I have a '04 built Lada Niva 1.7 with fuel injection. Never let me down and even in the cold where most 4x4 vehicles get bogged as of their weight, the Niva just says gimme more. This paint job and the video is really good. Good job.
My first car here in Australia was a niva. When the engine stalled in this and you had to crank it a bit to restart the sound bought back memories haha. Loved the niva, but very high maintenance vehicles. As they say about the niva, "Always half broken, never breaks down"
I had one as my first car years ago and I felt the same when I heard the starter and the gentle rumble and whine of the transfer case. There is no car quite like them. I learnt with my first one to keep on top of it in terms of maintenance.
what beautiful looking car!! rear axle travel way is awesome. spotter is a bit wrong. need turn first right and then little left but Lada is so capable it doesn't matter😳😁
Back in the late 80s and early 90s I ran two new Nivas.Whilst the second spent its life as a family workhorse the first did all sorts of challenges. It regularly launched and towed a small sailing cruiser and often found itself ploughing through snow in the Cairngorms. Whilst living in Lancaster it explored rarely visited corners of the English lake district-obscure tracks to abandoned slate quarries being a speciality.In Scotland a still accesible Corrieayrack pass and the old Black mount road across Ranoch Moor come to mind.I also have a memory of sitting atop a peat hag on a wet darkening late afternoon I had just pushed Saltergate as far as possible(Lancaster to Ribble Valley) and had to reverse back in the dank and dreary weather. Sad to hear of their demise.

That's awesome! Great driving and great tuning! I'd like to know, if you have the whole list of your modifications? I'd love to hear from you, which modifications are worth to do them.
Everything looks mad, but the paint is really something. Like Auscam vehicle pattern but with like a coyote color in place of the olive drab. Sorta like Auscam desert might look, if we made an arid version of the pattern. What's the deal with the rubber coming out past the guards? Is that not a problem where it's registered or do you have detachable guards for on road use?
Hi Noises, the camo was inspired by the auscam vehicle pattern but with the tan base. The video was of the first run out after modifying it the first time round, we hadnt fitted the flares by that stage, you will see in later videos that arch flares were fitted.
they definitely can present a challenge at times, but if you keep at them and perform the right mods and maintenance they can be pretty reliable. Great cars.
I'm so glad you mentioned that...I had one for 5 years back in the early 90's...it broke down every 2 weeks and was too afraid to take it out of the metro area! But when it worked, it was great! Pity it was so unreliable at that time - mine was a faulty ignition module fault - and it was well known in owners circles that the gearbox would start to fail after 50 000km....electrics were dodgy and it was soooo slow...but it could go places many of my friends in their larger 4wd just couldn't...I had Pirelli Scorpions as a great compromise road/ light trail tyre and the car was stock standard....great design but so badly built :(

hello! i have some questions for you jajaj firts, where you buy the loockers ? and what blocks they are? i want to install on my niva lockers but i don´t know what to buy. what size of wheel do you have? your car is amazing!!
Great video, did you do anything to the suspension? it is crazy wide but still it does not break. If you have changes something please tell me as I am bulding my Niva Off Road project. Thank you
Дмитрий Иванов да не, не скажи. У владельцев, которые антикором обработали в свое время, до сих пор бегают)) от региона, конечно, тоже зависит, но в Ростовской области их еще очень много.
that paintjob reminds me of arma 3 painjob on tanks, like some kind of "digital futuristic" paintojob, but i like it. can you explain me why do you need those pieces of metal on the right and on the left of the tire on the back of the car ? do you use it for transporting canister of fuel ? and another question, it's not better to put the antenna on the "roof" of the car ? let's say you need to go across a river those the antenna not get damaged by the water ?
MIRAAK apocrypha you are correct, the brackets on the spare wheel carrier are for fuel cannisters. The radio antennae is better on the roof from a reception point of view but where I wheel the trees and foliage can close in and easily rip at the antennae if it was on the roof, so it is common for people to mount the antenna on the bull bar at the front. They usually are well sealed and don't seem to suffer even with river crossings etc.
What differential lock are you using exactly? Because I am trying to find lockebel differentials for my Lada but the only ones who I can find that says they are for lada is LSD differentials
No offence but I’m surprised you guys even know about Ladas since you like your Toyotas down there. I must say this is an awesome build though and I love the camo pattern.
Haha Jack, they were quite popular here once, they had a good reputation for offroad capability back then and were pretty cheap. They gradually faded away over the years. You might have seen one or two a day driving around back then but i havent seen one pass by on the road for years. They are around though.

Its great to be able to keep up with the much bigger offroaders, more than a couple of people have been very surprised at what a niva can do offroad.
True. But it cannot be used to drive 80mph on highway smoothly.

You are right about them not being made for those trails. I am putting a solid front axle in which will help alot in these conditions.
