Cars from the Ulyanovsk plant are widely used not only in the territory of Russian Federation, but also abroad. , which is often tuned by car owners, has high technical performance. Motorists modernize equipment based on the tasks assigned to the car. To improve technical performance, owners perform body and interior tuning on their UAZ loaf car.

Tuning the interior of the UAZ "Loaf"

The factory-equipped car has a low level of comfort. In order to increase comfort, the interior is tuning. Each person improves their salon to their own taste.

The seats inside the car are being replaced. They change not only the front ones, but also rear seats. This helps reduce passenger and driver fatigue when traveling long distances.

The inside of the body is treated with noise-insulating materials. All body surfaces are insulated. This reduces the level of noise transmitted into the cabin from the wheeled chassis and power plant of the vehicle.

The steering wheel of a UAZ car is being replaced with a more comfortable one. The choice of steering wheel is complicated by the difference in splines. Some car owners leave the factory steering wheel and upgrade it. To do this on steering wheel a specialized cover is put on.

The front panel is sheathed with various materials or complete replacement torpedo. Installed in the panel additional devices. This allows you to control the operation of components and mechanisms while moving.

When upgrading, the standard interior lighting changes to brighter. Good lighting allows you to use a UAZ car as a motor home for short trips to nature.

In order to improve ventilation, a hole is cut out in the roof for installing a hatch. They make the sunroof themselves or install devices from cars of other brands. Hatch fits well passenger bus GROOVE.

External tuning of the “Loaf”

The owners carry out tuning of the UAZ loaf car not only inside, but also outside. The body is treated with anti-corrosion materials. This protects the metal from negative influences environment.

Additional lighting is installed on the car. This allows you to use the UAZ in poor visibility conditions. For additional lighting choose led lights. They consume minimal amount electricity. This allows you to reduce the load on the generator when the car is moving at night.

The lower part of the body is sheathed with durable materials. They protect the body from damage when driving off-road.

UAZ has a large body area. Tuning a car, standard paintwork changes to something more original. When painting, some motorists perform airbrushing. This makes the car unique.

Steps are installed at the bottom of the body. They are necessary to make it easier for passengers to get on and off the car. To illuminate the coating when exiting the car at night, LED strips are installed at the bottom of the doors.

A metal roof rack is installed on the roof. It is made of metal pipes. Installing a trunk allows you to carry additional cargo. You can also read about.

REFERENCE: The trunk can be equipped with a specialized mount for transporting a spare wheel.

Tuning UAZ Bukhanka for hunting and fishing

UAZ 452 is used for fishing and hunting. This is due to the high cross-country ability of the vehicle in difficult areas of rough terrain. For fishing and hunting, owners upgrade the interior and body, and chassis cars.

Modernization of the chassis allows for increased cross-country ability vehicle due to poor coverage. To do this, increase the ground clearance and install tires off-road and so on.

For fishing trips, sleeping places are equipped in the cabin. Thanks to this, you can spend the night in nature, regardless of weather conditions. To increase usable space in the car interior, standard rear seats are replaced with benches.

When performing tuning on a UAZ loaf car for hunting and fishing, motorists install a table. It is equipped in the rear of the cabin on the side wall or partition. The table has a folding design that allows you to unfold it if necessary. The presence of a table allows you to use the interior of the car as a mobile canteen.

WITH inside the body and doors are equipped with waterproofing and thermal insulation. This allows you to use the machine in all weather conditions. After installing the insulation, the internal surfaces of the body are sheathed with easily washable materials. This design allows you to quickly clean up any dirt that has arisen.

When using the machine at low ambient temperatures, upgrade autonomous heater. To do this, install more powerful engine electric heater.

ATTENTION: Installation of additional electrical equipment requires replacing the standard generator with a more powerful model.

UAZ Bukhanka off-road tuning

Some perform off-road tuning on the UAZ loaf. This increases the vehicle's cross-country ability. In order to improve cross-country ability, the vehicles are being modernized:

• Wheelbase;
• Chassis of the car;
• Body kits;
• Transmission units.

When upgrading, standard wheels are replaced with larger ones. Tires with an all-terrain pattern are installed on new wheels. Wheel height increases ground clearance cars. The width of the wheels reduces the degree of pressure on the ground when the machine moves.

Front and rear bumper cars are equipped with winches. They are electrically driven. Some manufacturers equip the winch with a remote control.

WARNING: The standard bumper will not support the load transmitted from the winch. To use a winch, it is necessary to install reinforced body kits. They can be purchased in specialized stores.

Installing new wheels requires enlarging the wheel arches. There are three ways to increase the distance between the tires and the car's fenders:

1. Modernizing wheel arches. To do this, cut off the lower part of the wings. The resulting cut is sheathed with a metal profile, giving the required shape;
2. By installing springs with a large number of sheets and elongated mounting earrings. This method increases the distance between the frame and axles of the vehicle;
3. Installing cushions between the frame and body of the UAZ.

UAZ loaf do-it-yourself interior tuning

Many owners perform interior tuning on UAZ Bukhanka with their own hands. Self-modernization has a number of advantages:

• Uniqueness. The owner creates a unique interior design;
• Quality. When carrying out modernization independently, the person himself controls the quality of the materials used;
• Versatility. Each owner takes into account his personal preferences.

Torpedo modernization

The front panel is covered with leather, plastic or thin sheets of metal. This makes it possible to produce a unique product. Corrugated aluminum sheets are suitable. They withstand mechanical damage and are easily cleaned of dirt using a soap solution.

Engine compartment

To reduce noise levels from power unit cover engine compartment equipped with sound insulation. On outside The lids provide shelves for storing small items. Some car owners equip the engine compartment lid with cup holders.

Steering column

The steering column is covered with a plastic casing from cars of other brands. Combination switches are installed on the steering column. The ignition switch with the torpedo is moved to the steering column.

Seats

Standard seats have a low level of comfort. Motorists are replacing driver and passenger seats. Seats of various sizes are suitable for installation in the rear compartment. For relaxation, chairs are installed that fold out into a full sleeping area.

In the front of the car, the space for installing seats is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to choose narrow seats. The front seats are located above the wheel arch. Therefore, for installation it is necessary to choose products with a low back.

Tuning the body of UAZ loaf

Motorists perform tuning of the UAZ loaf body with their own hands. Depending on the task performed by the car, the following is installed on the body:

Body kits and kangurin

When using a vehicle in difficult conditions, the UAZ is equipped with kengurin and reinforced bumpers. They protect the body from damage from impacts from branches and stones.

Unique reinforced body kits and kengurin can be obtained in two ways:

1. Order the manufacture of the product from professional welders. Workers will produce bumpers and kangaroos strictly according to the drawings;
2. Make the parts yourself. This will require certain skills.

Branch protection

When using the machine to drive through forested areas, the windshield is susceptible to damage from impacts from branches. A special device is used to protect the windshield from branches.

The device is made in the form of two cables. The lower edge of the cables is attached to the kengurin. Top edge The product is attached to the roof in the area of ​​the windshield pillar. The cables are equipped with a tensioning device. When the car is moving, branches hit the cables without touching the windshield.

Reinforced trunk

A reinforced roof rack is installed on the roof. It is made from metal pipes or profiles. The trunk protects the paintwork from impacts from branches, and allows you to transport loads weighing up to 300 kilograms on the roof.

When making the trunk, you can equip mounts for installing outdoor headlights. To avoid damage to the headlight glasses, they are located on the inside of the frame. When using a UAZ for hunting, side and rear lighting. They allow you to illuminate the area around the car.

Off-road tuning UAZ loaf

In order to travel off-road, they independently upgrade the chassis of the car. To do this, install wheels with all-terrain tires. Some owners install bridges from military UAZs. They have lower gear ratio and increase ground clearance.

Spare wheel bracket

The off-road UAZ is equipped with a bracket for mounting a spare wheel. Enlarged spare wheel does not fit in the place provided by the factory. The bracket is made of pipes or profiles.

The upper part of the bracket is attached to the rack mounted on the roof of the car. The lower part of the bracket is installed on the rear bumper.

Bridge breathers

When driving a UAZ 452 through water, water may enter the bridges through the breathers. Water getting into the gear housing leads to increased friction between the parts of the mechanism. Because of high friction the node may fail.

When driving off-road, car owners upgrade their axle breathers. For this:

• Unscrew the breathing valve;
• A hose is installed in the place where the breathing valve is attached brake system Gazelle car;
• The second hose fitting is connected to a flexible rubber hose using an adapter;
• The adapter in the hose is clamped with a clamp;
• The second edge of the flexible hose is secured in a place inaccessible to water (in the engine compartment);

When the car is driven off-road, water does not enter the bridge through the breathing valve. The crankcase is in communication with the atmosphere through a hose.

From the above it follows that modernizing the UAZ 452 allows you to improve the technical performance of the vehicle. You can do the modernization yourself. This allows you to get a unique machine designed for specific purposes.

Although the UAZ “loaf” has good cross-country ability and capacity as standard, it still leaves much to be desired in terms of interior design and comfort in general. Fortunately, it (the loaf) is not that expensive and in itself is “brutally” repairable. If your goal is to drive a car where there is impassable wilderness everywhere, get ready to upgrade your car, which can result in a real “tank”, ready to go anywhere and everywhere. So, let's figure out together whether the UAZ Loaf needs tuning for off-road use?

Wheels

So, the first thing you can’t do without on serious off-road conditions is good wheels and rubber. Firstly, we need wheel disks larger radius, in this case the vehicle’s ground clearance will increase by several centimeters just like that, without modifications to the suspension. Secondly, it would be nice to “shod” some wide mud tires, because the wider the tire, the more evenly each wheel presses on the ground, preventing the car from “burrowing” into mud or sand. An even greater effect can be achieved simply by slightly lowering the tire pressure, so we recommend buying a compressor for inflating tires so as not to have to do this manually.

Initially, the loaf has a rather high center of gravity; if you plan to frequently drive on highways, for example on long journeys, we recommend expanding the track by installing a bridge from the UAZ-3159 (aka “Bars”). Such a bridge will be 15 centimeters longer, which will have a positive effect on the car’s stability in corners. Also, it would be a good idea to install a limited slip differential in order to avoid situations where the car slips on one wheel (or one side). In addition, such a differential will save your car's transmission, due to the fact that the torque from the engine will be evenly distributed over all four wheels.

Just look how much wider the track has become after such alterations.

Body lift

And now a little about the difficulties that you will encounter with such tuning. If you plan to install wheels with a height of 33-35 inches inclusive (for example, Forward Safari or Simex Extreme tires), you will have to slightly raise (make a lift) the body relative to the wheels, otherwise you will need to saw the wheel arches. You can raise it in three ways: using spacers between the spring and the bridge, using spacers between the body and frame, and by increasing the number of leaves in the springs. You can combine several options. With the latter method, be prepared for the fact that the smoothness of the ride will become somewhat worse, while the load capacity and reliability, on the contrary, will increase.

You can use regular hockey pucks as spacers (each about 2.5 cm thick), adding 4 of them together for each body-to-frame mount, you can raise the car by as much as 10 centimeters! Only this may be enough to prevent the new wheels from touching the car body. Such washers last for 5-6 years, no more, then they begin to crack, so if you have the money, it is better to buy a special set of spacers. In addition, it will be necessary to lengthen the transmission rods and transfer case, as well as brake booster pipes.

It is not recommended to raise the body without increasing the track, as the likelihood of the vehicle overturning increases sharply

Suspension

Serious off-road conditions dictate the conditions that the car must meet, for example, the front and rear shock absorbers it is necessary to replace them with more rigid ones in order to eliminate breakdowns of the suspension and reduce the chances of the car tipping over. The main thing here is not to “overdo it”; if the vertical wheel travel becomes too small, the vehicle’s cross-country ability may drop significantly. At the front you can install Gabriel gas-oil shock absorbers with a VST valve. Advantages of the VST valve: increased shock absorber efficiency when big moves compression is what you need good off-road. At the rear it is better to put something like OLD MAN EMU N53.

UAZ "loaf" type vehicles have a problem that many people do not know about - weak front springs. And here springs from classic vases will come in handy, and to install them it will be necessary to make special platforms in two places: on the bridge and on the frame. For this you will need: electric welding, a pipe with a diameter of 76 mm, a sheet of metal 5–6 mm thick. As a result, you should end up with something like the one in the photo. The same can be done with the rear springs, although this is not necessary. For reliability, replace all rubber bushings in the suspension with polyurethane ones.

Engine

If you own a UAZ 452 - popularly known as a “loaf”, most likely it contains a ZMZ-402 or ZMZ-409 engine. The latter is undoubtedly better in all respects, it has higher torque and more power. Both engines consume 92 gasoline as fuel. It is noteworthy that although the 409 engine has a larger volume (2.7 versus 2.5), its consumption per “hundred” is not much higher than that of the ZMZ-402. In any case, the original motor is enough for the loaf to overcome deep mud and various obstacles.

If desired, in engine compartment after some modifications, foreign analogues emerge; even diesel engine variations can be installed here. Of course, if you choose between gasoline and diesel engine, the latter would be the most correct option, because diesel engines have much better traction in the lower operating speed range. Here are just a few of those that can definitely be installed instead of the original unit: TD27 (Nissan, 2.7 l), OM616 (Mercedes, 2.4 l), 1KZ (Toyota, 3.0 l).

But do not forget that the gearbox, transfer case, cardan, as well as axles may simply not withstand too much engine power (compared to the factory), because they are not designed for such loads. Therefore, the question remains open about the feasibility of such alterations, and many car enthusiasts leave their original engine for precisely this reason.

Protection

Safety equipment may include: power bumpers, body kits. Body kits for UAZ can be bought at auto stores, or you can make it yourself if you have the appropriate skills in welding and painting. Of course, a handmade bumper will cost much less, however appearance and user characteristics, as a rule, are somewhat worse than those of the store version. One of the most common products on the market is the product of the RIF company; such bumpers have a special mount for mechanical or electric winch, which can be very useful in conditions of long-distance excursions, especially when you are traveling alone and have nowhere to wait for help.

Another option for protecting a car off-road is to cover the sides of the car with an aluminum profile - to protect the body from various branches and stones. The photo shows a “gentle” version of protection, in which only the most vulnerabilities body, but there are often cases when aluminum sheets cover everything right up to the very middle, right up to the driver’s door handle. This design of the car goes especially well with the “camouflage” coloring.

An integral element for a real SUV is the trunk. But not the one that even an ordinary passenger car has, we are talking about a rack on the roof of a car. Here the situation is exactly the same as in the case of bumpers (body kits). However, special expedition racks roof mounts purchased at a car dealership are absolutely capable of withstanding a load of 200-300 kg without breaking, plus they are equipped with special brackets for installing additional light sources.

It would not hurt to make a ladder to the top so that it would be convenient to climb on and off (and not jump off) from the car. In such a trunk you can put a spare tire, fuel cans, and a shovel. And also, it will protect the car roof from scratches, which will inevitably be left by tree branches that you drive through. In the cabin, it’s better to equip a comfortable sleeping bag in case of long journeys, because it’s not always possible to set up a tent. And even in winter, in severe frost, you can sleep comfortably by turning on the stove.

The car known to Russians as UAZ 452 “loaf”, was created as an escort vehicle for a tank column. The body of the minibus, designed to overcome tank ruts, turned out to be durable, although inconvenient. Well, military service is not a vacation in a sanatorium! But in terms of running " loaf" turned out to be flawless: easily maintaining cruising speeds of 80-90 km/h on asphalt, at a reduced speed UAZ conquered off-road conditions without hesitation.

True, to connect front wheel drive the driver had to jump out of the cab and bend over with a wrench at the wheel hubs, but after the cramped conditions driver's seat Such a warm-up is a joy!

Alas! The most the main problem UAZ 452- user inconvenience. That is why, first of all, we consider current examples UAZ interior tuning.

UAZ “loaf” becomes comfortable

When designing the cabin UAZ the designers were guided by the anthropometric data of the soldiers of the early 50s. It is not surprising that our tall contemporaries do not fit well into the standards of the middle of the last century. So get started tuning UAZ "loaf" with the modernization of the driver's seat - an extremely correct, as Lenin would say, decision.

Driver's seat in UAZ serial production is shifted relative to the axis of the steering column to the left. The most ingenious tuning developments move the seat close to the engine compartment lid. To ensure that the hood can be lifted without difficulty, the seat is made easily removable.

The urgent need is to replace the bulky standard steering wheel UAZ previous years of production on a compact steering wheel from passenger car. Installing a power steering makes it easier to use a small diameter steering wheel.

In trends tuning dashboard UAZ two directions are visible. Adherents of ceremonial brilliance line everything they can reach with corrugated aluminum sheet.

Since one and a half millimeter aluminum is attached to the metal of the body on top of plastic sound insulation, the car becomes noticeably quieter. Makes it easier to clean the interior and UAZ trunk. With proper professionalism of the performers, the aesthetics of the interior increases.

Admirers of ergonomic comfort use safety materials. Complicating the shapes benefits the initially inexpressive interior. There is more space for instruments and storage compartments on this panel than before. Converted UAZ much more convenient than the original version!

Converting an engine compartment lid into a storage tray is an inexpensive and extremely useful conversion.

Keeping a finger on the pulse of all vehicle systems is the most important task of the driver. UAZ 452. Easy to read instrument readings are the key to confident control of equipment in the most difficult conditions!

Above the windshield there is space suitable for placing speakers, a radio, a stationary radio station and other auxiliary electronics. Use it! Options for reforming the upper cabin space " loaves" - a great many!

The console, built symmetrically to the engine compartment, will help place many information screens and control knobs for the heating system - or rather, heating systems. Full-fledged tuning UAZ "loaf", especially for hunting and fishing, is impossible without installing additional heaters!

Heating tuning UAZ 452

Experienced drivers know: in terms of thermal conditions, it’s old UAZ 452- a machine of infernal deceit! In frosty winters, the engine, open from below to all the winds, was overcooled, and therefore the drivers did not allow themselves to aggravate the situation by heating the cabin. In the summer, the engine, being hidden from the through airflow, overheated - and in order to drive, and not boil, the drivers turned on the stove...

True, all the hardships and hardships fell to the lot of the front riders. IN body « loaves“As a rule, at any time of the year the temperature remained close to the outside temperature. That's why tuning UAZ 452 always accompanied by installation autonomous heater for the salon. True, sometimes alterations take extreme forms...

Potbelly stove behind the driver? Such UAZ tuning may seem funny. However, the method can be justified, firstly, by driving on the taiga off-road - after all, in the forest there is more firewood than gasoline. And secondly, a wood stove (though not a potbelly stove) is quite suitable for heating a caravan.

In all other cases, an autonomous car interior heater running on liquid fuel helps.

Problems inherent in thermoregulation of the old 72-horsepower UAZ engine, disappear when the engine is replaced with a new 98-horsepower model.

To make the cabin quiet

Corrugated aluminum sheet, widely used in tuning SUVs (take a look at the interior design of the tuned Niva on the page), helps reduce noise levels in the cabin UAZ 452.

The popular and relatively inexpensive one and a half millimeter sheet of corrugated aluminum is of little use for laying on the floor of a car - due to its natural plasticity and instability to abrasive wear.

Tuning equipment for UAZ 452 interior

If desired, in UAZ 452 body You can install a wardrobe and a double bed, which can be transformed into other pieces of upholstered furniture during the daytime.

A kitchen corner with a small refrigerator (in the photo it is blue), a container with drinking water, a microwave and an electric stove will harmoniously complement the comfort of travelers UAZ 452.

In most cases " loaf"is used for traveling to places where an inflatable mattress is enough to sleep, and the kitchen is replaced by a pot over a fire. Fishing and hunting option tuning UAZ 452 Today it is in greater demand than ever!

A wide top hatch is a necessary accessory for a hunting vehicle. A harsh shutter click sounding from the rooftop UAZ "loaves", is capable of confusing both an elk and a bear, and even a traffic inspector. In addition, the hatch will serve as a life-saving exit if the hunt does not go as planned and the participants in the action are confused about who should chase whom.

Prey hunting, successful fishing - these are trophies! And the trophies need to be put somewhere. Experienced hunters provide a well-closing compartment for prey in the car. Often in isolated UAZ trunk there is an entrenching tool and a spare wheel. Weapons and ammunition can be transported in lockable boxes under the compartment floor.

Game, however, has one unpleasant feature... Many animals (and fish) have such a strong odor that there is no way to transport them inside a car.

Trunk and other canopies UAZ 452

UAZ roof rack able to help out in a wide variety of situations. In addition to carrying a considerable load, the outer trunk can become a platform for arranging a seat. It can be covered with an awning and used as a safe sleeping place in the warm season. Besides, trunk for UAZ protects the roof from damage when crossing dense thickets.

But there is one danger. In user circles, the idea of ​​installing on trunk of UAZ 452 winches with electric drive.

Don't make a fatal mistake! Do not install on trunk of the “loaf” winches! Otherwise, removing, say, a spare tire from the roof, which is usually discarded - and that’s it! - will turn into a long and full of difficulties adventure.

To remove the spare tire with a winch, you will have to:

Climb up and bring the device into working position;

Hook the wheel;

Lower the wheel to the ground;

Go down to unhook the wheel;

Climb up, reel in the rope;

Return the device from the working position to the transport position;

Get off the roof.

However, all this is just physical exercise that is beneficial to health. The highlight of interaction with any winch that does not have a mechanical rope handler is snagging, that is, the tightly wound rope getting stuck among the semi-free turns. Eliminating backlogs is an all-consuming activity, but traumatic for the hands and dangerous for the psyche.

For what UAZ trunk definitely worth using - it is for installing additional headlights. It’s up to you to install several separate light sources or mount ready block. You will find several successful options for tuning “chandeliers” in the article on the page.

This is what it looks like...

And this is how LED optics shine for SUVs.

We have only touched on a few aspects UAZ tuning. Follow the site updates and you will get a lot useful recommendations regarding UAZ tuning different models.

This utility vehicle is characterized by increased reliability, good cross-country ability in off-road conditions and adaptability to extreme use. But just going out into nature is not the same as going fishing or hunting, especially for a few days. For these purposes, both the UAZ 452 itself, often referred to as a “loaf,” and its interior are not entirely suitable, primarily in terms of practicality, convenience and comfort.

Let’s figure out how to properly tune the UAZ 452 “Loaf”, what to take into account, change, modernize in its design so that it best suits local conditions and the specifics of the application. And the main thing is what can be done on your own, and if with the involvement of professionals, then only for individual jobs.

Camouflage body color

Standard tinting options are no different. To “camouflage” the UAZ 452 as much as possible, you only need to have a spray bottle and a little paint on hand. Since camouflage is made depending on the season, and it has to be changed regularly, the cheapest composition is sufficient. In this case, issues of layer reliability, coating durability and similar nuances are irrelevant.

Experienced fishermen and hunters advise strengthening the body somewhat before painting. Driving over rough terrain, in ruts, especially in poor visibility conditions - all this is fraught with numerous impacts on the lower part of the side of stones, tree roots, stumps, and so on. Gradual deformation of the metal will lead to its destruction, including as a result of progressive corrosion. Sheets of aluminum attached to the bottom of the “loaf” (about half a meter) will cost much less than repairing it and completely repainting it.

Power bumper

These machine protection elements are attached to the front and rear. According to experts, they provide maximum safety when driving off-road. You will need little - metal (sheet steel, channel or pipes, depending on the design) and polymer paint.

And you can do all this yourself without going to a car service.

Mirror protection

The feasibility of installing such gratings is obvious. Any large branch and you will have to change the glass or align the holder (and only if you can do it).

Winch

You definitely can't do without it. Hoping for someone's help away from settlements and the roads are hardly worth it. For the UAZ 452, winches with a force of 4 tons or more are suitable (taking into account the load of the vehicle). A good option is a device from Comeupwinch (DV-9 series). Its reliability has been tested many times, and with proper installation, the mechanism will function flawlessly for decades.

It is worth paying attention to the winch cable. It is advisable to replace the existing metal one with Kevlar (for example, Amsteel Blue from the American company Samson or similar). It is lighter, stronger, and safer to use.

Trunk

When going outdoors, hunters and fishermen need a lot. It will not be possible to load everything into the cabin if there are people in it. Where to put tents, sleeping bags and other things. The optimal solution is to place a UAZ 452 on the roof.

Lighting

Even if a turning headlight is included in the factory equipment, it will not be enough when going outdoors. One of the good solutions for additional lighting is installing a “loaf” of LED panel on the roof. For example, “VisionX” modification of X-Mitter (shown in the photo). It will provide good visibility at least 250 m.

Or do this.

The bracket can be made from pipes, and fastening it is easy.

Tuning the UAZ 452 interior

Interior decoration

One of budget options– fastening moisture-resistant plywood over the sheathing. It will somewhat insulate the body of the “loaf” and improve the quality of its sound insulation. At the owner's request, other materials can be used. For example, rolled penofol with foil. The choice is large.

Backlight

It is advisable to install a couple of LED spotlights or one small panel on the ceiling, since standard lighting will clearly not be enough.

Furnishings

A few examples will be enough to understand how to improve interior design UAZ 452.

The problem of storing dishes, various utensils, accessories and other small things, which you cannot do without while hunting and fishing, has been completely solved with this tuning. Naturally, it is better to make the table folding, the tabletop of which is attached to the wall while the “loaf” is moving.

Heater

Judging by the reviews of many hunters and fishermen, the Webasto installation has proven itself well. With a power of 4 kW, it is enough to ensure a comfortable temperature in the cabin even in winter. Although a homemade “potbelly stove” is a good solution to the problem.

It is advisable to zone the salon. In this case, the rear compartment can be used as a small luggage compartment. For example, hunters will be able to store weapons there, and fishermen will be able to store their gear.

It should be taken into account that both fish and game are also odors that penetrate the cabin. To level them out, the rear compartment can be arranged like this.

An acoustic system in the UAZ 452’s cabin wouldn’t hurt, it’s quite easy to install.

The article discusses only some tuning options when preparing a “loaf” for a fishing or hunting trip. It all depends on the capabilities of its owner and imagination. A number of other improvements can also be made.

• Replace the steering wheel with a smaller one from a passenger car. But you will definitely have to install a hydraulic booster.
• Move (for convenience) the driver's seat to the right, close to the engine compartment.
• Finish the cabin and interior with sheet aluminum, placing sound insulation material under it. The issue of aesthetics is a separate issue, but the fact that cleaning will be much easier (and a lot of dust and dirt will be caused during fishing or hunting) is unambiguous.
• Modernize the engine compartment hood. For example, like this.

The modification is extremely useful, especially when driving long distances.

There are more complex options. For example, “lift” the car while simultaneously replacing the tires, thereby increasing the track.

Think, decide, do - and your UAZ 452 will become a real house on wheels for a hunter and fisherman.
