UAZ-469 - car legend, affectionately called ‘car” or “goat”, produced by the Russian automotive industry for over 40 years. Iron is a reliable comrade, easily conquering off-road, fords, ditches, ravines, known for its easy maintenance, low cost spare parts.

Over the years the serial production of the UAZ-469 has not changed. It still is brutal and angular, masculine and charismatic.

History

Initially, the car was created to transport both people and various cargoes on all types of roads. The beginning of the design stage was the 1950-th year. Originally created such a vehicle for the Soviet Army. After 8 years, was built the first prototype of the UAZ-469 - 460-I'm a model. The car originally had a resemblance with an American jeep - a jeep.

The Ulyanovsk automobile plant produced the first car in December 1972. And this year started its serial production. Prior to that, Ulyanovsk automobile plant produced the GAZ-69.

In February 2010, was put into production limited edition with index UAZ-315196, is characterized by increased comfort. This model has the following differences:

The Car frame. There is a version of canvas, and there is a version of the car with a metal roof.

Civilian and military Oise

The Ulyanovsk plant produced cars for the army and a civil version of the car.

The military UAZ-469 bridge has the additional side of the gearbox. They are created to ensure a better distribution of torque to the wheels in difficult road conditions such as deep track, marshy areas, mud and other.

The Second difference is the other gear ratios and improved traction of the car on low gear in off-road conditions. When connected to front-wheel drive and in low gear, military UAZ can go on any surface, overcoming with ease such parts of the road where it seems that no machine can pass.

As the military version of the factory did not buy, for such purposes understanding in this matter they are looking for the UAZ -469 BU. Military civil bridges are more expensive, but they are more reliable and sturdy, and often you can find the announcement of the purchase of such items. A man with a civil version of the car and versed in this topic wants to buy military bridges and to put in place a regular civilian.

Tuning

This car is very refined and easily converted. People often travel off-road or loving fishing, hunting and travelling on the outdoors, know what the ride height is very important for a car that conquers the roads. This increases the dimension of the wheels. In the UAZ there is a great advantage over other, the size of the arches. Arches of the car are large, and therefore put on the car wheels of larger size will not be easy. Bridges are a reliable and strong nodes. But if you want such “evil” wheels, arches easily trimmed and between the frame and body need to install the spacers.

In the second part of tuning is setting the winch. The best solution is to install a winch on the front and on the rear. If the car is stuck in a rut, then a winch would be the best assistant. If there is a tree with a special coronadite cling to him the winch cable, and the machine is freed from captivity. If there are no trees then winch clings to special anchor scratching in the trunk of the car.

Also UAZ equipped with expedition roof rack and a special ladder on the rear door, which can be used easily to provide access to the trunk.

Also, many drivers are engaged in the embellishment of these machines. It doesn't give plus in the off-road performance, but gives a certain individuality and uniqueness to the car. Painting, drawing, airbrushing, installation of the seats from expensive cars. It is already possible to roam in plenty, depending on preference and taste.

Records

Almost immediately after the start of serial production was a record. In August 1974, three standard UAZ-469 reached the glacier on mount Elbrus at a height of 4200 meters. The machines had no winches, no chains on the wheels.

June 2, 2010 was set the world record. In “car” instead of 32 people. In accordance with the requirements for setting record car drove with these people 10 meters. The total weight of people was nearly 2 tons.
