Tuning UAZ-469

The huge potential for modernization, laid down by the designers in this unpretentious and unpretentious car, has already led to the appearance on the roads of the country of such wonderful designs, in which little is left of the native "bobby" except for the name.

So, where to start tuning the UAZ-469? From a lift. It means lifting the body higher off the ground. This is done in two ways: you can use special spacers that will lift the body above the frame, or you can add a couple of leaf springs and change the shock absorbers. You can combine these two methods, but it is important to remember that lifting above 100 mm is not recommended due to the shift in the center of gravity of the car. Of course, you can do such tuning of the UAZ-469 with your own hands, but if you do not have enough qualifications or do not have the necessary equipment, it is better to turn to professionals.

After lifting, it will immediately become clear what to do next. Change the wheels, since there is a place for them, and if not enough, you can always trim the wheel arches. We change the standard 16th disks to the 15th ones with tires with a diameter of 30-34 inches. We choose the protector based on the operating conditions, but, of course, the toothache.

To effectively break small trees and crush the fearlessmoose without harming the car, you need to install a "kenguryatnik" and strengthen the thresholds with metal pipes. Strongly rough terrain can turn the UAZ over, so safety arcs are also a mandatory option. Such tuning of the UAZ-469 will immediately give it a brutal appearance and somewhat expand its off-road capabilities.

We need to put a winch, and preferably two, one in front, the other behind, because where they are useful, there will be no tractors within a radius of many kilometers.

Engine. You can change, you can not change. There is practically nothing to modernize and bore there, but the complex tuning of the UAZ-469 provides for the replacement of the standard engine with a modern injector ZMZ-409.10 or a diesel Andoria 4CT90.

Installation of disc brakes will allow them to work normally in conditions of heavy pollution. Drums, when dirt gets in, can wedge and wear out unevenly, while disk ones have greater reliability and some ability to self-clean.

Sealing mechanisms and installing a snorkel is relevant if you need to overcome fords or knead waist-deep mud for a long time.

Additional optics are very useful, especially at night. In the dark, weak light and off-road are incompatible.

If we talk about the salon, then there are no canons. True, in itself the basic interior of the "UAZ" is of little use for use, but here someone is much more than that. Modernize anything and everything. On the other hand, off-roadthis does not affect the qualities, therefore there are no mandatory requirements for tuning the interior.

Here is such a "bobby" UAZ-469, tuning with his own hands which is able to create a real conqueror of directions from a simple all-terrain vehicle.

As for spare parts, the market is sufficiently saturated with everything necessary to tune the UAZ-469, as they say, in all fields. Information on the Internet is also quite enough. The only limiting factor is the owner's wallet, but money also comes with time.
