I lived in Russia for six years and got an opportunity to drive a Bukhanka once. 'Bukhanka' translates to 'loaf of bread,' which perfectly describes the vehicle's shape. The engine is inside the cabin, so it keeps you warm during those brutal Russian winters, and you can even make repairs from the inside without having to step outside. Boy, was I impressed!!!

I leave in Chile, most beautiful landscapes of the world. 😊 My appreciation is that you are giving the Buhanka a funny review but it does not make justice to it. At January this year (just before the war started 🤷‍♀) a friend of mine and I ( both are tough women jaja) decided to buy together the russians vehicles. Mostly for the price and 4x4 features. She bought a new UAZ Buhanka and I bought the UAZ Hunter. Her´s look exactly like yours... but new. The 2022 looks does not change much. Thats the beauty of this cars. You feel your self at the sixties. 😉 Sorry to tell this but the one that you have is really old or poorly mantained. People might think the Buhanka is a peace of junk and nothing far than that and .. yes... is a basic mechanical vehicle, almost nothing electrical, but Is very soft to drive, nothing like a tractor jajaja!!! Has a gentle driving and the most important thing why I bought my Hunter, you can use common spare parts if you don´t find the original ones. At this times with the recession entering all the countrys like a storm you do not know how will be the situation next year to repair vehicles if you need to. At least my Hunter, and as my friend tells me, the Buhanka too, are beasts to bad roads, you can drive them anywhere. They are made to drive in Siberia with 40 degrees celcius under 0. Other good thing of this vehicles is that they all have heated seats and... this I found awsome and strange for a so mechanical vehicle, they have and SOS gps system you can activate if you get lost in the middle of nowhere. Again.. they are made for russian whether and location. Im happy with my 4x4 UAZ Hunter. I give you a hug from the south of the south.

I'm watching this wonderful video from Russia😁 like you men! BUHANKA forever😂😂

[@genefortney9133]

Fantastic video, Andre, you have a great Russian van there! Enjoy!

[@TFLtruck]

Thank you!

[@jeep-forum_ru_Pavel]

@@TFLtruck it is no a problem to buy a disk brakes on timken axles. It is about 300-400$. Lockers (front and rear) and hydraulic steering kit is about 1000-1500$

[@SPEEDOFDOG]

I bought a wrangler brand new in 1990. Put a four inch lift with 33’s front air locker and a lock right in the rear. I had more fun with that jeep than any other vehicle I have ever had. Sold it in 2005. I regret that decision more every year. That van is very cool reminds me of the jeep forward control pickups.

If we were carrying water and ammo to the troops, the Buhanka can carry more. With the weight on the floor, the Buhanka would not be top heavy. It would be stable.

[@dherrendoerfer]

Actually saw a group of three Buchankas in Austria yesterday going up Fernpass, and another new one on a trailer close to Munich some weeks back, so there's a lot of them around seemingly. It's funny 'cos I pre-ordered an X-Bus which looks like a tiny electric copy of the UAZ-452.

[@greentland]

You guys should do something with Matts off road recovery. Seriously.

[@MrTruckTV]

That would be cool

[@ThomasAlkaersig]

Fun video, but it's kinda apples to oranges. The Buhanka is 100% utilitarian while the Jeep is all fun. If you want to bring some crew plus their equipment into Siberia for a hard day's work, the Buhanka is your choice, but if you want to go climb a mountain, have a picnic, or camp over night, the Jeep is your vehicle. :)

The high anxiety smile on Andre's face says it all. Now I want one!

[@capifsjshop]

Not a fair comparison, should run against an Astro van

[@Disabled_Vet_72]

I would love that Van.....I'd turn it into a 1970's Love Bus....LOL!!! With some lockers of course!

[@flyingninja1234]

The Jeep is nice, but can it sleep multiple people & go camping? No, no it can’t.

[@fromthesunnyside]

Um, not to be rude but please stop showing that "Keeps" guy. I get it a family member that wants to be a star that keeps asking. However, some of us have been there sense day one because this TFL was all about non stars like everyday people. The humility and relatability of the original crew (and Tommy) is what makes TFL so appealing. Even better that you all have have the same passions and knowledge about autos as the rest of us. Just my feed back.

[@rickkinnison9573]

That looked like a fun production.

[@Yotraj]

That was a fun watch. I'd like to make a recommendation to the jeep guy. I had a 72 CJ5 Renegade for 7 years and I took it off road quite a bit. One of the best things I ever did with that jeep was to put in some Oldsmobile Cutlass high end (for lack of a better term) seats! It makes the ride just sooooo much better and they're cheap! Again, nice, fun watch.

Got to love the hair loss commercial using a kid full of hair instead of an old bald guy. Lol!

[@davidrichardson6749]

Lol that thing is a 92? I was expecting it to be like a 68 or something. Crazy how that region was frozen in time for so long

[@TheTomco11]

The 452 first came out in 1965 (based on the 1958 450) and you can still buy one new today

[@littlekorjik2593]

A little more and Buhanka will again enter fashion trends)))

[@LukeEdward]

Mr. Truck. I have dealt with very similar “exterior dimensions” as you. The Wrangler seats can be adapted to give some more backward travel by a commonly found bracket, or by doing some creative redrilling of the seat mounts. Take a few minutes and, believe me, you’ll be much happier in that driver’s seat.

[@MrTruckTV]

Yes, my old seat did move back. I have to work on it as loosing weight doesn't happen

[@WheresHerb]

Just proves that it doesn't take 500+ hp to off road.

[@kkamp0528]

Andre and mr truck love it when you guys are together makes my day

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@ec6933]

A few things to note: Mr trucks feigning of interest or acting is almost unbearable 🤣 Andre off-roading was stressing out so bad that I was getting stressed out understandably so he needs some bigger tires for that van at least or some roll bars so he doesn't tip also his I'm sorry that was not a family-friendly comment made me spit my drink out. Lol

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Actually, adding bigger tires would only make it more unstable. Adding lockers, however, would allow him to take things slower, and more safely.

[@ddnmd]

Andre really brings the comedy to a very serious show.

[@rmwaye]

Andre's facial expressions are killing me 😂😂😂😂😂.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I think I want a Buhanka now. Reminds me of my 64 Econoline, only better. Ya, that wheel can hurt you.
