"UAZ Loaf" is known to all for its high cross-country ability and reliability. Its indestructible design allows you to operate the machine in any road conditions, be it a primer or a plowed field. By the way, thanks to its military past, "Loaf" can boast of its high maintainability. You can change or repair any part without the use of special tools, and on the same primer. It is almost impossible to put such a car “on the belly”. However, in order to achieve even greater cross-country ability, car owners do their own tuning of the Loaf. How to do it right, let's take a look.

UAZ Loaf: tuning with a power bumper

The first step is to install new bumpers. Now the RIF bumper is considered the most popular power shock element. The products of this manufacturer allow the driver to forget about scratches and dents when hitting cobblestones and other obstacles. The power bumper is made exclusively from high-strength steel, which guarantees its flawless operation. By the way, all these parts are painted black, so notice the scratch on it.surface is just not possible. Moreover, in the presence of a special aerosol, it is possible at any time to return the previous appearance to the percussion element. As for dents, the power bumper can be described as armored in its strength. And if some detail bends in the design of the Loaf, then it’s definitely not the Reef. In addition, you can equip the UAZ with a special cage at the back for a spare wheel or a reserve can of gasoline.

New tires for UAZ Loaf

Tuning for off-road is impossible without installing a mud tire. Such wheels allow UAZ to overcome even the most difficult off-road track. They usually have a stronger carcass, cord, and their tread consists of a deep symmetrical pattern with wide checkers and sipes. It is worth noting that installing a mud tire on a "Loaf" implies not only the purchase of new disks (new tires, wider in diameter), but also suspension play. Otherwise, it simply will not fit in the wheel arches. Buying standard 16-inch tires is also not an option, since they are not able to capture the area of \u200b\u200bthe primer that is needed to provide normal traction. Ideally, a mud tire should fit between 28-30 inches.

"UAZ Loaf": interior tuning

After the technical part of our minibus is fully prepared for off-road conquest, it's time to pay attention to the comfort of the driver. Change something in the cabin,except for the seats and the gear knob, it makes no sense, since the UAZ is primarily a military vehicle, and it does not tolerate the presence of any electronic bells and whistles, with the exception of a car radio and a small TV. Instead, install a better hydraulic power steering. With it, you can also change the “steering wheel”, since the efforts to turn the steering wheel will be minimal. If you can't do without music, install a radio with a couple of new speakers. It will make your outdoor activities more interesting and not boring.

This is how you can modify the UAZ Loaf car. Do-it-yourself tuning is not only interesting, but also effective!
