Made by the author for a special order. The future owner wished to make some kind of crossing of a regular UAZA with a gas-66 and add to this composition more wheels and a few gadgets for better off-road cross-country ability. The model of such an all-terrain vehicle has undeniable advantages due to the bridges, which are virtually indestructible even under the most terrible operating conditions. In addition, they have blocking and swapping, which is also very important.
A very controversial project, even in my far from technical point of view, but nevertheless it was born.
Consider the mechanisms and materials used in this all-terrain vehicle:
1) engine internal combustion left from the UAZ.
2) Manual gearbox from Gas -66
3) Front and rear axle from the same Gaz-66
4) The author used A-trans with dimensions of 1300 by 700 as wheels.
Let's consider in detail the most basic manipulations and improvements of the all-terrain vehicle.
First you need to familiarize yourself with the frame of the structure, after all, there are two completely different cars both in terms of characteristics and class, they had to combine into one indestructible composition on a new frame.
The image below shows the structure of the frame, or rather, its bottom view:
After the construction of the frame, the author began to install the basic elements of any all-terrain vehicle, and cars too.
In order to better understand the device of the all-terrain vehicle, as well as understand the stability of the machine, you need to look at the location of the engine. After all, it is the all-terrain vehicle engine that carries the bulk of the entire structure.
Main power unit ATV already installed on the frame:
For a comfortable ride on bumps and bumps, as well as for greater durability and reliability of the structure, it is necessary to reduce the load on the frame and axles, and this can only be achieved by installing a shock absorption system.
Therefore, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the photo attached below, in which you can see in detail the rear spring mount:
Unfortunately, the front spring mount in the photo is seen rather poorly, but best quality the author did not provide. I can only say that the author had problems regarding the difference in width, however, the solution was about the same as for the rear spring, so the mount looks almost the same.
As for the wheels, everything is fine. The selected rubber is probably only inferior in weight to the best tires from TREKOL, but thanks to these tires we can say that everything will be in order with the axles and they will last a long time. And because of the TREKOL, there is an increased load on the bridges, therefore, choosing reliability, the author decided to abandon them.
By the way, here is a photo of the process of installing the wheels, look at the difference in size between the usual one from the UAZ and the wheel of an all-terrain vehicle:
It looks very impressive and the difference is noticeable both in appearance and in the qualities of cross-country ability.
What are the advantages besides an interesting design and impressive appearance does this model all-terrain vehicle?
One of the author's good ideas was the decision to use side boxes, which can be seen on the sides of the frame, at the bottom. These side boxes are hollow inside, that is, they are filled with air. This was necessary so that the all-terrain vehicle could move not only on land, but also on water. That is, it is these boxes that provide the buoyancy of the all-terrain vehicle. Actually, thanks to this solution, thinner wheels could be used than TREKOL.
As already mentioned, the main feature of the all-terrain vehicle in reliable and non-kill bridges from Gaz-66, their excellent qualities (as well as the build quality) are proved by the fact that during the year of intensive operation of the all-terrain vehicle, no problems were found regarding the bridges of the all-terrain vehicle.

This is not the first all-terrain vehicle from the VEKTOR4X4 company, but one of the few in which UAZ roots can be easily guessed.
All-terrain vehicle " Vector U-469"created on the basis of the UAZ Hunter car
However, he was not just given "big" wheels, he was a little "conjured"
To keep the pedal assembly unchanged, I had to front axle move forward, and to save rear doors, push the rear axle back. As a result, the wheelbase has increased by 600mm (but now the approach angle has become generally negative)
New mounts
The frame of the car was lengthened and reinforced.
To install large wheels required a body lift, spacers, 60mm
The choice of tires was determined by the purpose of the snow and swamp-going vehicle - it will have to drive on the roads of Yakutia. Tundra, swamps are his element.
Accordingly, the all-terrain vehicle must float.
Buoyancy and provide huge tires. Plus, in wheel rims... buoyancy blocks are located. This allows for less sediment on the water and protects the discs from excessive dirt.
Wheels with a diameter of 21 " self-made equipped with badlocks.
To cover up such big wheels made new wheel arches
They are reinforced from the inside with a square profile so that they can be walked on.
For operation in Yakutia, work was carried out to insulate the car. The ceiling, doors and floor are covered with heat-insulating materials. They did not make double glazing, that was the customer's wish.
Work was carried out to treat the bottom and interior of the car with anti-corrosion compounds.
A power bumper of the RIF company is installed in front. An additional LED light is mounted on the bumper.
In a regular place power bumper there is an electric winch Come Up 9500 in a sealed design
Power thresholds manufactured by RIF are installed on the sides
To them, for the convenience of getting into the high cabin, special steps are welded
Since the frame of the all-terrain vehicle has become longer, a cargo platform has turned out to be at the back. With the help of it, it became more convenient to load a tall car.
Hunter's swing door remained unchanged.
Inside the standard 5 seats.
Under rear seats a compressor station based on Berkut-24 was located
A compressor station is needed for the wheel inflation system and for the control of pneumatic locks.
The main "highlight" of the all-terrain vehicle is the original wheel reduction gears with a reduction of 2.8.
The gearboxes are serially manufactured by Vector4x4 itself and are intended for installation on UAZ, TOYOTA, NISSAN, JEEP vehicles with tires over low pressure sizes up to 1600 mm or extreme mud rubber (bogger, simex) up to 44 inches.
Gearbox housing made of duralumin alloy D16T, gears from agricultural machinery that have undergone careful rejection, semi-axles of the original design.
The gearboxes have an inlet for the pneumatic line for pumping the wheels.
Centralized wheel inflation control. Directly from the cab, you can adjust the pressure from 0.1 atm for movement on marshy terrain and up to 1.2 atm for movement on public roads.
Pneumatic lines:
Disc brakes are installed at the front and rear.
Interlocks are also controlled from the cockpit. Indicators for the inclusion of locks are displayed on the dashboard
Itself dashboard remained practically unchanged
Steering of a snow and swamp-going vehicle with a hydraulic booster.
The steering arm is reinforced.
The standard 5-speed gearbox, GP and RCP also remained unchanged.
Only the driveshafts, due to the lengthened base of the car, had to be redone. They were lengthened, increased in diameter and rebalanced.
Everything is standard under the hood of the all-terrain vehicle
Gasoline engine ZMZ-409
The engine compartment is covered with special mud flaps on the sides. This protects against the ingress of dirt.
The all-terrain vehicle is equipped with a hunting hatch.
In order to feel for ourselves what control of an all-terrain vehicle is, we went to the vastness of the NATI test site.
There are ascents, descents, snowdrifts and ravines.
Need to say. that the Vector U-469 is controlled easily, like a regular UAZ.
It is clear that due to the decrease final drives the speed will be less, but this is partially compensated big wheels.
As befits an all-terrain vehicle on low-pressure tires, the machine has a smooth ride. Small irregularities are swallowed by soft tires.
Rolled ups and downs, the all-terrain vehicle passed with a working pressure of 0.6 without straining.
For virgin soil, the wheels were vented to 0.3.
The only obstacle that the all-terrain vehicle did not obey was the slope of the coast of an artificial reservoir. A couple of meters before the top, the wheels tore off the snow cover, and ice underneath. There was no longer enough wheel grip, and the inertia that could help has long since dried up. So any vehicle needs a winch off-road!
Pleased with the presence of cross-axle locks. Without them, the all-terrain vehicle could fall into a trap even with a small diagonal hanging. And so: turned on two levers and drove off as if nothing had happened.
But changing the pressure in the wheels takes time. It takes 10-15 minutes to inflate or deflate all four wheels.
But there is time to eat. As if a table was made in the back specially for this :)
Snow and swamp-going vehicle " Vector U-469"is positioned as a more budgetary analogue of TREKOL.
In rural areas and on suburban highways, it is quite difficult to drive. The seasons of rainy, mounds of snow and mud can pose serious problems for movement. Because of this, more and more people are thinking about purchasing an all-terrain vehicle. Since such a vehicle has a rather high cost, it is common practice to create all-terrain vehicles based on UAZ on their own.
Change beyond recognition
Usually to create vehicle high cross-country ability, it is enough to use spare parts from an old car or motor vehicles. UAZ is best suited for this. This machine most often lends itself to various processing and modernization by "craftsmen".
For the work itself you will need:
- use aluminum sheets with corrugated edges (needed for cladding);
- buy pads of metal and rubber type;
- screws and synthetic rugs;
- have enough foam rubber;
- triplex glass;
- small amount of soft plastic;
- tools necessary for work.
Carrying out such modernization of the machine significantly reduces the cost of the entire structure. In addition, if the work is done correctly, the UAZ all-terrain vehicle will be no less effective than its expensive counterpart.
Work instructions
To create a transport structure with high traffic, you will need to fasten the outer skin and frame. Since the base is used from the car, ready homemade all-terrain vehicles based on UAZ should be durable. So, it is better to use steel materials such as pipes, since they will be subject to a lot of stress. It is important to take into account the insulation from moisture if a do-it-yourself swamp vehicle is created on the basis of the UAZ.
In some cases, when it is impossible to weld pipes or buy them, it is quite possible to use the original body from the car. In practice, the body is often modified to give it the desired look. But the main attention is required to strengthen the "sidewall" and the roof of the structure. The bottom needs to be strengthened, because it takes on part of the load.
Plating process
To create an all-terrain vehicle from UAZ with your own hands, you need to remove the old skin. This stage can be carried out while strengthening the body. The material is chosen from corrugated duralumin or aluminum. Most often, they make a choice in favor of the first option. It is able to withstand the harmful effects of weather conditions and is corrosion resistant.
Corrugated sheets increase the strength. When starting to choose them, it is necessary to take into account that the thickness of the material is 1.5–2 mm. The sheets are fastened with M5 screws, which cling to the frame with special heads. Of course, it will not be possible to create a maximum density between the frame and corrugated sheets... There will be sloppy marks after work, so you need to use rubber pads.
As a rule, the trim on a homemade all-terrain vehicle from an UAZ is the most vulnerable spot. If performed poorly, the entire vehicle structure can be made vulnerable to environmental influences. Silicone can also be used at the attachment points for better insulation.
Engineering works
Great attention should be paid to the camber when the axle is being assembled. It is important to weld the lower parts first and then the upper parts of the bearings. Then they are bolted to the frame. It is also important to use telescopic shock absorbers and clamps to optimize ride comfort.
It is worth considering the purpose of the vehicle. If you need a UAZ-based swamp vehicle, you need to use a different type of wheels that can withstand bog and mud. To do this, it is better to design a tracked all-terrain vehicle based on the UAZ.
Final stages
The transmission of torque is carried out through cardan shaft... It goes to rear axle from the engine. Parts from a car are great for this. The advantages of such a gimbal are its reliability and simplicity, because it is very easy to work with it. It is also worth considering the location of the mounting holes, because they may not match. If such a problem is observed, they need to be turned.
After that, we can assume that the UAZ, converted into an all-terrain vehicle, is ready. It should be tested thoroughly to detect possible problems... If such are observed, errors need to be corrected, because they can pose a threat to the safety of passengers. You can also find other crafts from cars, since it is also not difficult to make a swamp vehicle out of an UAZ.
Almost all assemblies of such vehicles are assembled according to a single scheme. For work, only a body and an engine are required, and the driver collects the rest of the elements on his own. The choice of a variant of such a vehicle depends on the required cross-country ability and power. Each "craftsman" creates his own variation of the all-terrain vehicle, focusing on the characteristics of the surrounding area and financial capabilities.
When creating an SUV from an old UAZ, you need to pay serious attention to safety measures. All parts must be carefully checked for strength so that the vehicle is not dangerous to others. You should also take care of waterproofing so that moisture does not corrode metals.

All-terrain vehicles based on UAZ
Today we will talk about a car like UAZ. To be more precise, about an all-terrain vehicle based on this monster. domestic auto industry... Despite the fact that the car is famous for its characteristics and high cross-country ability, there are people who want to improve it. Such all-terrain vehicles are easily capable of crossing any obstacle, regardless of weather conditions. So, how can an ordinary UAZ owner design such a vehicle?
What are all-terrain vehicles based on UAZ
UAZ is a versatile vehicle that has proven itself on the roads of Russia. Nowadays there are all-terrain vehicles based on "UAZ" different types... Most often, the classic commander's one is remade, since it has a comfortable body and a comfortable interior. However, the so-called "loaf" is being converted into an all-terrain vehicle too. This vehicle is often improved for its good driving characteristics and suspension quality.
The most common alterations of an SUV car UAZ. Some owners of such machines only replace wheels and recycle undercarriage... As for the economy, this is the option that will be the most profitable for a common man in the street.
You can easily find an all-terrain vehicle on tracks. Such vehicles are perfect for driving on swampy areas, as well as on snow-covered sections of the road. UAZ-All-terrain vehicle of this type weighs much more, and it is more difficult to maintain it. When comparing wheels and tracks, the advantages tend to favor the latter due to good traction.
Some models amaze with their appearance... Craftsmen alter the design of the car body in such a way that it is difficult to recognize it. As a rule, more money must be invested in such a vehicle and real masters must be involved in the work. On the roads of Russia there are all-terrain vehicles that have an unrecognizable body.
But loaf models are also changing. Most often, caterpillars are installed on them. There are also models with large wheels, but their permeability is worse.
Swamp vehicle based on UAZ: details and design features
Let's analyze in detail design features a swamp rover based on a UAZ vehicle. If you decide to make such a transport, then you will need:
- duralumin sheets;
- screws M5;
- rubber and metal pads;
- synthetic rugs;
- foam rubber;
- cardan from the Volga car;
- plastic.
First you need to make a frame. It is best made from steel pipes, which must be joined using welded seams. If there are no skills, then you need to contact a qualified welder. It must be understood that the frame has a significant load, since the all-terrain vehicle moves on an uneven road. From duralumin sheets we make the hood lining and the floor inside the cabin. The material must be taken with a thickness of 2 mm. To connect them to the frame, you will need the M5 screws you bought earlier. The joints will have to be treated with rubber gaskets to keep moisture out.
From the inside, the cabin must be sealed with foam rubber and plastic. Doors must be treated with a special sealing material that can withstand high loads. The seats of the UAZ are comfortable, so it is better not to touch them. Some constructors recommend setting fuel tank behind the driver's seat. The inner luggage compartment will also be conveniently located in the passenger compartment.
As soon as you started installing the wheels, you need to take into account the level of camber. Both axles of the car must be fastened to the frame with bolts and shock absorbers. Now we need a driveshaft from the Volga. Due to its simplicity, it allows easy installation on other units. There is one caveat - the holes from the UAZ and the Volga may not match. In this case, you need to prepare in advance and squander additional ones.
Do-it-yourself tracked all-terrain vehicle based on UAZ: what to buy
Unlike a regular swamp rover, you have to spend a little more here. The owner of the UAZ car will need to buy a set of their two tracks. You can try to put blocks separately on each wheel, but this will cost more. Some experts argue that having two tracks provides reliable traction on the road, so the performance of the all-terrain vehicle will improve.
If you put separate blocks on each wheel, then you need to install a standard UAZ hub in the largest roller. For this reason, torque will be transmitted to the entire track mechanism. The advantage here lies in the steering control and ease of control. The ground clearance of this all-terrain vehicle will be impressive. Some people make it a little easier by placing the tracks on top of the wheels. On such tracks, it is difficult to overcome obstacles in the form of fallen trees. The rest of the structure is completely carried out in the same sequence as on a conventional swamp vehicle.
When driving on tracked all-terrain vehicle we must remember about the rules of movement on asphalt, because there are speed limits. After assembling the resulting vehicle, it is necessary to check the operation of all mechanisms. If there are any problems, then it is better to fix them immediately and on the spot.

We collect homemade all-terrain vehicles based on UAZ
Why are people so interested in homemade all-terrain vehicles based on UAZ? Both in the countryside and even on city highways it is very difficult to drive. And if the condition of the roads can be called acceptable in summer, then in winter it becomes not only difficult to drive along the “Russian obstacle course, but also very dangerous.
For this reason, many Russians are thinking about purchasing their own all-terrain vehicle. Indeed, why bother trying to drive through bumps on passenger car? It is easier to do this on an all-terrain vehicle, which will still be a reason to brag to your friends.
But how do you put it together? The basis for such a car can be a simple UAZ. Self-made all-terrain vehicles based on this machine already exist and below we have indicated some photos. Of course, the work ahead will not be easy. But you shouldn't be afraid of it either. You just need to collect your thoughts and prepare the necessary working tools and materials.

Instructions for use
The body of our all-terrain vehicle will consist of a frame and outer skin. Such a homemade product, like an all-terrain vehicle, the base of which is UAZ, must necessarily be distinguished by its strength. That is why it should be made of steel materials. So, for example, strong steel pipes are suitable, which will then take on a huge load.
However, if you are not able to weld pipes or do not have the opportunity to acquire them, then you can leave the native body of the UAZ. Homemade ATVs based on this car are different, and some of them hardly change at all in appearance. Having taken up its strengthening, take care not only of the side walls of the car, but also of its roof. Pay particular attention to the underbody of the vehicle.
Having strengthened the body, you can proceed to the sheathing of the car. The process begins with the fact that we remove the old skin. Of course, it could be done during the strengthening of the body, which does not have fundamental difference.
The material for the new cladding can be either aluminum or corrugated duralumin. The latter material is the most preferable, because it has shown itself very well, resisting negative environmental factors, and the duralumin is almost not subject to corrosion. Moreover, the corrugated coating makes its sheets much stronger than other materials with a similar composition.
When choosing duralumin sheets, make sure that their thickness is at least 1.5 and no more than 2 mm. In the process of attaching them to the frame, you will need M5 screws. They have countersunk heads that cling to the frame.
Of course, it will not be possible to tightly attach the corrugated aluminum to the metal frame on the all-terrain vehicle. Poor-quality joints and gaps will remain everywhere. Therefore, it is necessary to use rubber pads, which are used as plugs.
Treat the plating process with extreme caution, because it is she who is the most problematic in all the work. So, for example, by poorly fastening structural elements to an all-terrain vehicle, you can make it vulnerable to external influences.
We will also give you this advice: M5 countersunk head bolts, as well as all the places that will then be used as fasteners, should be treated with liquid silicone. This will help protect the car from corrosion, as well as moisture that can get into the passenger compartment while crossing river fords.
We will cover the interior of our cabin with thin foam rubber and soft plastic. To glaze the interior, you can use trixel glass. When working on interior decoration, do not forget to treat the interior with silicone or liquid rubber in the same way as they did with the body.
The thin foam rubber that we use to improve sound insulation can be replaced with foam rubber. But if you do not care about comfort, then you can do without such measures at all. The upper mats can be fixed with glue or special rivets. Choose rubber foot mats as they are much easier to clean than fabric ones.
The seat of the all-terrain vehicle can not be changed, but you can leave your relatives UAZ. But it is very important to place them so that there is also room for the fuel tank inside the cabin. It is installed behind the rear row of seats. Of course, special attention should be paid here to safety. So, for example, you can seal the bottom under the tank using iron sheets. Be sure to keep in mind that the tank must have a neck and a capacity of 45 liters. For convenience, an additional internal trunk can be placed above it.
We will do glazing only after all other bodywork is completed. Our UAZ all-terrain vehicles should be fixed in a special rubber frame, which will be more reliable in extreme situations. It is for safety reasons that we advised you to use triplex glass.
Their main quality and advantage is that they do not fall to pieces during an accident. Thus, we will be able to protect our homemade products from some force majeure.
UAZ Swamp buggy is a popular vehicle based on a universal Soviet off-road vehicle, designed for driving in difficult, swampy or snow-covered areas. The car easily moves off-road thanks to the original design and the presence of special tubeless tires that create low ground pressure and have good grip.

- Synthetic rugs.
- Triplex glass.
- Foam rubber.
- Soft plastic.
- Sealant.

The main element is the frame. It takes heavy loads, so it must be reliable and durable. The spars are welded from strong rectangular steel pipes, connected by pipe stands so that each element has a truss structure. Front and rear traverses in the form of a steel channel are attached to the ends of the side members, in the interval there are several crossbars from rolled metal of different assortments. The front traverse is reinforced with struts and a winch is installed on the bumper for self-recovery.
The transfer case is placed on the hanging racks of the central cross member. Then the position of the engine, gearbox and clutch unit is corrected, assembled and adjusted. Brackets are welded to all the necessary mechanisms for further installation of the units.
Today we will talk about a car like UAZ. To be more precise, about an all-terrain vehicle based on this monster of the domestic car industry.
