The brainchild of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, the UAZ "loaf", is almost always subjected to some kind of tuning. Often this minibus is converted into an all-terrain vehicle. All it takes is a fantasy and some money. In this article, we will give an example of how to make off-road tuning of the UAZ "loaf".

Change in appearance

Most often this process begins with painting. It is very simple to make it - just select the desired color and complete the template, which will indicate all the contours of the shades. It is desirable that it be airbrushed in khaki style. It is also worth noting that this process (painting) is not the original for used minibuses. After 5-6 years, various rust and traces of corrosion appear on the body of each Ulyanovsk. Therefore, before painting, they must be carefully treated with a special liquid and primed. Only after that you can start painting and varnishing.

Choosing tires for the minibus UAZ "loaf"

Tuning for off-road always includesIt includes equipping the car with special tires designed for driving over rough terrain. Most often, owners choose the 33rd rubber. But at the same time, do not forget that the car body must be raised 9-10 centimeters above the frame, otherwise such a wheel simply will not fit into the arch. Tuning UAZ "loaves" can be done without this procedure. To do this, you need to choose wheels of a standard diameter, but it is possible that they also will not fit into the arches (off-road tires are always wide). Although, looking at today's assortment of car tires, you can choose exactly what you need for your iron friend, and without any structural changes to the cabin.

UAZ "loaf": interior tuning

The photo of the interior of the minibus, of course, is striking in its "ultra-modernity". Its design remained somewhere in the 70s of the last century. It is clear that for today's conditions this appearance of the cabin will clearly be outdated. Therefore, motorists are redoing the entire interior of the car. Cabin tuning of the UAZ "loaf" includes a complete replacement of the seats with newer and more comfortable ones, updating the instrument panel and soundproofing around the entire perimeter of the minibus. As for the first element, here it is best to choose imported seats from foreign cars. The second element can not be completely changed, but only the fasteners can be replaced.

Thanks to this, riding a "loaf" will no longer be accompanied by a constant creak and rattle. Soundproofing for latershould not be delayed. Off-road tuning of the UAZ "loaf" is practically not complete without soundproofing, since the noise and vibrations in the cabin are very annoying to many drivers. By the way, the main source of this problem is the engine. It is located between the front seats and, as a soundproofing material, the manufacturer provides for the placement of a large shield sheathed with ordinary leatherette, which in practice is very, very ineffective.
