Buhanka needs its own channel!
Oh yea!
Here in germany you will find some/many special Buchanka-Channel,means via UA-cam you will find them.
I would definitely watch a buhanka van life channel
Buhanka means Bread Loaf in Russian ))))))))
Andre is such a genuine presenter, a real pleasure watching his videos. Keep up the good work.
Much better than Roman for sure
Where is he from?
to make it clear: in Russia now buhanka is used mainly by lovers of natural entertainment: fishing, hunting, picking berries and mushrooms. They ride it right through the forests, fields, swamps. The track that was passed on it here is its natural habitat.
Part of what makes TFL so successful is the characters on the show. You can tell its REAL reviews from Genuine people. (PLUS all the cool OLD and NEW cars)
Thank you for the kind comments.
Performance was as I suspected. Too many people don't give open differentials much credit anymore. A lot of people speak of tires being the difference, but when shown just how right they are, they still seem shocked. Your size of tire is more than adequate. The aggressive tread for this terrain was more than adequate in an open differential as long as it is making contact with the ground(duh)and enough power to turn the wheels, you are golden. Enjoy it.
Super cruise, autonomous driving, left hand key ignition like a Porsche, what a fancy car you have there :)
In Russia, the buhanka is often called the machine of the apocalypse. There are no electronics in it, the engine can run on almost any fuel, you can repair the car with a sledgehammer and chewing gum.
Such a cool van. I saw one here in England back in the summer at a show. It was converted into an overlanding rig, though it also had a 4BT Cummins conversion with a 5speed trans.
That had to be awesome.
@@richfarfugnuven6308 Hi, It was. I didn't have a great deal of time to chat with the owner as he was preparing to leave but he said the engine and box came out of a 7.5 tonne Daf Cabover,. So I'm assuming it was a ZF unit and he was running it through an NP205 divorce transfer case. He said though that he wanted to do a Dana axel swap at some point. Truck was so cool though. I'd love to do something similar.
Andre you're my favorite at TFL. 🇷🇺🇺🇸
Following you from Switzerland. 🇨🇭Keep up the good work 💪
Eben! LG aus Luxemburg!
Thank you for watching. Much appreciated.
@@TFLoffroad I wonder if good shockies will help the ride, unless you're happy with that at the moment.
I saw your guys last year, they got to Baikal on WV which model did not pay attention
Буханка... это народное название эта машина приобрела за схожесть с булкой формового хлеба. Первоначально автомобиль создавался как внедорожный фургон для перевозки раненных по заказу Министерства обороны СССР. Он и до сих пор верой и правдой служит как санитарный автомобиль в местах где нет дорог, а как у нас в России говорят "есть только направление"!) А также работает для почтовых перевозок, в фермерских хозяйствах (в модификации грузовичка)... Народ же его использует для внедорожного туризма. У нас на Байкале на таких возят туристов по острову Ольхон...
In Russia ROAD IS ROAD
@@yobuddy9425 In Russia, road is the place you want to drive through.
Открутить плафоны и поймёте почему буханка😂
Bukhanka is very very good for offroad. This vehicle is unstoppable!
Definitely one of my favorite vehicles on the show. Thanks Andre
I absolutely love how you have to get out of the vehicle to switch it into 4x4 mode. 😆
Wish I could join for this and make it something like "Is Buhanka really better than a stock 4Runner (except for tires) if a-trac & lockers not used". To my eyes Buhanka did better when it comes to gearing and solid axles. Absolutely love the Buhanka videos Andre.
Thank you.
Finally more Buhanka content. Love your ride man!
I want to see a buhanka series! Built out, road trip, off road. I just love that thing!
That old trick of getting out in low range really works. I got to ride in a very built rock crawler that had such incredibly low gearing (dual transfer cases if I recall) that the guy could be his own spotter. It went maybe 6 inches per second in the lowest gear on level ground and he would actually hop out, go look at where his tires were about to crawl up an obstacle, then hop back in a steer as necessary. Who needs 360 degree cameras when you can just hop out and look up close for yourself, haha
Oh yea!
@@TFLoffroad, Hello
The advantages of military gear bridges compared to civilian ones often include:
1) The clearance is 11.8 inches instead of 8.6 inches for civilians, if you use Ya-192 rubber on the military bridge. In all other cases, the difference is not 3.2, but 2.4 inches.
@@TFLoffroad
2)More torque or "thrust". This advantage is important for towing and transporting heavy loads, as well as when driving through mud at low speeds.
@@TFLoffroad
3) Higher reliability due to the larger size of the teeth of the main pair.
4) Higher reliability due to the even distribution of the load between the final drive and final drive.
5) The military were developed, including for installation on tank column escort vehicles, they received the approval of the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union after development.
@@TFLoffroad
If you install locks on a civilian UAZ and wheels larger than 33 ", then you will have to change the axle shafts, cv joints and main pairs. The locks are not created for the UAZ, but for the armored personnel carrier. In addition, the locks are not intended to be used as an interwheel differential and these functions are not performed very well well, because the car can lose a lot of controllability.
Military bridges are much more reliable than civilian ones. Yes, in the event of failure, they will require large financial costs for repairs, but the probability of a breakdown on them is much lower. Because of this, all owners, especially those who appreciate the opportunity to go out into nature, hunting or fishing, are gradually moving from civilian bridges to military ones.
That is an awesome machine. I would love to have one. ❤
That is one insane non-American off-roader van (not too heavily modern like the Sprinters)! Awesome job, Andre!
Type in the search bar "Kamaz off road", press Enter and browse! ;)
To me, it did better than most modern vehicles off road. The buhanka is definitely built different. I absolutely love that thing and its own playlist would compliment it very well...... great, now i want a buhanka
Спасибо за видео. Я с отцом на такой скорой помощи ездили. Я и в Америке на скорой работал по стопам отца. Спасибо хорошие воспоминания! Андрей хороший английский!
I am definitely into aerodynamically sleek, efficient, driving assisted, slow and boring modern cars - the Buhanka is however truly refreshing. Keep it coming!
🥰 I love to see the Buhanka always
Thank you for watching.
I see how strong your hands are now 🤣
Bulhanka is like a tank.
The unsophisticated nature of the buhanka is refreshing, excellent video.
Reminds me of the '66 VW van I once owned, same color, the same easy-to-fix mechanicals/electrics, the same no-frills interior, and same *really* bouncy ride because you're sitting over the front axle.
Love seeing the Buhanka in its natural element! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
I love the breadloaf, it has the charm of a VW van but it's very capable off road.
Of all the old vehicles you guys got this one is the coolest by far! Now, you HAVE to do Black Bear Pass on this!
I've been waiting for this. Freaking awesome stuff. Gotta learn how to ride that clutch Andre.
How do I give this more than one thumbs up? I've been hoping for this since the coarse was built, and the bread loaf did not disappoint! 👏
I am in love with the Buhanka!
When my uncle used to have sheep, he'd put his F250 in 4low and 1st gear. He could slow crawl the truck and walk around it and unload the small square alfalfa bales 1 piece at a time and feed his sheep.
Very impressive! Did much better than a lot of newer vehicles. I would add power steering if possible though. Great video!
Thanks 👍
And maybe 30/9.50R15 tires instead of the 31's. That would help with less body contact.
Finally a true off road truck! 🔥🔥🔥 спасибо Андрей за ностальгирую 👍
Love this rig! Thanks running the course.
Awesome, you can bet your Buhanka I was waiting to see this!
Here far away in germany you can buy them brandnew.
I've gotten my new 2022 Buchanka "anniversary" - model (code 2206) last year at april.
With my words it's each dollar/euro worth to buy them.
It's not a secret about missing quality standards of the time of today and you have to fix some things BUT if you seal and waxing or greasing the chassis and driveline soon, you will have lot of fun for a long time.
Over a time of ten months, i driven 11.000 mls. and will never miss each mile on the odometer.
On the other side I read many comments here at UA-cam, often with a potty mouth or shitty statements about the Buchanka.
But if you aks some of this hater's, no one of them handle or own this dinosaur for himself. Most haters argue from hearsaying and spray this negative comments again and again...
The Buchanka has a special character of his own, like his owner...same special character in need.
If you an good mechanic or technician, you will find anytime a spot to fixing or for upgrading but all times you can fix them without a expensive mechanic garage!
The best offer for an Buchanka sounds the "anniversary" (code 2206) or "expedition" (code 3909) modell, both models including the heavy duty SPICER/DANA-axles with electric differential locker which works well. Next to invest BF GOODRICH AT tires and a RIF-heavy duty leafsprings with 2" higher than standard and 700 pounds more payload and a steering damper.
The 2206 and 3909 offers seat heating and slide windows...
But the first and that's very important, the complete car must be protected with wax or grease like "Mike Sanders".
The Buchanka offer a wide range to use it... If I need a break from the daily hard work, I "climb" the driver seat, start the very quiet engine, warm it up and than you will enter another world on the road, like the 60's in the past.
I can't look at this car without smiling. Many years have passed since I managed to ride this car, but I still remember the smell of gasoline in the cabin and the creaking of the chair, doors and everything that only creaks. I understand that this car was created as the cheapest off-road minibus, but I cannot understand why it is still being produced.
@Dios because the more things change in Russia the more they stay the same .
I left USSR in 73 came back in 2011 for a look around . Yes the architecture changed ,
but the psychology and outlook of majority of people stayed the same.
This Buhanka 4x4 reminds me of when my buddies and I used to do some 4-wheeling back in the 1960's with our old Willys Jeeps and a Dodge Power Wagon, those were good fun times!
Andre's lucky to have this one to play with today.
Love the Buhanka content! It's an amazing machine. Even more impressive doing this without power steering 😂
Don't worry about damaged part, everything that car doesn't like fall away with time by itself and it will become perfect.
It was more entertaining to watch the Buhanka on the course then many others, IMHO. Thank you.
I'm not Russian and I don't know much about these vehicles other than what I've watched on this channel, but I want one. I love the paint colors accent colors that you did with it. It's perfect!
For absolute authentic presentation you’d wear a vatnik and ushanka. 😊
But anyway, off-road capabilities of Buhanka are amazing. ❤
And valenki!
@@r.hagenau3541 Exactly
Hope more car manufacturers bring back solid as hammer 4x4s with the same old styling. Something which sits over Leaf springs, solid axle front and rear and is powered by a larger displacement long stroke pushrod engine. Just as how Harley Davidson, Indian and Royal Enfield still keeps making those old fashioned cruisers with better refinement.
That was awesome! Love the Buhanka videos. Thanks Andre.
Definitely want to see more buhanka videos!
This needs to go on the White Rim! Would be an awesome overland old vs new comparison video there!
Great video, chant wait to see the Buhanka taking the entire course.
You’ve got to tackle the whole course in future videos.
Finally! I’ve been waiting on more content of this vehicle!
Very impressive for the Buhanka, what it lacks in technology it makes up for in toughness
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
First, Andrey is the best! So real and don to earth! Thanks for always making excellent content with honest and genuine presentation. Second, your Buhanka is so cool! I find it a lot more interesting than most of the new vehicle content. That thing has so much character, I wish I had one!
Such a cool van. I can tell you really love it.
He He..., rubs on the fenders like in my RC rigs! Nice 😁😁😁
Andra I absolutely love your War Wagon. Your videos are awesome 👌
Old school "Rock Crawl" mode👍👍
It's an Uazik they go anywhere and do anything ambulets, police, people mover and more. That's why they use them in the army, they are indestructible 😆. We drove this and UAZ 469s.
I personally loved GAZ 66 and GAZ 131 my favorite. Thank you for the memories. Always watching your videos and reviews. GOD bless.
Very impressive performance! Thanks Andre!!
Lol those logs looked terribly painful to experience
Punishment!
Get after it buddy, been waiting patiently for months to see this🤙
Thank you for the feedback.
Amazing van! Thank you for the video!!!
Aww I wanted to see you try Tommy’s demise in that thing 😂
Yikes! I hope to get there soon!
Oh, no! It's the Big Bad Wolves, off to get Masha!
really cool Andre, your van is awesome.
Of the stuff you guys do I couldn't possibly care less about the latest touchscreen wonder machine....this is what find cool the different be it this or some other quirky van or car
This however is my favorite
cool video. looks to be a little fast if geared in low range. There were a crap-ton of UAZ vans, Jeeps and utility vehicles during the 70s. As an Imagery Analyst for the US Army, watching our adversaries in Eastern Europe, they were everywhere.
they are still everywhere in eastern Europe but rust is reducing that number.
It is fast because he has larger than original wheels on it.
Andre was clearly having a Blast! Awesome video.
I wonder if that van even has bump-stops on the front axle? Perhaps some surgical sawzall work would also help. Very Capable machine 👍
Wow! The Buhanka is more capable than I gave it credit for.
who needs power steering when you have muscle 😂🤣😂
This beast looks like it's going to tip over at any time
It's funny how an open diff soviet van is almost unstoppable. Such a cool beast andre!!
Definitely the vehicle to have post apocalypse.
Great video, certainly a unique rig in the US. That narrow axle width combined with the high height of the van looks like it would be super sketch once you start getting off kilter.
This would be the perfect overlanding vehicle if it had a modern drivetrain and a DIESEL engine. It's the perfect size and ground clearance.
This is great. :) You are perfect. Greetings from Slovakia
Thank you! Cheers!
Buhanka. Thank you Andre. Love your videos.
Man we tried one whilst in Central Asia. I’ve driven defenders and Suzuki jimny… that’s the extent of my off-road credentials. For me the Buhanka was just amazing in terms of off-road ability.
Thanks Andre!
My pleasure!
Andrey -after giving up the F150, will the Buhanka become your daily driver? You could do a series on that :)!
No, the Buhanka's maximum speed is 55 MPH - unless I put a 5-speed manual in it (versus 4-speed). I daily drove it for a couple of weeks last year, but it cannot go very fast.
Bukhanka are used to travel between villages in Yakutia. Used to go through off road mountains and can survive the coldest winters in the world. Very easy to fix and cheap.
Please make a video with all the details and options. Also I would be interesting to see what people from the USA think about it. Maybe a city ride and collect people’s reactions? I wish you all the best!
Worked pretty well for not having even a centre diff or lsd's. Upgrade time!
I do suspect it probably came with limited slip diffs, though they might be a bit worn. Eastern Bloc off road trucks usually have some type of automatic locker or limited slip. You should see if you can find a bigger eastern bloc truck to import like a Kamaz or KrAZ or Tatra, obviously getting one out of Russia is not going to be possible anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a bunch of older used examples floating around Eastern Europe.
There is no limited slip difs in UAZ axles. The diff locks for UAZ diffs came as third party options only few decades ago. I do know those things as a person who have lived under Soviet occupation and seen those vehicles daily and been 4x4 fan..
@@landy4x4ee There are stock limited slip differentials available for UAS since 1980s
I owned a UAZ 469B I loved it and lasted forever and easy to repair and fix anything I sealed the oil leaks and never an issue
I need more Buhanka
I may be able to help :) I've created a "UAZ-452 (Buhanka) UK & International Market" Facebook group, where we currently have six vans for sale. We could help to source more as well. I am UK based, which means it would be easy to ship to North America.
Glad to see the van make an appearance
Wish they would import these vans and the jeep version into the country. I think there is a market for these vehicles.
Good little simple bus. I had a Lada Niva with a small lift and some good tires, and the thing would go anyware.
You know what works good? A throttle cable you can pull and remain a constant RPM
Strong like ox. Narrow tires
I heard of a BOHONKUS but never a BUHANKA! Some might say they appear to be very similar. But I wouldn't. I love it! Awesome 👍
Andrew buy a uaz military axles with discs brakes. Buy lockers "Hard block" air or electric.
Buy zf hydro steering and Bukhanka give you some happiness
Love that truck and your videos.
If the Buhanka has AWD, the trenches wouldn't be a problem.
...the Buchanka offer 2wd/4wd/gear reduction and some special models have SPICER differential lockers... For each type of trenches the right concept 😉👍
Yay, a Buhanka video! Such an interesting vehicle. Nice Andre!
That thing is flippin awesome. can't wait to see the vanlife build out
It's a 50 year old Russian cheap car. You can't expect miracles. The old Mitsubishi Delica L400 is far better or VW T3 syncro. But it's beautifully retro and fun to play with.😀😀😀 Many greetings from Czech Republic to Andre.
Hey Andre, nice work! So when’s the bread loaf going to Moab 🚌 ⛰️😅
It isn't really "mid engined", it is a cab over or forward control. The engine is is basically the same place as it would be in a front engine truck, just the body and seats are in a different place.
About time Andre, I was thinking you pulled a Nathan on me and sold it (Suzuki Samurai). Locking Hubs, Manual Transmission, 80% of Americans couldn’t drive it. I’d say if a black one picked you up with 4 guys in suits in Moscow you’d had a real bad day. The ole gal did great!!!
