The logical continuation was to install the rear bumper from the RIF :)
Among the variety of bumpers presented in the catalog, we chose RIF rear bumper UAZ Loaf with a platform for a winch and an elevator wicket
The choice is dictated by the fact that, firstly, we have an elevated loaf, therefore we need to take a bumper under the elevator ( unlike the front, rear bumpers not universal, there is for the elevator, but there is without it). Secondly, the regular storage place of the spare tire is inconvenient - dirt flies, and it will be problematic to shove a bigger wheel there. In addition, there is an idea to put in place the spare wheels for HBO. So the bumper gate is the way out. And the place for the winch will also not be superfluous - you look someday and install it.
Consider a new bumper, just like the front one, it is well packed: first, in a dense plastic sleeve,
then still into a soft foamy material.
There is a sticker with the name of the product model
The bumper is painted with black powder paint, windows for installing lights are visible on the sides. Below are two strong, towing eyes.
On the reverse side, we see protruding brackets for attaching to the frame, and in the middle there is a niche for the rear winch
The bracket for the "gate" is monumental.
The hook for which the wicket is fixed
Niche for additional winch
Bumper attachment points
Sticker with manufacturer's coordinates and certificate numbers
The gate itself is packed separately
It is equipped with a locking mechanism, fasteners and a gas stop.
Everyone looked, rejoiced again good quality welded seams of RIF products and began to install the bumper.
But first you need to dismantle the regular bumper.
When viewed from which the quality of the painting of the frame was depressing :(
Car for six months, I haven't really driven it yet, and the paint has already begun to peel off in shreds
Okay, we were horrified and work on: unscrew the halves of the old bumper, dismantle the towing hitch, unscrew the left false footboard and remove the right footboard. Its attachment points are welded to the frame. They did not cut it off, since it does not interfere with the installation of a new bumper.
Install the center bracket on the bolts that come with the bumper.
The right and left frame brackets have corroded - we clean them from rust, degrease them, paint them.
We are waiting for the paint to dry, and then we screw on the new spacers that come with the bumper. If you do not install them separately, but try to do this together with the bumper, then nothing will work - it will be difficult to crawl to the mounting bolts.
We install the bumper in place. Attached to three brackets
Do not forget to fasten from the bottom
We install the gate in place. We fasten the gas stop.
We try how the gate opens, how it is fixed on the bumper. Trying to open the rear doors. We make sure that they do not catch on for anything and finally stretch the bumper mounting bolts.
Like all power bumpers, this one weighs a lot: the bumper itself weighs 33kg and the wicket is another 15kg. In total, 48kg is added.
The design of the spare wheel mounting on the UAZ 3151 family is not very successful. During use, it got dirty many times when trying to close the spare wheel bracket to the "stowed" state. The whole minus of the bracket in one loop when attached to the body and in the open state, even under the weight of a standard wheel, the bracket sags a lot. Therefore, when closing the bracket, all the time you have to raise the bracket with the spare wheel so that the guides fall into the holes intended for them.
When you rarely use the luggage compartment, you can put up with it. Recently, I very often have to climb into the trunk and quickly get tired of raising the spare wheel. I don’t want to carry a spare tire in the cabin, the place is not too much, and it’s still necessary to fix it as it should, so that the extra 30 kg would not fly around the cabin. The option with transportation on the top trunk is also not mine: it is difficult to protect against theft, and it is also difficult to throw 30 kg at a height of more than 2 meters alone ... It was decided to bring the standard bracket to mind.
After studying the information on the Internet, I decided to add a second loop at the bottom of the body. The main idea was spied on by Gray
Ingredients:
- corner 75mm
- profile pipe 80 * 80mm
- profile pipe 60 * 20mm
- pipe ф20mm
- 3 studs wheel Volga
- 2 bolts М12
- 2 bolts М10
- dye.
The position of the lower hinge is calculated relative to the lower bolt, which should be located at least 2 cm above the floor of the locker behind the rear right wheel along the axis of the standard fastening of the spare wheel bracket. The position of the second bolt is determined experimentally depending on the version of the lower bracket.
A loop bracket of the following type was made from a profile pipe 80 * 80:
We calculate the length and position of the profile pipe 60 * 20, which will play the role of a support for the standard UAZ bracket.
Then we weld 2 corners of 75mm, 20 cm long each, to make it look like a channel. This will be the base for mounting the spare wheel disc. Now, based on the required position of the spare wheel relative to the rear side of the car, we measure the outreach of the plane for the spare wheel disc and the height relative to the standard bracket. In my case, the spare wheel was raised with the calculation of a new bumper, which will cover the rear slots resulting from the body lift. Plus an overhang of at least 12 cm, otherwise the spare wheel rests on the handle for opening the upper side of the body side. Therefore, 2 strips were cut from the scraps of the 80 * 80 profile pipe and welded to the channel obtained from 2 75 corners.
We press on the wheel studs and scald them just in case. Using a grinder, we select 4 cuts for the pipes of the standard bracket. We weld the pad into place.
The spare wheel can sometimes be annoying for those drivers who don't have to use it. There is even an expression among the people: "It is necessary, like the fifth wheel to a cart." It takes a place, the weight is solid, you ride with you every day. Yes, and some manufacturing firms support such thoughts of car owners, sometimes not equipping their cars with spare wheels, but applying only a can of sealant and a compressor. Maybe this approach is good in countries with a developed road service, but if you imagine a situation that the tire has punched (it has punched, and did not catch a self-tapping screw) more than a hundred kilometers from the city, then the meaning of the well-known phrase "My Kingdom for a horse" is quite applicable to the spare wheel.
Spare wheel or stowaway?
Best of all for our Russian realities, when the car is equipped with a full-size spare wheel. That is, the nominal size tire is mounted on steel or alloy wheel... Thus, the car owner is "insured" in case of damage not only to the tire, but also to the wheel. Many firms apply a spare tire on a steel rim to a car with light-alloy wheels. At the same time, the tire can be the same as the other four, but there is also a variant with a steel rim of the nominal size and with a rolling tire. In this case, the tire has a mild inscription like "Temporary use only" (for temporary use). The tread is only a couple of millimeters high and the corresponding speed limit is up to 80 km / h.
The next step in the "decline in the quality of life" of the owner of the car is a stowaway in its purest form. A tire with a slightly outlined tread, a little wider than a bicycle tire, is worn on a steel, very embossed rim, often of a larger diameter than the main wheels. At the same time, the outer diameter of such a spare wheel is still noticeably smaller than that of the main wheels of the car. On such a "conditional" spare wheel (especially installed in front), you yourself will not want to move faster than 80 km / h. tram tracks will be very uncomfortable.
Where to store?
Now we will consider what options for placing a spare wheel exist, with specific examples. The story will go, as the dialectic teaches - from simple to complex. Let's start with the harsh domestic "crooks".
What do they do when tuning the famous VAZ car? That's right, place the spare tire in the tailgate area.
The spare wheel of another highly respected car with our roots, the Chevrolet Niva, is placed in the same way. Small flaw This type of placement is the need to lift the wheel onto the bracket, but will that stop real men?
The creators of most pickups and many imported SUVs place the spare wheel under the floor - behind the rear axle of the vehicle. The wheel is pulled to the bottom by a chain or cable by means of a winch.
Everything seems to be convenient and it is not necessary to raise the spare tire high. But imagine that you need to get the spare wheel when the car is lying on its belly in the mud or snow. Dig a tunnel? So such a scheme is not for the most difficult conditions.
The easiest and most common way to place a spare wheel is to place it in a stamped niche in the floor of the luggage compartment.
The disadvantage of placing the spare wheel in the niche is the need to unload the trunk in order to get the spare wheel. And the dirty dismantled wheel will have to be sent to a clean niche.
But to the point of absurdity, such an arrangement of the spare wheel came in a convenient and practical (in all other respects) crossover Nissan x-trail of the last generation. The fact is that luggage compartment- two-level, it has four shelves and a drawer.
Since the purchase of the popular model Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant SUV UAZ Patriot, every car owner faced a situation, or rather a problem, when over time the tailgate began to sag due to a heavy spare wheel. Although the UAZ Patriot SUV is one of the high-quality creations of the Russian car industry, it also has some drawbacks. The spare wheel is placed on the rear door of the SUV and is secured with 3 nuts. These nuts, of course, are enough to hold the wheel, but constant vibrations during movement and the large weight of the spare wheel lead to the fact that the curtains of the rear door do not withstand and begin, as they say, to give up their positions. In addition, there is another problem, which is the erasing of paint on the rear door with a spare wheel. Drivers can detect this action after several thousand tens of kilometers. In particular, paint abrasion is found on the underside of the door where the spare wheel touches the door.
One of the options for wickets for UAZ Patriot
To correct this situation and not bring, as they say, to the point of sin, it is recommended that immediately after purchasing an SUV to do some reconstruction of the body attachment. This is what this material will tell you about. Consider the process of installing the wicket - the element on which the spare wheel will be located. Where can you buy a gate or how to make it yourself.
Purpose and device of the wicket
A wicket door is a special steel structure with awnings to which the spare wheel is mounted. By installing a wicket door, the rear door completely gets rid of unnecessary excess weight of the spare wheel, and thereby increases the service life of the awnings.
The wicket is made mainly of steel pipes. The product is attached to the body structure using special brackets. And, of course, there are special mounts for the spare wheel.
A wicket door for an UAZ Patriot SUV can be purchased ready-made, which is manufactured at specialized factories, but the cost of such a product will vary from 9,000 to 12,000 rubles.
You can make a product with your own hands, or rather, use the help of specialists. It is first necessary to prepare drawings with dimensions, and then select the appropriate metal, which also will not negatively affect the body structure. Making a gate with your own hands is a rather laborious process, but you can save 2-3 thousand rubles on this. It is much easier to purchase a ready-made product for the UAZ Patriot SUV.
Next, we will consider the process of installing a wicket on an UAZ Patriot SUV on our own. Exactly independently, because this process is not only simple, but even enjoyable, since all the fasteners of the factory product fit the SUV. So let's get started.
Installation of a wicket
Work begins with the purchase of a factory-made wicket for the UAZ Patriot SUV, which comes with:
- installation instructions, with which it will be quite simple to carry out the installation;
- accessories: bolts, nuts, clamps;
- sketch, with the help of which the holes are drilled for installing the product.
Car with spare wheel bracket installed
Allen head bolts are included in the kit.
So, starting the installation, you should make sure you have the necessary tool:
- spanners;
- hexagon;
- sealant;
- drill and drill bits for metal.
Everything is ready to install a new spare wheel wicket, so let's get started: first you need to remove the standard design of the spare wheel holder, and before that, remove the spare wheel. After removing the wheel, you can find the following picture:
Minus the standard wheel mount
As you can see, dirt accumulates in the lower part between the body and the wheel, which ultimately leads to metal corrosion - an unpleasant phenomenon, so it is best not to wait for problems to appear, but to install the wicket immediately after buying a car. This requires:
- The standard mount is removed by unscrewing the bolts, as seen in the photo above.
- The rear light is removed.
- We clean the surface of the body from dirt.
Sealing the seams
- A sketch is attached to the body part above and below rear light and two holes are drilled.
- The holder is mounted on back door with 6 bolts. The bolts are screwed into the standard holes.
- Now it is necessary to smear the holder around the perimeter so that water does not get under its structure and does not cause corrosion. The photo below is an example of processing with a sealant. +
- The operability of the wicket is checked, which was fixed on two bolts. If everything is done correctly, then there will be no contact with the body of the SUV.
- Next, the remaining 6 holes are drilled, and the wicket is fixed with brackets. A rubber pad must be installed between the bracket of the product and the body to protect the body from damage.
- Upon completion of the work, you will get the following picture:
