Do-it-yourself off-road preparation of the UAZ. UAZ for offroad. Preparation. Fuel line protection

Not so long ago, we thought about the UAZ and the nuances of its choice and acquisition. Now we will discuss the next stage - the refinement for off-road operation. After all, competent preparation will significantly increase the cross-country ability, and the wrong one will only use up money.

UAZ - preparation for off-road.
How to properly modify the "goat" for off-road.

Before proceeding with the preparation of the UAZ, you should decide on the concept. Because building an expeditionary at the same time, a "rogue" and a racing car will not work. Various brands and the models are more or less suitable for certain conditions. UAZ 469 and its modifications - machines for heavy off-road, their element is a minimum of asphalt, a maximum of dirt. In this article, I will give some tips on exactly what improvements should be done and in what sequence. Let us divide them into several groups according to their importance.

What you can't do without

The first thing to install on your SUV is mud wheels and a winch. If you travel a lot with one car, and there is no opportunity to immediately buy both wheels and a winch, it is better to start with a winch, because it is she who is able to remove a stuck SUV, the wheels help to get stuck less, but do not exclude this possibility, rather, on the contrary, provoke a ride on a dirtier track, which, as a rule, leads to the need to use a winch.

But in the final version, both a winch and wheels are needed. With the winch, everything is simple - an electric motor with a pulling force of 9500 lbr will be optimal for UAZ. Wheels are a little more complicated, but there are also ready-made recipes. For ordinary bridges (spicer, "collective farm"), the maximum size of the wheels that they can turn without difficulty is 33 inches; When installing a lowering kit in the transmission, you can put wheels up to 36 inches. Military bridges easily cope with 36 wheels in stock, and with a lowering row, they can easily spin wheels up to 38 inches and even larger.

33-inch tires are installed without cutting the body, a 6 cm body lift or a similar suspension lift is sufficient. To install larger wheels, in addition to the elevator, you will also need to cut the arches. You can not be limited to this and also cut the thresholds (by half the height of the step), and the standard fuel tanks dismantle, replacing with one of increased volume, installed in the rear of the SUV.

Also, the list of necessary equipment includes a snorkel (withdrawn air intake) - without it, there can be no talk of a little serious driving. You can read more about choosing and installing a snorkel in the gear and equipment section.

It would be nice to do

Using an electric winch will entail additional electricity costs, so it is advisable to install a second battery on the car. There is enough space under the hood of the UAZ, so that, having made simple fasteners, the second battery can be placed next to the standard one.

So that when driving through the fords, water does not get into the transmission, it is better to bring the breathers up (into the engine compartment or body cavities).

The standard light of the UAZ does not stand up to criticism, and when driving off-road in dark time days without good lighting equipment, everything can end badly. Therefore, it is worthwhile to attend to the installation of additional headlights and (or) modernization of existing ones.

To keep you safe windshield from branches and twigs, and striving to break it when driving through the forest, between the wings and the roof, or, if a power kit is planned, between the kangarin and the upper trunk, you can pull rails (branch fenders) from a metal cable. If the car does not initially have a power steering, then it must be installed when switching to wheels of increased dimension, because rotate on off-road lowered to minimum pressure mud tires of normal physical strength may not be enough. A steering damper will also do the trick. On the ceiling of the car, you can make several mesh pockets for equipment that is afraid of moisture, in order to surely protect it when passing deep fords. (If you think that the UAZ is sealed enough to prevent water from entering the cabin, then you are fatally mistaken.)

And of course, a touring car will benefit from radio communication and a navigation system.

One more useful revision is the outlet to the roof of the exhaust tract. The bottom of the UAZ has many technical holes and just slots through which carbon monoxide enters the car's interior, which can lead to fatal consequences. A roof muffler and sealed exhaust system protect you from poisoning.

Useful excesses

If you set yourself the task of turning your UAZ into not only a super-passable, but also a mega-comfortable SUV and are ready to put impressive money on the altar of this goal, then here is a list of additional alterations that certainly will not be superfluous in the fight against off-road conditions.

Remove brake drums and replace with disc brakes- this will help maintain efficiency brake system after passing water obstacles and relieves of the constant liner. The standard seats should be replaced with sports ones with moderate lateral and lower support, the floor and sides of the boat body should be sheathed with aluminum sheet through noise and heat insulation. So it will be much more comfortable in the cabin and, moreover, you will not have to spend money on a vacuum cleaner and dry cleaning of the cabin, the floor after driving through the mud is easily washed with a karcher. The machine can be equipped pneumatic system with pumping of wheels and the possibility of using pneumatic tools. Taillights and parking lights convert to diode - this will help to avoid constant shaking of light bulbs and loss of contact - UAZ disease.

There is so much you can do, your eyes widen, but don't rush to build, start driving standard car... Firstly, it will allow you to hone your off-road piloting skills, and secondly, you will be able to make decisions about the need for certain alterations based on your own experience.

UAZ 469 vehicles are reliable domestically produced vehicles. Tuning UAZ 469 is needed to improve the technical characteristics of the vehicle and create comfortable driving conditions. Many owners tune UAZ for hunting, fishing, long trips, going out into the countryside and other needs.

Some motorists tune the UAZ 469 on their own. There are a number of advantages to self-upgrading your vehicle:

The quality of work. When doing work with his own hands, the owner independently controls the entire work process. This allows you to perform work at a high level;
Uniqueness. After the modernization process, the car becomes unique;
Adaptation to specific tasks. The car owner can tune the car for the necessary purposes;
Comfort. For each person, comfort is determined by various details. Therefore, if you do the work yourself, you will be able to make the car comfortable for a particular person.

Before starting tuning, it is necessary to determine for what purpose the car will be used. When intending to travel long distances, the greatest attention should be paid to ride comfort. When upgrading a UAZ for hunting, fishing and other trips to nature, more attention should be paid to cross-country ability and versatility. There is an opportunity to perform tuning UAZ 469, suitable for trips on an asphalt surface and outdoor trips at the same time.

Tuning UAZ can be divided into several types:

Interior modernization. Allows you to make driving comfortable;
External tuning. Required to create a unique design and install protective structures;
Tuning power unit... It makes it possible to increase the power of the standard power plant;
Suspension and transmission modernization. Allows you to increase the performance of the vehicle.

Tuning UAZ 469 for hunting and off-road

When upgrading a vehicle for hunting, attention must be paid to improving the vehicle's cross-country ability on difficult sections of rough terrain. The vehicle must be adapted for off-road travel and meet the functional requirements of the hunter.

External tuning

When preparing a car for hunting, it is necessary to make the body parts resistant to blows from branches or stones. For this, the lower part of the UAZ body is sheathed with metal sheets. Thin sheets of aluminum or stainless steel are suitable. Once the sheets have been installed, layers of primer and paint can be applied.

REFERENCE: Some owners install a metal roof rack on the roof. It allows you to transport goods and protects the roof of the car from damage.

When traveling through forests, the UAZ windshield is protected from blows by branches. Protection is carried out in the form of two metal cables.

On one side, they are installed on the front of the wing, or on the "kengurin" on both sides of the car. The second part of the cables is attached in the area of the upper edge of the side windshield pillar. The cables are tensioned and fastened using specialized brackets. During the movement, the blow of the branches falls on the cables, and not on the windshield. You can also read about.

To protect the headlights and the radiator grille from branches and stones, a "kengurin" is installed. It is a frame made of metal pipes and rods. The product attaches to the bumper or directly to the vehicle frame and protects the front from impacts.

You can make the frame yourself or buy a ready-made version. There are two ways to make a frame:

With your own hands. This will require material, a welding machine and welding skills;
Consult a professional welder. The workers will make the product according to the provided drawing.

Winches for UAZ 469

Off-road tuning of the UAZ 469 provides for the installation of winches. They are installed on the front and rear bumper car.

IMPORTANT: Winches with a high-strength steel cable must be installed on a UAZ vehicle. The pulling force of the device should not be less than 5 tons.

The winch is a device made of electric motor and a reduction gear. Exists different models winches. Some of them have remotes remote control... The winch is attached to the bumper or car frame.

The standard bumper will not support the load when using the winch. Therefore, the owners set reinforced bumpers... They can be purchased or made by hand.

Folding windows UAZ 469

The manufacturer does not provide for power windows in the doors of the UAZ 469. The upper part of the door, together with the glass, is installed on bolts. This is inconvenient when using a car at high ambient temperatures. Some motorists solve this problem by installing the top of the door on movable hinges.

The awnings are installed on the outside of the door leaf. The hinges are fastened with bolts. The hinges allow the door extension to be folded outwards. This design makes it possible to quickly open windows if necessary.

Sunroof UAZ 469

To ensure good ventilation in the passenger compartment, the roof is equipped with a sunroof. The dimensions of the hatch depend on the role it plays. A small opening is sufficient for ventilation. In order to use the opening for hunting, manufacturers make a hatch large sizes... The dimensions of the opening must be calculated so that a person in warm clothes can freely fit in it.

The awnings are installed at the rear of the manhole cover. The cover can have three positions:

Completely enclosed. The cover completely covers the opening, preventing air from entering the car from outside;
Ajar. The front of the cover is raised above the opening. When the car is moving, the cover directs the air flow into the car interior. This ensures good ventilation while driving;
Completely open. The hatch cover is folded back as far as it will go. The opening is completely free, which allows a person to stand in the car at full height.

ATTENTION: To avoid cold getting into the passenger compartment, the hatch opening must have seals around the perimeter. To prevent the formation of condensation, a layer of waterproofing and thermal insulation is applied to the hatch cover.

Primary and secondary lighting

For driving in poor visibility, car owners replace the main headlights and install additional lighting. It can consist of headlights or LED modules. Unlike LED modules, headlights have a lower cost.

Lighting is installed on the "kengurin", bumper or on the roof of the car. When installed, the headlights are mounted on the inside of the protection. This prevents damage to the lighting fixture due to the ingress of branches or stones.

For hunting, the headlights on the roof are installed at an angle. This is necessary for lateral illumination. It is possible to install the finder headlight on the driver or passenger side. The headlamp lens does not have a diffuser mesh. This makes it possible to group a beam of light and shine at a great distance.

The headlamp finder is mounted on a movable bracket in the area of the lower edge of the windshield pillar. The back of the headlight is equipped with a handle. Using the handle, you can direct the light beam in the desired direction.

UAZ 469 salon tuning

Tuning UAZ 469 tilt allows you to make a convertible car. It is well suited for hunting in the summer. In winter, an awning is installed on the car to prevent cold air from entering the passenger compartment.

The curtainsider UAZ is equipped with a safety cage. It is made and installed on a car body. Safety arches protect the driver and passengers from death when the car rolls over. To facilitate boarding a UAZ vehicle, it is equipped with steps.

Interior modernization

Refinement of the interior allows you to make driving comfortable. Each owner modernizes the car interior at his own discretion. The result obtained during the modernization allows the car to be used for long-distance travel.

Before tuning the salon, you must remove all unnecessary elements. The standard cladding is dismantled. On the inside, a waterproofing compound is applied to the body. After applying the composition, sound insulation is glued. It reduces the noise level transmitted from the powertrain and the undercarriage of the machine.

When using the vehicle off-road, the inner lining is made of easily washable materials. These can be metal sheets or plastic panels. Some car owners cover the trim panels with leather or leatherette. This allows you to quickly clean the emerging dirt.

INTERESTING: The floor of an UAZ car is sheathed with metal sheets with a rough surface. This prevents the shoes from slipping on the floor when getting into the car.

Motorists are changing seats for more ergonomic ones. Fitting comfortable seats reduces driver fatigue during long journeys. The dimensions of the UAZ 469 car interior allow the installation of seats from various manufacturers. For convenience, an armrest is mounted between the front seats.

To increase comfort, front seats with electronic adjustment are installed. This makes it possible to set parameters for a person of any size. Rear seats set depending on the field of application of the machine. If the car is used for long trips to nature, they install seats that can be folded out, while forming berths.

Setting up the table

When using the car on expeditions, the rear of the cabin is equipped with a place for eating. For this on back door car mount a table. It is mounted on movable hinges and can be folded. When folded, the table is pressed against the door and fixed with latches.

While tuning the UAZ 469 salon with their own hands, many car owners modernize the dashboard and instrument panel. The dashboard is sheathed with easily washable materials, or the product is installed from cars of other brands.

The shield is supplemented with instrumentation. This enables the driver to monitor the operation of components and mechanisms when the vehicle is moving. The devices are equipped with illumination for use in the dark.

The steering wheel is being replaced with a more comfortable one. Steering column Equipped with a plastic housing and a combination switch. It includes windscreen wipers, near and high beam headlights, direction indicators.

Heater

For comfortable use of the car in the winter season, the standard heater is replaced. Install a device with a more powerful fan motor. This makes it possible to quickly warm up the interior at sub-zero ambient temperatures.

REFERENCE: The control panel for the stove from other cars is installed in the UAZ. This allows you to open the heater tap and regulate the air flow without being distracted from driving.

A panel is mounted in the upper part of the windshield. It is made in the form of a box. The panel can accommodate an audio tape recorder, speakers, and make compartments for carry-on luggage.

Modernization of the power unit

Some owners decide to tune the UAZ 469 engine. The engine installed by the manufacturer is reliable and unpretentious to the conditions of use. It starts up well at any ambient temperature.

Cooling system

The motor has a forced-type liquid cooling system. With aggressive use of the power plant in the hot season, the cooling system does not do the job well. To improve the cooling system:

Install a radiator with a higher throughput. This allows you to simultaneously cool a large amount of liquid;
Additional cooling fans are installed. The fan can be installed either additionally or instead of the standard one.

Central piston group

Some owners upgrade the engine by replacing piston group... For this, products of a larger diameter are selected. This allows the combustion chamber to be enlarged. To install pistons of a different diameter, it is necessary to bore the working cylinders.

Starter and alternator

The engine is started by an electric starter. Installation of a more powerful starter is possible. This will allow the powertrain flywheel to spin faster at startup.

Electrical power supply and charge rechargeable batteries when the engine is running, it is supplied from the generator direct current... It is belt driven by a pulley crankshaft... When installing additional lighting, a more powerful generator must be installed. A generator from a GAZ 53 car will do.

Modernization of the intake and exhaust tract

Obstacles to air intake and exhaust gas outlet from the power unit must be removed. Obstacles are formed where the gaskets are installed. The absence of thresholds allows the working mixture to flow freely into the combustion chamber. To improve the permeability of the air mass, UAZ owners install air filters from other cars.

Suspension and transmission

Modernization of the transmission and chassis of the vehicle improves off-road performance. To increase comfort, a spring front suspension with disc brakes is installed on the UAZ 469 car.

To modernize the undercarriage, the standard bridges are being replaced by the military. This allows you to increase ground clearance... Military bridges have a lower ratio, which has a positive effect on cross-country ability. Instead of standard wheels the car is equipped with oversized tires. The tread of the tires must be sized to handle poor quality surfaces.

ATTENTION: Mounting wheels with an increased diameter entails the need to modernize the wheel arches.

From the above, it follows that tuning the UAZ 469 allows you to improve specifications cars. You can upgrade your car for hunting, fishing and long distance travel. After modernization, the car becomes unique.

The UAZ prepared for serious off-roading is not only a good rogue, but also beautiful, stylish SUV, which attracts attention, makes passers-by turn around. Compared to preparation, prepared UAZ requires significantly less money for tuning. In Russia, the selection of spare parts for preparing a UAZ vehicle is increasing every year.

Here are some photos of the prepared UAZ vehicles ...

Completely redesigned UAZ by Soliton. It was developed as a snow-swamp vehicle with high cross-country ability, on K-58 wheels from an armored personnel carrier with bridges from the legendary GAZ-66. Disc brakes are installed on the axles. The high gear ratio of the main axle pairs provides unloading of the vehicle's transmission elements.

To obtain a smooth ride in the suspension of each wheel, double spring-damping blocks are used.

The vehicle's high stability is ensured by a low center of gravity. The tipping angle of the vehicle is 47 °.

The high seating position of the driver and passengers provides excellent visibility on the road and a very high passive safety... The car body is covered with four powerful wheels.

Zero overhangs provide phenomenal geometric off-road capability.

When driving on the roads and in the city, cars naturally keep in the stream, without creating the slightest discomfort for the driver. The dynamics of cars is quite acceptable for urban and suburban traffic.

Budget prepared UAZ Dragon

This UAZ has covered many hundreds of kilometers off-road, participated in competitions, but not professionally. A body and suspension lift was made, self-made bumpers and a trunk, a ComeUp winch, 35 maxxiss mudzilla wheels were installed. The UAZ initially had military bridges. With them, 35 wheels are much easier to turn than on other UAZ bridges.

Domestic car UAZ is actually a constructor that makes it possible to make a unique, functional off-road vehicle out of it.

Depending on the skills of the owner and the availability of finance, you can prepare a UAZ for absolutely any task, be it a forester's car or an expeditionary for long-distance and long-term autonomous travel.

How to properly modify the "goat" for off-road

In the last issue of our magazine (ORD No. 11/2011), we started a conversation about UAZ and the nuances of its choice and purchase. Now we will discuss the next stage - the refinement for off-road operation. After all, competent preparation will significantly increase the cross-country ability, and the wrong one will only use up money.

Before proceeding with the preparation of the UAZ, you should decide on the concept. Because building an expeditionary at the same time, a "rogue" and a racing car will not work. Different brands and models are more or less suited to certain conditions. UAZ 469 and its modifications are vehicles for heavy off-road, their element is a minimum of asphalt, a maximum of dirt. In this article, I will give some tips on exactly what improvements should be done and in what sequence. Let us divide them into several groups according to their importance.

What you can't do without

But in the final version, both a winch and wheels are needed. With the winch, everything is simple - an electric motor with a capacity of 9.5 liters will be optimal for UAZ. with. Wheels are a little more complicated, but there are also ready-made recipes. For ordinary bridges (spicer, "collective farm"), the maximum size of the wheels that they can turn without difficulty is 33 inches; When installing a lowering kit in the transmission, you can put wheels up to 36 inches. Military bridges easily cope with 36 wheels in stock, and with a lowering row, they can easily spin wheels up to 38 inches and even larger.

It would be nice to do

So that when driving through the fords, water does not get into the transmission, it is better to bring the breathers up (into the engine compartment or body cavities).

The standard light of the UAZ does not stand up to criticism, and when driving off-road at night without good lighting equipment, everything can end up badly. Therefore, it is worthwhile to attend to the installation of additional headlights and (or) modernization of existing ones.

To protect the windshield from branches and twigs, and those who strive to break it when driving through the forest, between the wings and the roof, or, if a power kit is planned, rails (splash guards) from a metal cable can be pulled between the kangarin and the upper trunk. If the car does not initially have a power steering, then it must be installed when switching to wheels of increased dimension, because it may not be enough to rotate mud tires lowered to minimum pressure on the off-road. A steering damper will also do the trick. On the ceiling of the car, you can make several mesh pockets for equipment that is afraid of moisture, in order to surely protect it when passing deep fords. (If you think that the UAZ is sealed enough to prevent water from entering the cabin, then you are fatally mistaken.)

And of course, a touring car will benefit from radio communication and a navigation system.

Useful excesses

Remove the brake drums and replace them with disc brakes - this will help maintain the efficiency of the braking system after passing water obstacles and will eliminate the constant liner of the pads. The standard seats should be replaced with sports ones with moderate lateral and lower support, the floor and sides of the boat body should be sheathed with aluminum sheet through noise and heat insulation. So it will be much more comfortable in the cabin and, moreover, you will not have to spend money on a vacuum cleaner and dry cleaning of the cabin, the floor after driving through the mud is easily washed with a karcher. The machine can be equipped with a pneumatic system with wheel inflation and the possibility of using pneumatic tools. The rear lights and side lights should be converted to diode ones - this will help to avoid constant shaking of bulbs and loss of contact - UAZ disease.

There is so much you can do, your eyes are dazzling, but don't rush to build, start driving a standard car. Firstly, it will allow you to hone your off-road piloting skills, and secondly, you will be able to make decisions about the need for certain alterations based on your own experience.

I'm scouting everything, for how much you can take the immediately prepared Oise Hunter - I really sympathize with this car, and after I was driven on it through such mud that I would not even stick there on a Chevrolet Niva, I decided that in the near future I will take Hunter.

The car is good for everyone, unpretentious, passable, a lot of opportunities for improvements on the road. Agree, an ordinary unprepared Hunter is kind of barrel-shaped, short. But it is only necessary to raise it (make a body and suspension lift) and put normal serious wheels (at least 33 inches) and appearance the car is transformed beyond recognition. In any case, you need to put close to extreme rubber, and it is worth wow. And all the modifications that will transform your UAZ and give it superiority over other cars in real off-road are very robust. And if you take, for example, a used car for 300k and modify it yourself, then in the end, for the money, it will result in a healthy amount equal to one more such cost.

But if you take the already modified one right away, then you can take it for an amount of up to 600 thousand rubles, although a year will no longer be the freshest, so 2004-2005. But if everything is done smartly, the old owner did not make the car for competitions, but purely for fishing and hunting, then such a car should be taken.

And the most important thing is that there are both petrol and diesel versions. Personally, I tend to think that a serious SUV should be diesel. Diesel engine- very high-torque at the bottom.

What can be the list of alterations and improvements:

- Body and suspension lift
- Cutting arches and under wide tires
- Normal steep wheels of 33 inches or more
- Locks - either self-blocks or forced
- Military bridges can be installed at all
- The main pairs are more abruptly than the regular ones
- front / rear with winches
- Damper installed
- Springs, springs, clutch, etc.
- Normal disc brakes
- Snorkel
- Sealing the cabin
- Roof rack / ladder
- Additional light - tank headlights, hella chandeliers and more
- Redesigned cooling system (copper radiator is all business)
— Exhaust system can also be changed (often made entirely of stainless steel)

And this is not the most full list rework. However, it's all very well worth it, and if you still use the services of masters, and not do it yourself, then in general how much money to pay for the installation of all this equipment. Really easier to find on Avito normal car, go with a rummaging man and see him. And buy a ready-made all-terrain vehicle.

I found several such copies in our city, I liked this one for 550k 2005:

What a handsome man, huh? All with him, tall, stately, in cool shoes. Just a feast for the eyes, and the list of improvements is no less than the one published above. Plus 2 sets of expensive rubber.

The most important thing is that all the modifications are included in the TCP and you don't have to mess around with the authorities. Everything is legal and ready for use. I would take this if there were money.

Now this is a normal Hunter, not a stock low barrel car. This is exactly what it should be in my understanding.

Oh yes, keep in mind that there are two modifications of the Hunter - an SUV and a convertible (when there is an awning behind instead of iron), if you go fishing in the fall / winter, then it is better to take an all-metal one.

I found another good variant for 600k, but already a convertible, but in 2012. The price tag also strongly depends on the city, in MSC all cars are cheaper, but the quality is the same there.
