Off-road training Oise loaf. Tuning UAZ "loaf": hunting palace on wheels Convert UAZ loaf off-road

For many years we have been performing various tuning Loafs for our customers. During this time, many options for tuning this legendary SUV, including Dream loaf, a photo which were distributed over the network from our pages in social networks

Tuning Loaf Salon

The UAZ Loaf car, due to its cross-country ability, spacious interior and the possibility of quite tolerable living in it, is perfect for traveling, hunting and fishing with some refinement. All the same, this UAZ SUV was originally designed as a purely utilitarian one and still cannot boast of a comfortable interior. But always in our car service you can order Tuning Loaf Salon and get comfortable and high-quality workmanship new interior. Most often, we order the following services:

fabric upholstery of panels and ceiling Bukhaniki;
transforming bed;
sheathe the interior of the Loaf with aluminum;
install an additional interior heater Loaf;
install a hunting hatch on the roof for the shooter

Improving the patency of the Loaf

Since going hunting and fishing involves off-road, respectively, the main tuning of the Loaf is to improve cross-country ability and reliability. Improve the passability of the Loaf possible by the following activities:

install mud tires increased diameter;
make transmission tuning - install lowered main pairs and a lowered row in the transfer case;
install suspension lift and body lift;
put up a winch.

As a general rule, we suggest starting with either a Loaf Suspension Lift or a Body Lift (body lift with spacers) or both. It all depends on what size tires you plan to install.

We will immediately warn you that in order to install large rubber on the UAZ Loaf, in addition to tuning the suspension with a lift kit, you will need to trim the wheel arches! In addition, a too large lift raises the center of gravity of the car and increases the tendency to roll over. Therefore, we recommend increasing the wheelbase or even install bridges on Bukhanka with final drives. Here you can order hybrid gear axles, allowing not only to safely install 36-inch tires, but also to expand the track and increase the stability of the Loaf

To increase traction on the bottoms, there are sets of lowered main pairs in UAZ axles and sets of transfer gears that significantly increase gear ratio reduced.

Power kit Loaf

As a protective tuning, power bumpers and an expeditionary trunk are installed on the Loaf. The undoubted advantage of the Loaf over other more modern SUVs is the factory installation of metal bumpers. Thus, the owner does not need to register design changes with the traffic police when installing power bumpers. By the way, the obvious benefit from installing a power front bumper is the convenience of installing a winch in it. With the standard wagon layout of the Loaf without a power bumper, there is practically no space for installing a winch in front. The rear power bumper can also be equipped with a place for a winch, a spare wheel gate and a ladder for free access to the trunk.

Painting a Loaf

Well, the icing on the cake in tuning the Loaf will be its painting. There are also a huge number of options. The most popular is of course different kind painting Loafs in khaki. It’s understandable here, hunters don’t give themselves away, but since most often the hunting Loaf makes its way through the forest, the body paint also suffers from branches and dirt. Therefore, it became in demand in our service painting Loafs Raptro in khaki. This coating is tintable, so you can create any shades.

SUVs produced by UAZ have gained considerable popularity in the vast expanses of Russia, but many UAZs have one big drawback - a low level of comfort.

Also, cars of the UAZ 452/3303 series are not very convenient to use, so many car owners are trying to modernize the car by making various improvements to it. Tuning UAZ "loaf" - the topic is relevant, interesting to many motorists.

Off-road vehicles UAZ-452 are remarkable technical specifications, and the off-road car is practically unrivaled. UAZ "loaf" is one of those few cars that are not in a hurry to be scrapped, very often these cars are restored, tuning is done. Moreover, almost any components and parts in the car are subject to modernization, ranging from the interior and body, ending with the power unit, axles and suspension.

Unfortunately, the Ulyanovsk plant did not take much care of the comfort of the driver and passengers of the SUV, and often the owners of the cars have to bring the UAZ to mind on their own. Another drawback of the “loaf” is instability on the road at speeds over 90 kilometers per hour, but even here car owners are not lost, they modernize the suspension, change the castor (wheel angle).

What can you do with a loaf of your own hands:

make a front and rear suspension lift;
install a more powerful and high-torque motor on the machine;
equip the SUV with additional light;
change civilian bridges to military ones;
repaint the body in metallic, or apply airbrushing;
tinted side and rear windows;
change front and rear bumpers;
complete the car with a winch;
install a body kit - kanguring, roof rack, ladder to the back door;
change wheels to larger ones with better tread;
install a pre-heater in the car.

In general, you can still do a lot of things, the main thing is that for tuning the UAZ "loaf" with your own hands, there is enough imagination, skill and money.

Sitting in the UAZ on the “native” seats is extremely inconvenient, and when it comes to tuning the interior of the UAZ “loaf”, first of all, car owners change the seats in the car. It doesn’t make much sense to refine the “seats”, it’s easier to “introduce” chairs from some foreign car or Russian passenger car.

But there is one problem - there is very little space in the front passenger and driver's seats, and not all "foreign" seats will fit here. If we consider the "seats" from Russian cars, then seats from the "Oka", "Nine", "forty-first Moskvich" will enter the salon in front. True, spare parts from Russian cars do not differ in high quality, so it’s better to take chairs from foreign cars:

Mitsubishi Delica;
Honda Civic;
Toyota RAV4;
Opel Astra;
Volkswagen Passat B3.

The seats should not be wide, otherwise they do not fit in the cabin. But this is not the most important thing - it is important that they are not high, then it will be impossible to sit behind the wheel.

If the car goes on a long trip, such as fishing or hunting, it is important to organize comfortable sleeping places. Tuning the cabin for fishing also provides for the installation of a table at which one could dine during the trip. Of course, it’s nice to have a picnic on the shore, but the weather is not always good, and you can’t sit outside much in the rain.

It is equally important to carry out normal lighting in the rear passenger compartment - again, the “native” light leaves much to be desired. But here it should be borne in mind that a large number of interior ceiling lamps “eat up” a lot of electricity, so even a fairly good battery can be easily planted. There is a way out of their situation, you need to put LED lights instead of ordinary light bulbs, and they have many advantages:

little electricity is consumed;
LED lamps look aesthetically pleasing;
illuminate the LEDs brighter;
These bulbs are much more durable.

There is also a drawback - LEDs are noticeably more expensive, but once you install such lighting, you can forget about replacing light bulbs for a long time.

Another drawback of the UAZ is the stubby standard steering wheel, and many drivers do not like it. You can try to replace the steering wheel with something of a better quality, but there is one problem here - the steering wheel is not easy to pick up by slots. Many car owners put the steering wheel from the Gazelle, but without alteration it turns out to be too high. Specially adapted steering wheels for UAZs are sold in car dealerships, they are the easiest to change. Another option is to install the steering wheel assembly with the steering column, then everything will definitely fit in the mounts. If there is no desire and opportunity to mess with the steering wheel alteration, you can put a braid on the rim, it will also fit from the Gazelle.

The instrument panel of the UAZ “loaf” looks quite primitive, and in order to somehow improve it, some car owners paste over the “tidy” with a film. You can also put a dashboard from a GAZ-3110 or Gazelle, but there will already be more alterations here.

External tuning "Loaf"

UAZ 3303 - very durable and reliable car, however, the body and body elements it is susceptible to corrosion. First of all, the doors, body frame, and floor begin to rot. If rust has gone through the body, repairs are required, and welding is indispensable here. After work, the body of the loaf is treated with a composition of red lead with drying oil, and there are also special tools for processing body iron.

After welding and straightening work, body painting is required, but painting the car in a standard green color is not interesting. UAZs are tuned in different ways, and on the roads you can often see “loaves” of tuning:

A body kit plays a significant role in tuning, and it is needed not only for beauty:

kanguring and power bumpers protect the body from impacts;
roof rack allows you to unload the interior of the car, take more cargo with you.

Body kit elements for external tuning for UAZ can be bought at car dealerships, the most popular is RIF products. On the factory-made power front bumper, you can attach a mechanical or electric winch, which is simply necessary in off-road conditions.

Also, the roof rack is not for beauty, but you still want it to look aesthetically pleasing. To make cute homemade trunk, you need to have locksmith skills and experience, and without a certain skill it is still better to buy finished products in car dealerships. Factory forwarding trunks brackets are provided for installing additional light, the factory product is able to withstand a load of up to 200-300 kg. In addition to its main task to transport goods, the trunk also performs additional functions:

protects the roof from all kinds of damage;
serves to accommodate additional light lanterns;
can carry a spare tire, for this a special mount is provided on the trunk.

Additional light is of great importance on the UAZ, it is rather problematic to move in the dark without good powerful headlights. Additional light is installed not only on the roof, but also in front, on the power bumper (kenguring). It is best to install LED headlights, they have a number of advantages:

LED lamps last a very long time, the service life of the lamps is from 25 to 50 thousand hours;
the lighting is bright, close to natural light;
LEDs consume very little energy, approximately 10-15 times less than halogen lamps.

But LEDs also have their drawbacks - for the time being, lighting devices of this type are quite expensive, and if the LEDs burn out, you have to change the entire headlight.

Some motorists ask the question - why do we need off-road tuning if the UAZ already has a very good cross-country ability? Of course, the “loaf” is well adapted to rough terrain, however, it can get bogged down in impassable mud. To make it easier to overcome roads, the suspension of the UAZ 452/ 3303/ 3962 car and other modifications is subjected to lifting - with the help of special spacers under the springs increases ground clearance.

It should be noted that in order to increase the clearance, it is possible to carry out not only a suspension lift, but also from the body itself. In order to raise the body relative to the road, additional spacers are laid between the chassis and the frame. The frame is attached to the body with ten bolts and nuts, but sometimes it is not easy to unscrew the fasteners, since the nuts and bolts become rusty over time, and sometimes it can be quite problematic to dismantle them.

You can carry out a suspension lift using additional leaf springs, as well as installing spacers between the axles and springs (they also put elongated spring earrings). Car shops sell special lifting kits, and you can increase the ground clearance to different heights - 20, 30, 40 and 50 millimeters. But if you are going to lift the body high relative to the road, it must be borne in mind that in this case the car loses stability, and there is a danger of overturning.

Old UAZ-452 models were equipped with the engine of the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant UMZ-451, as well as other modifications of the ICE produced by UMZ (414/417/4178). Later on UAZ "loaves" appeared ICEs of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant, such as ZMZ-402 (4021) and ZMZ-409. Ulyanovsk motors of the first releases hardly make sense to upgrade, in the event of an engine failure, it is easier to replace it. But motors ZMZ tuning, and not so rare.

What needs to be done to increase the power of the "402" engine in garage conditions? If the motor has a deformed block head 98 mm high (ZMZ-4021), you can mill the surface of the cylinder head, remove 4 mm. Thus, the motor will be adapted to run on AI-92 gasoline. When assembling the piston group, it does not hurt to adjust all pistons and connecting rods by weight, the difference between the connecting rod-piston pair in all cylinders by weight should not exceed 5 grams. Also, to reduce friction between the sleeve and the piston, the piston skirts can be polished with fine sandpaper (No. 1000), but this is done when they are in no hurry to assemble the engine, since it will take a lot of time to polish. It will also be harmless to cut the intake holes in the manifold, as well as in the head of the block, with a cutter - a few horsepower will be added.

Some car owners bore cylinder liners for +1 mm repair pistons, although there is a +1.5 mm repair on Zavolzhsky 402 engines, but it is quite rare. The bore of the sleeves gives a slight increase in the volume of the cylinders, respectively, and power.

The most popular type of modernization of the ZMZ-409 is chip tuning. To do this, the firmware changes in the internal combustion engine control unit, which also helps to improve the technical characteristics of the motor and increase power.

Replacing the engine with a more advanced one is also a tuning option, many car owners seek to install a more modern engine, but it does not always have to be larger. An internal combustion engine with a large volume does not consume fuel very economically, and therefore often the owners of cars put a diesel engine on the UAZ, which has two main advantages over a gasoline engine:

diesel fuel consumption is noticeably less;
diesel ICE has better traction with the same cylinder volume with a gasoline engine.

Russian ZMZ diesel engines are not very reliable, therefore, imported power units are considered to replace the gasoline engine. Often, motors are installed on the UAZ "loaves":

TD27 (Nissan, 2.7 L);
OM616 (Mercedes, 2.4 l);
1KZ (Toyota, 3.0 l).

As a rule, an imported motor is paired with a foreign gearbox and transfer case, so it becomes necessary to adjust the units to the bridges and make changes to the suspension. Of course, it is possible to put a modern turbodiesel, for example, Cummins 2.8, on a “loaf”, but such a power unit is expensive, and it does not tolerate Russian diesel fuel well.

One of the most pleasant properties of all model range UAZ, and specifically loaves, is that they provide almost unlimited possibilities for transforming a car. Thanks to a very successful platform and low cost, very successful experiments can be put on the car, which contribute to improving their driving performance and the ability to boldly experiment with the design and tuning of the cabin. You can make sure of the different variations of tuning made by craftsmen with your own hands by watching the video:

Important! Although tuning can be stylish for trips around cities, in most cases a loaf is used precisely as a car for outdoor activities on off-road, fishing, hunting. Therefore, the article will consider variations and the main problems when tuning under 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 onboard parts of the machine;
trunk for transporting things;
installation of a crane and additional means of loading / unloading;
means of lighting;
reinforced suspension and shock absorbers;
winches;
bumpers and kenguryatnik;
reworking the filling.

Machine Board

What is 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 traveling off-road or when looking for fishing spots, side parts are reinforced with stainless aluminum, followed by painting in the color of the environment or military camouflage. When covering the loaf on their own, the design of the sides of the machine with an aluminum profile from the bottom to the door handle is used. What the primary result looks like, on which some craftsmen stop, can be seen in this photo:

Trunk

Like every machine that is used to travel 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. For many this is enough, but not for everyone. There are people who just like to carry a lot of things with them, and there are those who do it in reserve. Such people decide to protect themselves from lack of space by establishing during tuning a trunk that is significant in its area. 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 off the paint, reducing its visual appeal. In addition to clearly useful qualities, such an addition, in combination with enlarged wheels, also pleases with a more respectful appearance of the car. Here is a photo of a good UAZ Loaf trunk:

Warning! The trunk during tuning shifts the center of gravity up, so before installing it, you need to calculate whether it will harm the car. Also, due to the shifted center of gravity, it is necessary to be careful when cornering, since with a strong skid, the chances of the car turning over increase.

Mini crane for trunk

The car itself is quite high, and throwing things on the upper trunk, and especially heavy things, is very difficult purely physically. To simplify this task, either manual means of lifting heavy things are used, in the form of a manual lever system, or a manually assembled mini-crane, which help to do the job with less effort. For those who do not want to work on creating 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 ensure that the weight of the load being lifted does not tear off the trunk or cause the car to roll over. The cranes after tuning look like this:

Suspension and shock absorbers

It is clear that when adding additional parts that will make the car heavier, it cannot do without increasing the margin of safety - after all, it will be very unfortunate if 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 separately so that they are very well made if they were not made in specialized tuning centers for UAZ Bukhanok, but with their own hands. After improvement, motorists share their experiences, one of the best looks like this:

Many car owners are unhappy with their native bridge, and replace it. It is often replaced by an extended one, which is removed from Bars. This is such a popular tuning action that it deserves a separate mention in the article. The differentials are also being replaced with ones that have increased friction to avoid situations where the car gets stuck in the mud and slip, and also favors the long life of the transmission. After all, a broken transmission disrupted more than one plan even for trained off-road travelers.

Lighting aids

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

Winches

Since such machines as a loaf are used in their mass 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 simply 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, but there is no way to turn the car around. This is perhaps the only advantage. If you put a 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 is very difficult - after all, they will turn around, say, in a swamp and not also fall into a quagmire - it is not an easy task. However, they can also add aesthetic beauty if done carefully with your own hands when tuning a loaf.

Bumpers and bumpers

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

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

Also, for additional protection of the bumper and loaf engine, kenguryatniks are used. Due to their simplicity in design and manufacture, they can be made for tuning with the help of a few stainless pipes and the ability to solder. In addition, it is much easier to remake them, in the 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.

Changing car stuffing

No matter how good the car is, you can always find what to improve in it during tuning. You should start from the automotive heart of the loaf - the engine. On the loaves are installed injection engines old design. They satisfy many in their own way. driving performance who are beyond praise, but there are individuals who believe that there is no limit to perfection. Whether to replace the engine during tuning or not is up to the owner himself, but for our off-road it is enough for him.

If the engine is replaced only at will, then there are separate tuning fads that almost everyone performs. Among them are the installation of wider rims along with wide loaf tires to reduce pressure on the road (or off-road, this is already a service to look at) and avoid the situation when the car “sits its belly on the road”.

Conclusion

Of course, there are a lot of all kinds of options and variations for tuning this wonderful and truly universal car, and the description given in the article is just one of them. But that was not the point of the article at all. 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 that will show and tell about one of these loaves, which was described in the article, and which is designed for fishing and off-road:

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

Indeed, to connect front wheel 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 we first consider relevant examples tuning salon UAZ.

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 archi-correct, as Lenin would say, decision.

driver's seat in UAZ serial production is shifted relative to the axis of the steering column to the left. The most ingenious tuning developments move the seat close to the engine compartment lid. To make the hood raised without difficulty, the seat is easily removable.

The urgent need is to replace the bulky regular steering wheel UAZ past years of production on a compact steering wheel from a car. The installation of a hydraulic booster facilitates the use of a small diameter steering wheel.

In trends tuningdashboard UAZ two directions are being looked at. Adherents of ceremonial brilliance veneer everything that can be reached with corrugated aluminum sheet.

Since the one and a half millimeter aluminum is attached to the metal of the body on top of the plastic noise insulation, the car becomes noticeably quieter. Facilitates cleaning and UAZ trunk. With proper professionalism of the performers, the aesthetics of the interior increase.

Admirers of ergonomic comfort use safety materials. The complication of forms benefits the initially inexpressive interior. Places for appliances and storage boxes on such a panel are larger than before. Converted UAZ Much better than the original version!

Turning the engine cover into a sundry tray is an inexpensive and extremely useful makeover.

Keeping abreast of all vehicle systems is the most important task for 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, a radio tape recorder, a stationary radio station and other auxiliary electronics. Use it! Options for reforming the upper space of the cab " loaves"- a great many!

The console, built symmetrically to the engine compartment, will help to place a lot 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 the installation of additional heaters!

Heating tuning UAZ 452

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

True, all the hardships and hardships fell on the lot of the front riders. AT back « loaves”, as a rule, at any time of the year, the temperature was close to the outboard. That's why tuning UAZ 452 always accompanied by the installation of an autonomous heater for the passenger compartment. True, sometimes the alteration takes extreme forms ...

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

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

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

To make the cabin quiet

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

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

Tuning equipment salon UAZ 452

If desired, in body UAZ 452 you can install a wardrobe and a double bed, which in the daytime transforms 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 and an electric stove will harmoniously complement the comfort of travelers in UAZ 452.

In most cases " loaf» is used for trips to places where an inflatable mattress is enough for sleeping, and a cooking pot over a fire replaces the kitchen. Fishing and hunting option tuning UAZ 452 Today, it is in demand more than ever!

A wide top hatch is the most necessary accessory of a hunting car. The stern click of the shutter, sounding from the roof UAZ "loaves", able to confuse both the elk and the bear, and even a car inspector. In addition, the hatch will serve as a saving way out if the hunt did not go according to the script and the participants in the action mixed up 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 isolation UAZ trunk there is a entrenching tool, a spare tire. Arms and ammunition can be transported in lockable boxes under the compartment floor.

The game, however, has one unpleasant feature ... Many animals (and fish) have such a strong smell that it is impossible to transport them inside the car.

Trunk and other canopies UAZ 452

UAZ roof rack able to help out in a variety of situations. In addition to transporting a considerable load, an external trunk can become a platform for arranging a sit-in. 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 while crossing dense undergrowth.

But there is one danger. In user circles, the idea of installing on trunk UAZ 452 winches with electric drive.

Do not make a fatal mistake! Do not install on trunk "loaves" winches! Otherwise, removing from the roof, for example, a spare tire, usually dumped - and that's it! - turns 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;

Climb up, wind the rope;

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

Get off the roof.

However, all this is just healthy physical education. The highlight of the interaction with any winch, devoid of a mechanical rope layer, is the sheave, that is, the jamming of a tightly wound cable among semi-free turns. Eliminating pulling is an all-consuming attraction, but traumatic for the hands and dangerous for the psyche.

For what UAZ trunk definitely worth using - so it's for installing additional headlights. Your business is 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 so shines LED optics for SUVs.

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

It is better to start changing the interior with the replacement of regular, hard seats. Alternatively, fit modern, soft chairs. This is very important, because the basic version of the seats in domestic off-road conditions can shake out “all the spirit” from the passengers. You will need to completely dismantle the old chairs, modify and select the option of soft seats you like, and, as a result, install them.

The process is not difficult, it is quite possible to do it yourself. Optionally, you can also install "models" with electric drive and heating.

Sound insulation of the cabin

At the next stage, it is carried out, and the elements of the instrument panel are also fastened. Factory rattling and widespread scattering have become reliable and constant companions this car. Perhaps many do not know that the motor in the "UAZ" is located between the passenger and driver's seats and it is covered with a large shield in the form of a huge armrest.

One can only imagine what kind of noise is created inside. This shield is sheathed with dermantine. When conducting this shield and the tunnel, which is located near the gearbox, the following actions should be taken:

you don’t need to disassemble anything, you just have to remove the leatherette coating (you’ll have to tinker, because it is riveted to the shield);
the rivets will need to be drilled, the leatherette removed and the motor shield washed, which then need to be degreased with white spirit;
the outer surface of the metal should be pasted over with a sheet of bimast bombs (probably many have it at hand). FROM inside bottom you can use gold vibroplast;
on top is 8 mm splen, which needs to be covered with dermantine. It should be put on new rivets. Ultimately, everything should fit perfectly;
the place in the immediate vicinity of the gearbox should also be treated with gold vibroplast, and a “figure eight” splenium should be placed on top. Do not forget about leatherette cover for the gearbox.

The entire tuning of the UAZ Loaf dashboard, most often, consists of finishing it with wooden inserts or in such a way as in the photo. Often during the car complete with additional glove compartments, shelves and ashtrays.

Same Special attention it is worth giving the steering wheel. You can replace the standard version with an imported analogue, which has a soft upholstery made of fabric or leather. It is important that it is sufficiently ergonomic and comfortable for the driver. This novelty must be carefully fixed on the rail. This will prevent the steering wheel from failing at the wrong time.

Engine tuning UAZ Loaf: do you need chip tuning?

Many lovers of domestic SUVs invest a lot of money and effort in tuning the UAZ Loaf engine and other cars they own. This is done in order to give them more advanced and modern characteristics. You can often hear the question: why improve something in such cars? Are they not going to be used in racing?

The answer is simple enough. UAZ factory engines are very impractical. As a result, the models are tuned power unit. But it should be noted that each brand separately requires individual settings. For example, the engine will not be similar to the modifications of the Patriot engine.

Today I would like to talk about two engine tuning options for the UAZ Loaf.

1. The first option is to install a universal engine for all UAZ models. Namely: a standard gasoline engine is replaced with a diesel unit. Practically ideal solution here will be the installation of the Andoria engine. This device is the development of the company of the same name. She assembles engines based on the upgraded Perkins engine. It meets Euro 2 standards, and in terms of quality it complies with international ISO 9001 certificates. Andoria is perfect for replacing a factory engine with a UAZ Loaf, and no special alterations are required.

The main positives to note are:

Andoria engine provides excellent performance and, importantly, the movement of the machine at low speeds.
such a motor, in difficult conditions, behaves much better than the factory one;
the Andoria engine, at low temperatures, has improved start-up performance (it may be necessary to replace the standard battery with a slightly more powerful one - 75A);
the Andoria power unit produces less noise than domestic counterparts;
during the optimal operating mode, this engine is more economical than the factory version, it is not so prone to “classic” breakdowns from low-quality fuel;
the engine has world quality certificates.

2. Today it is no secret to anyone that the UAZ Bukhanka is a rather obsolete morally and technically vehicle. However, oddly enough, in accordance with the requirements of domestic legislation, they began to equip it with an engine with electronic system control, as well as disc front brakes. The opinions of many owners on this matter were divided.

And if for the majority the second innovation is acceptable, then the residents of villages and villages have a number of questions about a motor with an electronic control system (UAZ Bukhanka is a new concept here). Many complain that there is no previous traction, and it is problematic to maintain such a car on your own. As a result, the issue of refining or even changing the engine comes to the fore. And in this situation, many equip the car with a diesel “heart”.

Now I would like to talk about an interesting node with diesel engine, which was offered by the company "Galagrin". Tuning itself involves replacing the standard engine with a new one being presented.

However, the results of this innovation are as follows:

After the modernization of the UAZ Loaf, it turns out to be not quite ordinary: in its appearance there is not a large amount of off-road equipment, but everything you need for a comfortable ride is here.
In the cabin, under the cover is a diesel engine from Isuzu (model 4JG2 is called). This 3.1-liter (turbocharged) engine develops 130 hp. with mechanical injection pump. The torque is 300Nm.
The transmission is also completely different from the regular one. The torque leaving the engine goes to five-speed box gears. This is very useful for an engine that develops lower revs than a gasoline unit. With a "diesel heart" UAZ Bukhanka will be able to move much faster and will be better controlled.

Other options for tuning UAZ Loaf do it yourself

Today it is very fashionable to carry out all sorts of alterations of a historical car, UAZ, which among the people received an interesting nickname "Loaf" for its appearance. It should be noted that the process of tuning it is not so complicated as it might seem at first glance, when looking at various photos.

All it takes is to listen to a few useful tips and practical advice below.

To drive over rough terrain, SUVs are often equipped with 33rd rubber, which, however, does not quite fit the UAZ Loaf: about 10 centimeters are missing. As a result, it is necessary to raise the body relative to the frame. To do this, add four hockey pucks to each mount, and fill the space between the springs and bridges with 12-centimeter spacers.

After a kind of body lift, the transfer levers should be determined at the same height. For this purpose, a special platform can be welded to the frame under the so-called silumin base of the levers.

Often, when tuning this car, standard factory shock absorbers are replaced with stiffer springs, which reduces the vertical travel of the wheel, and also increases the stability of the whole vehicle. However, at the same time, it is imperative to replace the levers and bushings, since regular standard parts will not last long with a reinforced suspension.

The front springs are the weakest link in the suspension. They can be strengthened as follows: weld platforms on the bridges, and add glasses to the frame. You can also install additional springs, for example, from the VAZ-2104. Worth installing as well.

Certain complaints from fans of off-road driving are also caused by regular brake system presented car. Usually they try to completely change it. Popular is the replacement for brakes from the GAZ-24.

They have a master brake cylinder, which, during installation, must be connected to: the brake pedal through a link and rocker, and then securely fastened to the frame; and spaced vacuum, which should be located near the dispenser levers. The working brake cylinders on the UAZ Loaf can be changed to self-adjusting ones. (The video shows a slight modification of the UAZ Loaf bumper).
