The UAZ-469B car is a “civilian” version of the UAZ-469 model - without a starting heater, drive axles with a single-stage main gear without final drives (ground clearance 220 mm), made on the basis of the drive axles of the GAZ-69 car, contact (on early models ) or contactless electronic ignition system. The driveshafts are slightly longer compared to the shafts of the UAZ-469 car. The car is open, with a canvas awning (cars with metal or fiberglass roofs are formerly tarpaulin, the hard top was installed separately or as an additional equipment), 2.4 liter engine, 4-speed gearbox.
The UAZ-469B was serially produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant from 1972 to 1985, after which, in accordance with the 1966 industry system, it received the four-digit number 31512 (number 3151 was given to the model with UAZ-469 gear axles).
UAZ-31512 was produced from 1985 to 2005.
Modification options:
1. A modification of the UAZ-31512-UMM with a metal insulated five-door body and installed additional special equipment was produced as a police patrol car.
2. In 2002, at the INTERPOLITEX-2002 arms exhibition, the Scorpion attack vehicle, created on the basis of the UAZ-3151, was presented: with a new 170 hp engine, power steering, removable armor panels, bulletproof glass, bulletproof tires and turret telescopic stand (on which a machine gun or automatic grenade launcher can be mounted). The weight of the vehicle increased to 2,880 kg.

The domestic SUV UAZ-469 is a car that is legendary and very popular among buyers to this day. It attracts with its low cost and reliability, decent technical characteristics and practicality. UAZs are purchased by both fans of off-road racing and connoisseurs of rarities. And you can use a car not only for travel, but also in small business, agriculture, and for fishing and hunting trips.
Technical features of UAZ-469
The car is based on a spar frame, which is very strong and resistant to torsion. It has a 2.5-liter power unit running on gasoline. It is relatively low-power - it produces 75 hp. s., but unpretentious and heavy-handed. On models produced since 1985, you can already see a slightly more powerful engine. It is capable of producing 80 hp. With. Accordingly, the driver can drive the car up to 115 km/h.
UAZ 469 with canvas top
The UAZ-469 can accommodate 7 people. The carrying capacity of the domestic SUV is 675 kilograms. Bobbiks were traditionally produced with a soft awning and metal extensions.
Initially, the car's ground clearance was 21 cm, but over time they learned to increase it to 30 cm. Since the 80s, new lighting equipment began to be installed on it, and hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers also appeared in the car.
In 1985, another modernization of the machine was carried out. She purchased a hydraulic clutch release drive, new lighting equipment, and an electric drive was connected to the windshield washer. The manufacturer also improved the heating system and installed a vacuum brake booster on some versions.

Advantages and disadvantages
The domestic SUV has its own distinctive features, both positive and negative. The obvious advantages of the car include its low cost and unpretentiousness. The vehicle is durable and reliable, and if breakdowns occur, it will not be difficult to fix them. UAZ is inexpensive to repair, and car owners can fix many problems on their own.
Of course, the product of the domestic automobile industry also has disadvantages. For example, the weak points of the car are considered to be the springs and gearbox. Owners also call car axles relatively unreliable. But if you buy military versions, the likelihood of breakdowns decreases.
Of course, many buyers are not happy with the low engine power. In addition, he is often capricious when maximum speed is squeezed out of him. In this case, you may encounter such a nuisance as an oil leak. It is recommended to pay close attention to the shock absorbers. Better yet, immediately change them to foreign ones.
To turn the UAZ-469 into a real all-terrain vehicle, you will have to invest in its conversion. For example, it is worth installing an inter-wheel lock on it and increasing the ground clearance. To do this, just choose impressive tires and wheels. With them, the ground clearance increases by several centimeters.

History of UAZ-469
The first domestic SUV was released in 1964. Russians quickly appreciated its simplicity and reliability, working with it in various sectors of the national economy. In particular, they even drove the Bobbik underground - there is experience in using it in underground tunnels in mines.
The UAZ-469 was produced not only by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Even foreign manufacturers borrowed this model. After all, the SUV, in a slightly modified form, was produced in factories in Korea and China. From the first years of its existence, the car managed to establish itself as very reliable and indestructible, and it was based on the Gaz-21 base.

Description of UAZ UAZ-469
The UAZ-469 was designed to transport cargo, people and towing trailers on all types of roads. Development of the car began in 1961, and the first prototype was built the following year. The car looks like an American Jeep - a tough, utilitarian SUV, but not very comfortable. It is interesting that already in 1965, images of the UAZ-469 could be found in the Soviet press, but the car was still far from being put into production.The first UAZ-469 rolled off the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant on December 15, 1972. They replaced GAZ (UAZ)-69. The Volga GAZ-21, well known to the mechanics of those years and known for its reliability and structural safety margin, was largely used as an aggregate base.
Under the designation UAZ-469, the car was produced until 1985, after which, in accordance with the 1966 industry system, it received the four-digit number 3151 (the civilian modification 469B received the number 31512).
In August 1974, three completely standard (without winches and traction chains) UAZ-469 vehicles reached a glacier on Mount Elbrus at an altitude of 4000 meters during a test run.
In February 2010, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant announced the resumption of production in a limited batch of a model called “UAZ-469” (index UAZ-315196). Changes have been made to the design to increase comfort (spring front suspension, front disc brakes, power steering (complete with metal roof), ZMZ-4091 112 hp engine), however, the solutions used in the original design are also used and have undergone changes: split Timken bridges, which received steering knuckles from Spicer bridges; metal bumpers complemented by plastic “fangs”; tailgate, previously used on the UAZ Hunter Classic).
In January 2011, the UAZ-469 disappeared from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant catalog, having reached the limit of 5,000 cars. The UAZ Hunter Classic has returned to its place, the price of which is significantly higher than the price of the 469.

UAZ-469 carries 7 passengers and 100 kg of luggage or two passengers and 600 kg. The car can tow a trailer weighing 850 kg.
To increase ground clearance (clearance) to 300 mm and expand the power range of the transmission, axles with reduced main gear housings and final drives were used, in which reduction gears were installed (but not on the civilian version).
In 1980, the external lighting equipment on UAZs was changed. The direction indicators at the front and rear received orange lenses, and a turn indicator repeater appeared on the side of the hood. At the same time, hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers were introduced into the suspension design instead of lever ones. Since 1983, the car has been equipped with an engine, model 414, with a power of 77 hp. A year later, an expansion tank and a sealed plug appeared in the cooling system.
You can write a comment
One of the most popular Russian SUVs is the UAZ 469. Its cross-country ability pleases every owner; it is used by many government services. This car can be called a real man's car. You can use it to go fishing and hunting in the forest, and you can conquer any off-road terrain with it. Today we will look at the dimensions of the UAZ 469 and its technical characteristics.
A short excursion
The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant has been producing a legend of the Russian automotive industry from its assembly line for almost 40 years. It appeared as an off-road vehicle. Its serial production began in 1972. The car immediately showed its character. First of all, its production was started for the requirements of the army. For military needs, there was an urgent need for a car that was unpretentious to road conditions, that would go everywhere and not be afraid of anything. This is how it remained for many, a Russian SUV, popularly called a “goat”.
Later, military and civilian versions of the UAZ were released. Until mass production of the UAZ 469 began, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produced a car also known to many as the GAZ-69

Limited edition
In 2010, the last batch of UAZ 469 cars was produced. This batch consisted of 5,000 cars. The car changed its name and came out under the number UAZ-315196. There have been changes in the comfort of the car. The car's suspension became spring-loaded. The front brakes became disc. In the configuration with a metal roof, power steering appeared. The car got a different engine - ZMZ-4091, with a power of 112 horsepower. The bridges have also changed, they have become split, and the car's knuckles have become rotating. The bumpers on the car were already made of metal, a folding tailgate appeared, like on the UAZ Hunter.
In 2011, the UAZ 469 ceased to be produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. It was replaced by the UAZ Hunter. Now you can buy UAZ 469 only on the secondary market. Even on the secondary market, this car is very much appreciated, given its price on the secondary market and its cross-country ability, this is an ideal Russian SUV for trips to the forest for fishing and hunting. Spare parts for it are inexpensive, it can be repaired at any service center, and good repairmen are not difficult to find. Many owners do their own repairs.
The legendary car of the Russian automobile industry - the UAZ-469 - is still popular among our population. It has been in serial production since 1972. Over such a long period of operation, the model has remained virtually unchanged in appearance: the same angular shapes and aesthetic appearance that have become familiar, a reliable frame structure, all-wheel drive, and easy maintenance.
Specifications
The UAZ, originally designed for the needs of the army, showed excellent results and capabilities in tests. The UAZ-469, whose technical characteristics were superior to its analogues, amazed customers. The engine produced 75 hp. With. with a volume of 2.5 liters. The relatively low power paid off with low revs, which gave the desired advantage off-road. Later, the engine became 5 “horses” more powerful, which allowed it to accelerate to 115 km/h.
The carrying capacity of the UAZ is 675 kg with a total weight of 2450 kg. Easily pulls a trailer with a load of up to 850 kg. External variety is provided by a soft canvas version, hard inserts or a completely metal body in later modifications of the UAZ-469. Technical characteristics were strengthened year by year.
In 1993, the SUV underwent some changes and received new designations. The military version became known as UAZ-3151, and the civilian version - UAZ-31512. In 2010, the car received its name: the proud name Hunter and a new gloss.
As for technical equipment, the UAZ-469 is a masterpiece of Ulyanovsk engineers. A special feature of the braking system was a two-chamber master cylinder, dividing it into two working components for each axle separately. The clutch to the 4-speed gearbox was made via a hydraulic drive. The steering featured a split column. During the modernization process, carburetors were changed. The last option in 1985 was the K-131, which replaced the K-129V.
Tuning UAZ-469
The big advantage of the UAZ is the ability to modify and add various equipment. The main points include:
- Increased ground clearance.
- Installation of a winch.
- Various external decorations.
First of all, the owner of an SUV wants to increase its cross-country ability. And the easiest way is to increase the size of the wheels. The vehicle's arches and the strength of the axles leave plenty of room for choice. Sometimes it is enough to install high tires of 31 inches, and the UAZ will be pulled up beautifully above the ground. To raise it even more, it may be necessary to trim the arches and install special spacers between the frame and the body. In this case, the size of the disk is most often not increased, but reduced, setting the radius to 15 instead of 16.
The second point, of course, is a winch, or better yet two: one is placed on the front bumper, the other on the rear. True, this “decoration” also has a minus: an increase in the weight of the car as a whole. Which is the exact opposite quality of increasing the cross-country ability of the UAZ-469. The technical characteristics of the “bobby” will show their best side. An expedition trunk and a ladder on the rear door will be a beautiful and practical addition.
Tuning the UAZ-469 will become brighter and more noticeable when installing the kengurin. This may add extra pounds, but it will give you the opportunity to quickly move through light undergrowth. Those wishing to operate an SUV through certain water obstacles should acquire a snorkel and carry out additional sealing of the engine compartment.
The UAZ-469 car, the price of which ranges from 50 to 200 thousand rubles, naturally becomes more expensive due to the installed add-ons. Changes in appearance will not add cross-country ability to the car, but will express your individuality. Such moments include painting, applying airbrushing, replacing stamped wheels with cast ones, installing hood and window bumpers, and installing additional optics.
Power unit UAZ-469
The UMZ-417 engine, as well as some of its modifications, is installed on the people's favorite car. Its capacity is 2.5 liters and corresponds to 75 liters. With. The military and civilian versions differ in designation: the number 8 at the end for the first and 9 for the second. The UAZ-469 military engine has shielding for high-voltage wires and a distributor sensor. The power unit itself is made of a special aluminum alloy, and the cylinders are made of cast iron liners.
The engine of the UAZ-469, the technical characteristics of which correspond to its profile, is as easy to operate as it is to repair. This is facilitated by the availability of components and their price.
Conclusion
To summarize, it can be noted that the fame and popularity of the UAZ is well-deserved. The maneuverability of the UAZ-469, the price of components, the availability of maintenance and modifications to suit your taste, the classic appearance of a rarity - these are the simple components of success.
