the ground with difficult passage conditions, very difficult to fulfill - after all, they will deploy, say, in a swamp and not get into a bog, too - is not an easy task. In doing so, they can also add aesthetic beauty if done carefully with your own hands when tuning the loaf.

Bumpers and kenguryatniki

Reinforced bumpers can be installed only on a car that has a frame structure, and UAZ Loaf does not just have it, but has a time-tested and various conditions. Reinforced bumpers are usually understood to be made of steel, which can effectively protect the car from collisions with fallen trees, stumps or light collisions with other cars.

Reinforced bumpers are of two types: front and rear. They protect the front and rear parts of the vehicle body, respectively. Due to their relative cheapness, they are more valuable to reduce costs, since they allow you to spend less money than on car body repairs. Individual craftsmen do not buy power bumpers, but create them for tuning a loaf with their own hands. In such cases, aesthetic qualities are usually silent, but some works are really worthy of praise.

Also, for additional protection of the bumper and the engine of the loaf, kenguryatniks are used. Due to their simplicity in design and manufacture, they can be made for tuning with the help of several stainless pipes and the ability to solder. In addition, it is much easier to remake them in case of an unsuccessful execution design. Kenguryatniki can be used not only as additional protection, but also as a place for a spare wheel, which can be seen in the photo above.

Change of car filling

No matter how good the car is, you can always find what to improve in it during tuning. Start from the automotive heart of the loaf - the engine. The loaves are equipped with old-style injection engines. They satisfy many in their driving characteristics, which are beyond praise, but there are also individuals who believe that there is no limit to perfection. To replace the engine during tuning or not - it is only the owner himself who decides, but for our off-road it is enough for him.

If the engine is replaced only at will, then there are individual tuning points that do almost everything. Among them, the installation of wider discs along with wide tires for the loaf, in order to reduce the pressure on the road (or off-road, this is already a matter of operation) and to avoid the situation when the car "sits belly on the road."

Conclusion

Of course, there are a lot of all sorts of options and variations in tuning this wonderful and truly universal car, and the description given in the article is just one of them. But this was not at all the main thing in the article. The main thing was to convey the idea that the UAZ Loaf is a simple car, and any person who is friends with tools and is not afraid of work can significantly improve its cross-country ability and quality during tuning. What kind of loaf will turn out is up to those who are working on improving it, on its appearance and technical characteristics, but one thing can be said - with straight hands during tuning, you will get an excellent car that can easily run more than one thousand kilometers without problems. And finally, a video in which it will be shown and told about one of such loaves that was described in the article, and which is intended for fishing and off-road:

The domestic legendary SUV UAZ-452 has been produced since 1965. It is one of the oldest Russian cars, which undergoes all kinds of modernization and is found on the roads today. Tuning "Loafs" for hunting and fishing is the most popular and practical version of the modification of the machine in question. Consider ways to improve, far from the most ideal, but very passable vehicle.

general information

In the standard version, the UAZ-452 has long been popular with hunting and fishing enthusiasts. Tuning "Loaf" for these purposes makes it possible to create an almost ideal transport that overcomes any off-road, along with decent internal comfort and practicality. The advantage of the machine is the simplicity of its design, which gives an endless field for actions to modernize it, both internally and externally.

Quite good cross-country performance and a fairly well-thought-out chassis are an additional incentive for tuning UAZ "Loafs" for hunting and fishing. In principle, the specified car can also be adjusted for urban conditions, although this direction is rarely chosen by fans of modernizing domestic cars. Conversions usually start with the interior fittings, as the SUV's interior and soundproofing don't stand up to scrutiny.

History of creation

UAZ-452 ("Loaf", "Tablet", "Goat", "Tadpole") was created as a universal transport that could be used as a van, ambulance, truck, special transport. Most of the designers who worked on the creation of the car were from GAZ. They decided to combine compact dimensions, asceticism of the cabin, focusing on increased cross-country ability.

At that time, the idea was realized almost one hundred percent. An inexpensive, easy-to-maintain and picky car has taken root not only in government agencies, but also among private owners. Hunters and fishermen who hunt in hard-to-reach places were especially carried away by this transport.

Tuning UAZ "Loafs" for hunting and fishing step by step

Most often, modernization starts in the salon. Usually, the interior of a car is restored in the following sequence:

  1. Old seats are removed and new analogues are installed, often imported.
  2. Change the dashboard to a modern and more informative version.
  3. Install original partitions between the driver's seat and the passenger compartment.
  4. Carry out tinted glass.
  5. The inside is sheathed with corrugated aluminum sheets.
  6. Improves the sound insulation of the car.
  7. Additional shelves, niches, handrails are mounted.
  8. Change the steering wheel to a sports version.
  9. The trim is made of leather or quality substitutes.

Among other innovations, the technical equipment of the salon, if only there is enough strength and money. This includes:

  • air conditioning;
  • multimedia system;
  • navigator;
  • additional lighting elements;
  • installation of a ventilation hatch.

Tuning the UAZ "Loafs" salon for hunting and fishing (photo below) is vital for this car. Taking into account obsolescence and minimal equipment, the standard interior equipment does not stand up to criticism, even basic comfort is lacking.

Sheathing with corrugated aluminum sheet

The legendary SUV of domestic production must be sheathed inside with a more durable material than carpet. There are several options for how to perform tuning "Loaf" for hunting and fishing in this regard. Popular materials include:

  1. Steel sheets.
  2. Plywood.
  3. Wood.
  4. Aluminum elements.

Among these elements, the most practical is aluminum, since it does not rot and is not afraid of corrosive processes. In addition, it is lightweight, easy to process, and has a beautiful appearance.

Noise isolation

The next stage in tuning the "Loaf" for hunting and fishing will be noise isolation of the car. The standard equipment is very weak, at high speed there is such a noise in the cabin that passengers have to shout to hear each other.

To enhance the sound insulation of the car, first take out all the old elements and plywood, dismantle the floor. If traces of rust are visible on metal parts after disassembly, they are cleaned, treated with a grinder, primed, painted. Next, the floor is covered with bitumen, the joints are treated with a special silicone-based sealant. All surfaces are pre-cleaned from dust and dirt.

A polyethylene sheet five millimeters thick is laid on the floor, on top of which new plywood is covered. The third layer is linoleum. Further tuning of UAZ "Loafs" for hunting and fishing continues from the roof. Remove the lining of the ceiling, all the surfaces to be treated are thoroughly cleaned and tinted. Vibration-insulating materials are mounted in a standard way, sheathed with plywood or aluminum profile on top.

Tuning UAZ "Loafs" for hunting and fishing with photos

In the picture below, you can see how you can modernize the car in question externally with your own hands or with the help of specialists.

Among the manipulations:

  • front and rear suspension backlash correction.
  • installation of additional lighting devices;
  • replacement of the "native" motor with a more powerful power unit;
  • replacement of standard bridges with army analogues;
  • tinted glass;
  • application to the body of the original color scheme or airbrushing;
  • bumper replacement;
  • top trunk, stairs to the back door;
  • installation of wheels of larger diameter;
  • introduction of a preheater.

Alteration of the passenger compartment

On a long journey off-road, the car interior often becomes a second home. In this regard, tuning UAZ "Loafs" for hunting and fishing step by step (photo) is presented below:

  1. Installation of lockers and compartments for personal belongings.
  2. Top hatch inset for ventilation and good natural light.
  3. Installation of LED strips instead of lighting lamps.
  4. Change of chairs to imported versions or their hauling with modern materials.
  5. The same story with the walls and floor of the cabin.

findings

One of the most pleasant features of the UAZ "Bukhanka" model range is tuning for hunting and fishing, which can be carried out almost indefinitely with wide possibilities. It all depends on the imagination and financial capabilities of the person, as well as the main purpose of the machine. Since the vehicle has a low cost and minimal equipment with an increased cross-country rate, very original and successful experiments can be made over it, related to the modification of almost all the components of the machine. The owners focus on the interior design and chassis of the domestic SUV. Correctly carried out modernization makes it possible to significantly increase the comfort of movement, which is important when overcoming off-road in remote areas.

A car known to Russians as UAZ 452 "loaf", was created as a vehicle for escorting a tank column. The body of the minibus, designed to overcome tank ruts, turned out to be durable, although uncomfortable. Well, service in the army is not a vacation in a sanatorium! But in the running relation " loaf»Proved to be flawless: easily withstanding cruising 80-90 km / h on asphalt, at a reduced speed UAZ without hesitation overcame off-road.

True, to connect the front drive, the driver had to jump out of the cab and bend over with a wrench at the wheel hubs, but after the tightness of the driver's seat, such a warm-up is a joy!

Alas! The biggest problem UAZ 452 - user inconvenience. That is why, first of all, we consider actual examples tuning of the UAZ salon.

UAZ "loaf" gains comfort

When designing a cabin UAZ the designers were guided by the anthropometric data of the soldiers of the early 50s. There is nothing surprising in the fact that our tall contemporaries do not fit well into the standards of the middle of the last century. So start tuning UAZ "loaf" with the modernization of the driver's seat - an extremely correct, as Lenin would say, a decision.

Driver's seat in UAZserial production is offset from the steering column axis to the left. The most ingenious tuning designs move the seat against the engine compartment lid. To make the hood lift without difficulty, the seat is easily removable.

Replacing the bulky stock steering wheel is an urgent need. UAZlast years of release on a compact steering wheel from a passenger car. The installation of the power steering facilitates the use of a small diameter steering wheel.

In trends tuningdashboard UAZ two directions are visible. The adherents of ceremonial splendor cover everything that can be reached with corrugated aluminum sheet.

Since 1.5mm aluminum is attached to the metal of the body on top of plastic noise insulation, the car becomes noticeably quieter. Cleaning of the interior is made easier and trunk of UAZ... With the proper professionalism of the performers, the aesthetics of the interior increases.

Admirers of ergonomic comfort use injury-safe materials. The complication of forms is beneficial to the initially expressionless salon. The space for instruments and glove boxes on such a panel is larger than before. Converted UAZ much more convenient than the original version!

Converting the engine compartment lid into a small items tray is an inexpensive and extremely useful redesign.

Keeping your finger on the pulse of all vehicle systems is the most important task of the driver UAZ 452... Easy-to-read instrument readings are the key to confident control of equipment in the most difficult conditions!

Above the windshield, there is a place suitable for placing speakers, radio, stationary radio and other auxiliary electronics. Use it! Options for reforming the upper cabin space " loaves"- a great many!

The console, built symmetrically to the engine compartment, will help place a variety of information screens and control knobs for the heating system - more precisely, heating systems. Complete tuning UAZ "loaf", especially for hunting and fishing, is impossible without installing additional heaters!

Heating tuning UAZ 452

Experienced drivers know: in terms of thermal regime, an old one UAZ 452 - a machine of infernal cunning! In frosty winters, the engine, open from below to all winds, was hypothermic, and therefore the driver did not allow themselves to aggravate the situation by heating the cab. In the summer, the engine, being hidden from the blow-through, overheated - and in order to drive, and not boil, the drivers turned on the stove ...

True, all the hardships and hardships fell to the lot of the front riders. IN body « loaves», As a rule, at any time of the year the temperature remained close to the outboard temperature. That's why tuning UAZ 452 always accompanied by the installation of an auxiliary heater for the passenger compartment. True, sometimes the alteration takes extreme forms ...

Potbelly stove behind the driver's back? Such tuning UAZ may seem ridiculous. However, the method can be justified, firstly, by driving on the taiga off-road - after all, there is more firewood in the forest than gasoline. And secondly, a wood-burning stove (though not a stove after all) is quite suitable for heating a caravan.

In all other cases, an autonomous vehicle interior heater that runs on liquid fuel helps.

Problems inherent in thermoregulation of the old 72-strong uAZ engine, disappear with the replacement of the motor with a new 98-horsepower model.

So that the cabin becomes quiet

Corrugated aluminum sheet, widely used in off-road tuning (take a look at the interior of the tuned Niva on the page), helps to reduce the noise level in the cab UAZ 452.

The popular and relatively inexpensive one and a half millimeter sheet of corrugated aluminum is of little use for laying on the floor of a car - due to its natural plasticity and instability to abrasive wear.

Tuning equipment of the UAZ 452 salon

If desired in body of UAZ 452 you can install a wardrobe and a double bed, which in the daytime is transformed into other pieces of upholstered furniture.

A kitchen corner with a small refrigerator (in the photo it is blue), a container with drinking water, a microwave oven and an electric stove will harmoniously complement the comfort of those traveling in UAZ 452.

In most cases " loaf»Is used for travel to places where an air mattress is sufficient for sleeping, and a kettle over a fire replaces the kitchen. Fishing and hunting option tuning UAZ 452 today is in demand more than ever!

The wide upper hatch is a necessary accessory for the hunting vehicle. Harsh shutter click sounding from the roof UAZ "loaves", able to embarrass both elk and bear, and even a car inspector... In addition, the hatch will serve as a saving exit if the hunt did not go according to the script and the participants in the action confused who should be chasing whom.

Prey hunting, successful fishing - these are trophies! And the trophies need to be put somewhere. Experienced hunters provide a well-closing prey compartment in the car. Often in isolated the trunk of the UAZ there is a trench tool, a spare wheel. Weapons and ammunition can be transported in lockers under the floor of the compartment.

The game, however, has one unpleasant feature ... Many animals (and even fish) have such a pungent smell that there is no way to transport them inside the car.

Trunk and other awnings for UAZ 452

Roof rack for UAZable to help out in a wide variety of situations. In addition to transporting a considerable load, the outer trunk can become a platform for arranging an ambush. It can be covered with an awning and used as a safe sleeping place during the warm season. Besides, trunk for UAZ protects the roof from damage when crossing dense thickets.

But there is one danger. In user circles, the idea of \u200b\u200binstalling on the trunk of the UAZ 452 electric winches.

Don't make a fatal mistake! Do not install on the trunk of the "loaf" winches! Otherwise, removing from the roof, for example, a spare tire, which is usually dropped - and that's it! - will turn into a long and difficult adventure.

To remove the spare wheel with a winch, you will have to:

Climb up and bring the device into working position;

Hook the wheel;

Lower the wheel to the ground;

Go down to unhook the wheel;

Go upstairs, wind up the rope;

Return the device from the working position to the transport position;

Get off the roof.

However, all this is only physical education useful for health. The highlight of interaction with any winch, devoid of a mechanical rope stacker, is flaking, that is, jamming of a tightly wound cable among semi-free turns. Eliminating sagging is an all-consuming fun activity, but traumatic for the hands and dangerous for the psyche.

For what uAZ trunk definitely worth using - so this is to install additional headlights. It's up to you to put several scattered light sources or mount a ready-made block. You will find several successful options for tuning "chandeliers" in the article on the page.

It looks like this ...

And this is how LED optics for SUVs shine.

We have touched on only a few aspects tuning UAZ... Follow the site updates, and you will receive a lot of useful recommendations regarding tuning UAZ different models.


10.12.2015

The EXTREM-NN club company, which prepares off-road vehicles and special equipment for travel, hunting, fishing and sports, presented one of the tuning options for one of the most popular cars among fishermen and hunters - UAZ BUKHANKA.

Installed on the car

  • Suspension lift
  • Painting with Raptor in Khaki color
  • Front and rear power bumper OJ with tow bar
  • Disc brakes on front and rear axles
  • VAL Racing Interwheel Differential Locks
  • Electric winch STOKRAT HD9,5WP with synthetic rope
  • ProLight Extreme LED light bar on front bumper
  • Work light Vision-X 25Wt on the rear trunk
  • Insulated cargo hold
  • Sleeper convertible salon
  • Chests-lockers for placing rigging and equipment
  • Cabin heater Webasto Air Top
  • Mickey Tompson tires 265/75/16
  • OPTIMA Blue Top 75A Gel Battery
  • Emergency power disconnect switches
  • Powerful Pioneer audio system with BT and hands-free phone communication (external microphone). Blaupunkt acoustics



It was necessary to increase the permeability of the loaf oise and at the same time maintain comfort, aesthetics and reliability.


Let's start with the body, transmission, and outside.

The body, like most of the "forest" cars prepared by our workshop, after thorough preparation, was painted with the Raptor compound in khaki, so that hunters would not bother when driving on overgrown roads in the forest. But this is not the only reason. Upon a detailed examination, we found that the factory paintwork of a car that came off the assembly line a couple of months ago flies and cracks with slight deformation. No primer was found under the paint. In fact, this did not surprise us, since we are already accustomed to the lack of culture and quality of production in the domestic auto industry. We simply buy a blank and complete it. But for that kind of money, there is simply no alternative to such an all-wheel drive bus. Therefore, you can accept. We do not consider the old furry Mitsubishi Delikas and Hayes.


As practice has shown, these bumpers are best adapted for installation on Ulyanovsk off-road vehicles. In front there is a STOKRAT HD9,5WP winch. The winch is equipped with oil seals for the motor and gearbox, has a powerful 7.0hp engine. and high stands - which accordingly increases the volume of the drum. This is a very important indicator. Especially when the entire cable reels to one edge when rolling sideways. A synthetic rope is wound on the winch, which is passed through an aluminum hawse. Conventional rollers that come with a steel cable cannot be used with synthetics due to the cable biting in the corners of the frame and its damage. This model of the winch is ready to come to the rescue in the most extreme situations and will work even when completely submerged under water.

The LED bar ProLight extreme has taken its place on the bumper kangaring to make the darkest night brighter. Fans of cheap medydinchin ask: - Why do we usually choose Prolight? After all, now there are a lot of Chinese "analogs" on the market of "chandelier construction". Yes, ProLight is quite an expensive brand. And if we compare it with Chinese copies, clones and just similar LED optics noname, which allegedly declare similar characteristics, then Prolight and Vision X are generally at the price of "rocket fuel" :) But over the years of building machines, our numerous tests of LED optics of different price ranges , we came to the conclusion that Prolight still wins. Culture and build quality, endurance, manufacturability of drivers and LEDs (although Chinese manufacturers of cheap light write the same thing :)). And not the last factor in choosing a Prolight is an impeccable guarantee - almost everything that happens to the optics is a guarantee moment. And no one will argue that you have been stuck under water for a long time, connected incorrectly, the car's electrical system is faulty. This is the same as choosing a fur coat made of natural or artificial fur. It's just that reputation is more expensive, and reliability is proven by time!

Gearbox on a loaf of Dymos, gears are included quietly and easily. The front and rear axles are equipped with disc brakes with ABS. The braking performance is excellent. This nightmare with brakes on the UAZ is now a thing of the archaic past.
