UAZ Hunter Review

A UAZ Hunter showed up at our front door step randomly and we felt a need to figure out just what exactly this machine was. Needless to say for the money this is one fun rig. Follow along with Nate as he talks about the details and ride feel of the Hunter.

[@Kaynert]

You can call it SUV. It means „Siberian Utility Vehicle“😀

[@PARTOUTaccessories]

Can do!

[@bassmith448bassist5]

Too cool!!!!!

[@TheKaiser83]

😂😂😂😂😂 awesome!!

[@alexshepherd1741]

Ulyanovsk is located in Europe, it's VERY far from Siberia. At least fifteen hundred miles.

[@donenekaugummi3275]

Kaynert I am a big fan from you !😋😍. Pleas mache weiter with your videos about the Rostlaube from Russian 😁😂.

[@saadfarisal-azzawi9457]

I use to have one of these when I was a kid. You said that you are not sure why it has two gas tanks. The reason behind that is that this was originally designed as a military vehicle so when you go deep on a mission on enemy's land you use one tank and once that tank is empty you know that you reached the point were you need to turn back if you want to return to the point where you started otherwise you will be stuck in enemy's territory. In the military versions like the one I had, there should be a valve under the driver's seat that would allow you to shift between gas tanks.

You drive in 4WD low on the road? Thats why it sounds so rough and you have problems to turn the steering wheel.The 4WD is only to used offroad,onroad you will damage the system

@@Alex1vu This car have no deferincial between axies, you will kill all u-joints. 4wd offroad only.

[@jack87krosby52]

@@user-ms5yl6ut1t that's myth. Surely it's not for everyday asphault 4x4 mode exploration, but getting out of mud pit to dry asphault, you usually gonna do it 4x4 on. Creeping rockyslopes also 4x4 on. Rolling at winter over asphault covered with ice and snow, also 4x4 on. It's not forbidden according to manual. True part-time is ok for winter roads 4x4 on even faster than 60 mph. Joints are tough enough. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4SXo2aEfMtlfK8

[@siriok9563]

I drove an UAZ 1975 model was a tank. Two fuel tanks for long drives plus spare fuel military can for emergencies. Even the Fuel filter was made of steel. Great offroad car! You can fit inside 7 armed soldiers on Seats and extra 3 soldiers sitting behind with the back door open.

[@stefanfreestylez]

My dad once had to registor i think one of his modified ones and was forced to stamp frame with a vin. The guys doing the job eventually gave up when they wrecked their tools. The vin comes painted on from factory so idk what kind of steel they use but these things are clearly unbreakable lol...a modern car if u take a bigass hammer to it youd crack it in half.

[@user-is4eb5ne2f]

You can go to Mexico and buy a new one facebook.com/uazmexico. Or find an old one and import it as a retro car.

[@santiagocardenas4661]

you can get them in mexico about 200 miles from the southern texas border

[@exxusdrugstore300]

Simple and bare bones, but I would bet the quality/fit and finish are generations behind anything from the west. It might look cool but when stuff starts falling off going down the road?

I lived in Central Asia for 10 years. Owned a 468 then a Hunter. Loved them. The sounds brought back found memories. Living in Mexico now, looking into buying one here. "No-nonsense, purpose-built" nails it. And I never took mine beyond 55mph.

[@albertodanielli8777]

I have a uaz buhanka and it start nicely. Cheap car done without many thing and very good off-road. They last you long time if you take care of them. They are little rough but they are cool

Is it true that they are unreliable? I want to buy one to convert in to a camper van. I was thinking of the Loaf or Japanese Vans like Urvan or HiAce.

[@albertodanielli8777]

They are reliable. Do not expect same finishing

[@BangBang-ew3wq]

[@Tillerman56]

As you can see in this video, this is not a vehicle for bad drivers that are used to automatic gearboxes, soft seats, all kinds of computerized driving aids. You have to drive this this car yourself. That makes it a great vehicle.

Thank you very much. I have one as well. Summer time I take off the canvas, bent down the screen and I drive a road legal openair car, what even has not got safety belts, because my one a "retired" army car. I put a diesel Mercedes engine in, since this time I don't have any issues with ignition system and carburator. I day by day amaze about symplicity of this car. Symple, 7 seater, 4x4, the parts are coasts like an icecream. There are army car breaker shops here, everything is available. Cleaning: Just open the doors, and wash by same jetgun inside, as you use for outside. The doors have big pockets, 2 liter of coke is ok. Not fast. But my country is full with speed cameras as well. The UAZ's superpower is: light. This car's weight is 1500 kg. Amazingly good at offroad conditions. Sometimes I am surprised, sometimes I am scared :D Greatings from Hungary

[@FrankensteinAce]

Love that theres finally an English review of the UAZ, but as a UAZ owner man did you guys get a pretty rough example of one, that gearbox/transfer case sounds like its falling apart, definitely will be keen to see you guys review one thats not falling apart.

This car just came in to SaudiArabia and it's very cheap i wonder as college student that works with his car is it good?

Yikes, 100mph in that must be wild ride! Good to know it can handle highway speeds just fine.

[@joistein]

Can the front window be opened, it looks like it can?

[@ssmith4013]

The UAZ 469, was based on the GAZ 69, which was based on the WWII Willys Jeep. I think from the whine of the straight-cut gears, you had it in 4WD, or 4WD low. The only thing that call kill these is rust(and will very quickly). If they galvanized the frame and made the body out of stainless steel, this would last like 200 years, and be my dream vehicle.

[@jakekaywell5972]

There was also the GAZ 67, which is basically the Soviet Jeep. Then the 69 came after it and we now have the 469.
