Many people decide to emphasize the anniversary car UAZ 469. This car is off-road, you can buy a new one in the cabin in order to simplify tuning.
In order to evaluate the result of the tuning, it is recommended to first take a photo before it is completed, and then after.
Why UAZ 469?
There are a huge number of cars from the SUV class that can be modified. However, many connoisseurs of high-quality SUVs choose it.
Reasons to choose this particular model include:
1. The Euro-1 engine is installed on new models. This engine easy to perform, no electronic pedal gas or complex belt tensioning system. It is also worth noting the simple electronics that is installed in this model. All these features can be associated with high reliability similar engine, as well as the possibility of a thorough tuning.
2. Old axles have a good reliability index, and their design allows for refinement to improve the quality of cross-country ability or driving comfort.
3. The car was equipped with a five-speed gearbox, which is ideally suited to the installed engine.
4. A simple rear and front metal bumper will be replaced, but they do not add much to the value of the car.
5. Tailgate or door - many people ask themselves this question. If we consider this nuance, we can say that everyone has different preferences. That's why special significance type tailgate does not carry.
The cost of a car without various active options amounted to almost 340 thousand rubles. Such a price is attractive, since a certain amount of investments will be made at the time of tuning. UAZ 469 tuning - optimal choice for those who want to get a car with good cross-country ability, which will be unique.
The choice of the type of tuning and the preparatory stage
Before carrying out work, it is worth noting for yourself which car you want to get as a result:
- Hunting option with increased cross-country ability.
- Expeditionary car, which will be able to overcome difficult sections roads.
- Universal tuning that will allow you to use the car every day and to go hunting or nature.
Work on changing the UAZ begins with the complete dismantling of everything that is not needed - regular wheels, bumpers, all interior decor, a stove, and so on. All that remains after dismantling can be sold for reuse.
Salon tuning
When purchasing a car domestic production many are turning Special attention specifically for the salon, as it is always made with terrible quality. When creating a project to change the cabin in this case it was decided to create a multifunctional hatch that will be useful when hunting or just while traveling in nature off-road.
The created hatch, which was obtained by tuning the UAZ 469, has the following kind of features:
1. Large dimensions immediately determine that the hatch is hunting.
2. The hatch has two positions: with a minimum opening for ventilation and a fully open state.
When open, two guys in winter clothes can fit in the formed opening. Therefore, this addition will be useful for a car that will be used for hunting or as an excursion. vehicle. In order to prevent condensation on the surface at the time of use, the manhole cover was insulated. When open, the hatch is fixed.
The interior improvement didn't stop there. In order to improve the soundproofing of the car, the doors and inner sides of the passenger compartment were dismantled, the tailgate was also dismantled. The formed cavities were lined with vibration isolation, and then with sound insulation. After laying the insulating materials, the cabin was sheathed with aluminum sheets. All knocks should be treated with sealant, the floor was also changed: instead of a turtle, they made it even. All domestically produced cars have a simply terrible degree of heat and sound insulation. It seems that the UAZ plant has never heard of insulating materials. After completing the work, the car will become warm, quiet, vibration will be transmitted to a lesser extent from the road to the interior elements.
Another useful addition is the top shelf, which has become a place to store maps and other little things. The top shelf has been designed to accommodate various control keys and more. Thus, the front console was significantly unloaded.
The next change can be called the installation of another stove, which has more power, more outputs for interior heating. It should be borne in mind that the car will be used in winter time. Another addition that may not be carried out, but in our case it was carried out - an increase in the number of cigarette lighter sockets up to 3 pieces.
Finishing was not left without attention. Salon was taken from Honda CRV. Changes made have the following form:
- Leather trim. Despite many complaints, this material is quite durable and practical to use.
- The front seats are heated, which is important for such a car.
- Good opportunity for transformation. It is worth noting that with proper placement of seats, you can achieve the effect when, during the transformation, the interior turns into a sleeping bag.
- It is a large range of regulation rear seats in the longitudinal direction allows full use of the hatch.
- Rear passengers in a certain position of the seats can ride with their legs fully extended.
In addition, you can put the rear row seats so that the trunk volume increases significantly to accommodate luggage.
Suspension change
If we consider it, we can take into account that it is possible to improve the comfort indicators during movement by changing the suspension. Despite good cross, reliability domestic version performance, the Australian company DOBINSONS produces the best kit specifically for UAZ.
When replacing the factory equipment of springs, springs with a set of an Australian company, you can count on the following:
1. Suspension play and an additional 5 centimeters of clearance.
2. Significantly improves the behavior of the car on the road.
3. Increased comfort while driving.
Such a change is quite expensive and requires a large number time to do the work, but it's worth it.
Vehicle appearance
Full tuning of the car can not be carried out without changing the appearance.
In this case, the following changes were made:
1. Given the purpose of the car, special attention was paid to the light. Additional lighting has been installed taking into account the best location: the front of the bumper gives best review to illuminate the road. Also, the main and working light is installed on forwarding trunk.
2. Also, special attention should be paid to which wheels are installed. In order to increase cross-country ability, you should choose wheels with a good tread and a large diameter. Perfect suitable option with a dimension of 285x75x16.
3. In order to secure your car, you should think about installing a rear and front winch. When choosing, it is recommended to pay attention to the U4x4 option, which has proven itself well.
4. To strengthen the body structure, a power body kit is being installed. body is carried out with the installation of reinforced thresholds, front bumper with a platform for an already selected winch and a grate with arcs, which are necessary for quick fixing of the cable.
5. An important addition can be a special protection of steering rods. During overcoming some obstacles, it is the tie rods that suffer the most.
6. side windows often protected by bars. If the car will only be used off-road, protection can be installed on the rear and front windows. If the SUV will drive in urban areas, such protection will significantly worsen the degree of visibility.
7. Rear end The car has been modified with the OJ universal bumper, which combines a huge number of functions. So when installing it, you can count on the presence of the following elements: platforms for a winch and a hi-jack, a bracket for attaching a removable towbar, a backlit frame and good license plate protection.
Body tuning can significantly increase the protection of the car from external influences when driving off-road. At the same time, it is worth noting that some little things, such as additional lighting, can significantly increase traffic safety. Some body modification work also requires electrical upgrades and other work.
Engine tuning
Carrying out engine tuning is a responsible step. Despite the fact that initially the engine has a very good performance, many decide to carry out engine changes.
You can carry out UAZ 469 engine tuning as follows:
1. Piston - one of the most important elements engine, the modernization of which will lead to a significant change in the operation of the entire engine. When looking for pistons, you should pay attention to forged options, and rings - from proven and popular manufacturers.
2. It is not recommended to change the timing, since its incorrect selection and installation can lead to a completely undesirable result.
3. Changing the intake and exhaust manifold is a typical tuning for the car in question. To begin with, it is necessary to eliminate the formed steps between the heads and manifolds. Inside the channels of the collectors, the “teeth” should be removed. This change will cause the engine to breathe more freely and fill the cylinders evenly.
4. Native carburetors are distinguished by the absence of EPHH. A good replacement, which is quite popular, can be called DAAZ-4178.
5. Air filter can also affect engine performance. Many decide to replace the filter with the Volgovsky version. With the help of such a filter, you can prepare a platform to reduce the resistance of the exhaust tract.
6. The cooling system also leaves a lot to be desired. Considering the rather high loads that can occur when driving off-road, you should purchase a SHAAZ factory radiator. He possesses the best indicator heat transfer. You can also install additional fans, which will turn on at the time of high temperature.
7. A hotter thermostat will improve the operation of the stove, make it warm.
8. The exhaust system is represented by a regular muffler, which is recommended to replace the resonator from the Gazelle.
9. Electrical equipment is also subject to change. Recommendation for all owners - it is worth installing a generator from GAZ 53.
In conclusion, we note that by making such changes, you can get a practical, thoughtful car that is suitable for everyday use and for off-road driving.

The huge potential for modernization laid down by the designers in this unsightly and unpretentious car, already in our time has 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 don’t have enough qualifications or not 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 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 teeth.
In order to effectively break small trees and crush fearless moose 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 slightly expand off-road capabilities.
It is necessary 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 will achieve them normal operation in heavily polluted conditions. 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 it is necessary 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, on off-road qualities this does not affect, 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 one is the owner's wallet, but money can also be acquired.
(+ great video at the bottom of the page)
Quite a popular direction for finalizing and improving performance and its modifications (3151, Hunter) is internal tuning (revision and changes in the cabin).
At the same time, work of varying degrees of complexity is carried out. Starting from a simple replacement of gearshift knobs and ending with a complete replacement of the seats and the hauling of all interior elements ( door cards, ceiling).
On this page we will try to consider all possible refinements and alterations in the interior of UAZs, Bobiks and Hunters, which you can do yourself, or order in tuning studios. By the way, there are many offices on the market, who are professionally engaged in tuning UAZ .

It's hard to believe, but this photo really shows the UAZ after the alteration.
Improvement Work Types ( what can and should be done):
- Noise and heat insulation;
- Padding;
- Aluminum sheathing;
- Seat replacement;
- Installation of a non-standard dashboard;
- Alteration or replacement of devices;
- Sliding windows instead of standard ones;
- Installation of power windows;
- Air conditioning - installation and connection;
Viewing photos will allow not only to present the entire scope of work on internal tuning, but also to visualize the result of such changes.
Soundproofing with your own hands
Most often at the initial stage - before the main work on further alteration of the interior, produce partial or complete soundproofing of the UAZ interior. It should be noted that the more attention paid to the soundproofing process ( correct selection noise and heat insulating materials, the choice of glue and the method of fixing them) - the more impressive the results will be. That is, daily operation popular SUV will become an order of magnitude (sometimes several) more comfortable.

Interior upholstery UAZ 469
Also among the owners of the popular domestic SUV enough a popular direction of internal tuning is to change the upholstery of some interior elements or complete, including the ceiling, side panels and doors (sometimes dashboard and steering wheel). In this case, various modern and classic are used: fabric,.
Full constriction interior leatherette, made by hand.
Replacing and (or) hauling the upholstery of chairs on Bobik.
Padding of the ceiling and load-bearing frame.
We recommend reading more about the intricacies and details of this type of work in the section.
Replacing or altering the dashboard
Not so often, but still among the owners of the UAZ there are those who do not disregard such "noticeable parts of the cabin" - like the dashboard and the devices themselves. Which, in turn, can either be slightly improved (for example, changing the color of the scales or the illumination of standard sensors), or completely replaced by others, as from domestic cars, and on parts from foreign cars.

Such a dashboard can be bought from sellers of tuning parts and accessories. Looks like a choice of alternatives plastic dashboard for UAZ-469 in online and online stores is relatively small. And if you search, you can find pretty decent panels.
Additional or alternative devices
Usually if it comes to tuning the dashboard and dashboard , quite often there is an installation of additional auxiliary sensors and devices. Moreover, it can be not only purchased tuning devices, but also instrument indicators from other car models. And not necessarily foreign cars. Spare parts from domestic cars are often used.

Seat replacement
Installing seats from a foreign car instead of regular ones is one of the the best options for tuning the interior of the UAZ. Quite often, in this process, the complexity of the work is at a relatively low level, and the cost of used chairs is also often affordable, and the result can exceed the best expectations. Sometimes in UAZ 469 or Hunter they put from luxury foreign cars (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.). Examples of such installations can be seen in the photographs below.

Installation and connection of music in the cabin
To some extent, it is difficult to do without this in any approach to improving the interior (starting from ascetic options, and even more so in the case of serious alterations). Car audio and multimedia in Oise is real, although in most cases it is extremely irrelevant, taking into account the peculiarities of off-road operation. Therefore, with internal tuning, in any case, you will have to deal with installing music. Moreover, not only directly the head unit of the system, but also all related ones - amplifiers, acoustics, subwoofers and other "bells and whistles". Usually a simple UAZ gets by with a minimum of such equipment, but there are exceptions that amaze with the originality and power of the equipment.

An SUV in the household of the owner of a suburban area, taking into account the quality of the roads, is an excellent help, and sometimes even a necessity. Under the hood of such a unit there are almost a hundred, and sometimes even more working "horses", which, coupled with an impressive mass and running characteristics becomes a serious argument in the fight against off-road.
Why not use this power to improve traffic situation in the local area around the house winter period? Manufacturers have long been preoccupied with suitable attachments, releasing snow plow for UAZ and other SUV models popular in our country. Why not save money and make your own blade model, given that handicraft options turn out to be just as good, and sometimes even better than factory ones?
Factory option
You should not reinvent the wheel, it is much easier to peep how to make a dump on an UAZ from manufacturers. Most likely, it will not be possible to completely copy the factory suspended dumps, but it is quite possible to take some models as a basis. In addition, a detailed study of proven options will avoid many mistakes in the design and manufacture of your own snow shovel.
- Dump dimensions. The minimum blade width for sale is 1900 mm, this is understandable, the wheels are located at a distance of up to 1.8 m along outside in different models. The blade should cover this distance with a margin even in an inclined position, a width of 2-2.1 m would be ideal.
- Swivel mechanism. IN different models finger fixation in the center or the use of additional rods is provided. With such dimensions of the blade, it is better to use additional reinforcement.
- Fastening to the car. This unit provides the ability to lift the shovel vertically and sometimes protect the steering rods.
- Lifting mechanism. From the simplest legs for lifting the blade when moving backwards to winching mechanisms with manual or electric control.
- In order to cushion the dumps on the UAZ in the event of a collision with serious obstacles, you can make it movable and equip it with springs.
Design
Much depends on the availability of materials and technical skills. It is more reliable and easier to make a blade without a swivel mechanism, thus saving a little on materials and significantly reducing the production time, but this will reduce its scope. On the other hand, the rotary mechanism can become the most vulnerable spot design, its execution requires a certain margin of safety at the fixation nodes. Working surface the blade also requires reinforcement, it is important to monitor the weight of individual parts. It is desirable that the blade can be mounted and dismounted by one person.
To protect the surface to be cleaned, a rubber strip should be used, the fastening of which should be detachable so that the rubber can be replaced as it wears out. In the place where the blade is attached to the vehicle, it is necessary to provide for a possible sharp collision of the blade with an obstacle. Mounting points should not be located in front of important parts of the car.
Material selection
At this stage, the choice always remains with the performer, you can only advise or suggest where it is easiest to find suitable parts. 200 liter barrels have proven themselves as a material for a dump shovel, but, given the planned dimensions, 2 barrels or additional structural reinforcement will be required. Square or rectangular pipes can be used as guides and reinforcing ribs, it is also possible to use a rolling angle, a thin channel or I-beams.
For adjusting the angle of inclination of the blade, jumpers can be used with turnbuckles or pipes of different diameters with holes for fixing pins. When using a winch to control blade lifting, you will need additional material to equip the site for the winch itself and the system of blocks if necessary.
Homemade dumps on UAZ in the network
On the net, you can find many examples where artisanal craftsmen demonstrate the assembled dump on the UAZ with their own hands. The drawings of talented craftsmen are very diverse, some offer simplified options, others use various modifications, made sometimes more successfully than factory products.
Main stages and nodes
Where to start work in order to realize the planned dump on the UAZ with your own hands? The drawings must be made taking into account the model of the SUV, and there must always be some margin in size so that possible shortcomings can be leveled on the spot. First of all, it is best to equip the place where the structure is attached to the car. It can be either simple fixed brackets, or a whole platform like a “kenguryatnik” to accommodate not only a blade, but also a winch with a block system. The site can be made both in a permanent design and as removable structure, which is preferable, as it does not spoil the appearance of the car.
Next, you can start manufacturing the most massive part of the blade - a working shovel. It is best to choose the dimensions from the above written 2 x 0.6-0.8 m. Too large a plow cleans the snow better, but it will be inconvenient during installation and transportation. At the next stage, it is better to fix the blade in a working vertical position and so attach the remaining elements to it. It must be remembered that even simple blades on a UAZ without a swivel mechanism must be vertically movable, otherwise the car can be severely damaged during operation. The last step is to make control and rotary elements and attach them to the structure.
Lifting mechanisms
You can see options where manual is used as a lifting mechanism. drum winch, and it is controlled by a person located on the front platform. This is not very safe, it would be better to raise and lower such dumps on the UAZ after the car has completely stopped.
Using electric winches is much more convenient and safer, but not everyone is ready to spend money on such equipment. by the most budget option there will be a special stand that works when reversing auto, and to constantly keep the blade in top position in transport mode, you can use a lanyard.
Conclusion
The work of the master is afraid, they say. Do-it-yourself blade for UAZ, or factory assembled, will help you use your SUV not only as a means of transportation, but also as a faithful helper in the household.
