I was thinking that too but couldn’t figure out how to make it work without being permanent because it would have to use differential breaking to turn and this Lads has a welded rear Diff haha. I was thinking of something you can drive up on to and attach the drive wheels to the rear car wheels.
Old RWD ladas are laready over 1000€ despite the condition in Finland. Maybe you might find one for few hundred if you are lucky and seller does not know its value. Too many trade school kids have wrapped them around electric poles so numbers are diminishing etc. In Russia this seem to be their fate:D.
anyone know who makes or what brand the red gray and black jackets they're wearing? my friend from slovakia has the same exact one and he dont know who makes it or what brand it is
At least you tried, has me wandering if the car you were told about was used in short distances or, as you brought up, longer length of cable for greater distance. Also wander about making it gear/chain driven
I just want to go and hangout with these guys! They know how to have fun!

So now let's improve it slightly. 1. Some kind of quick disconnect could be useful. Even smaller screws or some locks. This way whenever you get to the end of the cable, you just swap them diagonally (rear left to front right) and continue. 2. Safety cable release. This cable needs only some securing. Mostly it should prevent spin on the wheel but should fall off when you pull it the other way. This way when it's end, it will just fly off. 3. Improving previous idea, more joint points so you can more precisely fasten the cable and have less length difference on both sides preventing this violent steering wheel shake.
That's such a specialised solution for a problem. But yeah, if you really need 4WD, or a winch, and the only tools you have are a welder, a steel rope and a few spare rims - no worries! Apocalypse skills, right there! xD LOL
Fill a tire with air and small ball bearings? Or just small ball bearings? That might be interesting. Heck, fill a tire with bells for the holiday season?
This looks great for getting unstuck in mud or sand or snow or whatever, and then on solid more surface to go again in 2wd, but not a permanent thing for trying to get 4wd on your 2wd vehicle.
would be cool to see this done with a locomotive style coupling rod instead of the cable system, should be more efficient, wouldn't have to wind and unwind a spool
Next step, would be to operate a car, using an outboard motor(on a trailer), and electric motors on the wheels. Or use a drive shaft from the outboard motor, to turn the car wheels.
A belt so you can keep going would be awesome! OR. How about putting a 4x4 diff in the front, and connect front to rear with prop shaft, with a sprocket on the trans, and props shaft???????? Full-time awd!
If the asymmetric partial AWD system that's on the new prius is anything to go by, you don't really need much extra power on the extra set of wheels to see some small benefit.
If they had made a perpetual looping they could go indefinitely. Make three loops around the front followed by three loops around the back, then join the two ends with a cable spanner. ( front, start inside edge of wheel wrap toward outside edge, rear continue outside edge of wheel layering towards inside edge. then connect both ends ).
5th On the next one how about if you wrap cable around one rim and then go back to the back room wrap at one time and connect it to be a consistent loop
What's in the picture is a device you use to pull a car out of a patch of mud or a hole. You wrap a cable around a tree and as the wheel spins it winds the cable up at the wheel and pulls the car forward if you have no traction it works well.
The problem of using it like 4 wheel drive is the front wheels turn left to right shortening and extending the distance between the front hub and the rear hub.
Try using steel rods with balls joints welded to the rims. You could use two per side if you spaced one further out from the car than the other so that they don't collide upon rotation. Sort of like a locomotive
Ummmm thats actually a make shift winch in that pic, seeing as Toyota 4 runners are already 4x4 that would be quite pointless, while what you're trying to accomplish is a completely different idea all together, it should work, but I just wanted to point that out because I've seen the vid of that winch being used, works great btw
I want to see the system that's on the car in the thumbnail! I friggin love these guys!!! I'd love to go to Russia and kick it with them for a day. Those dudes are hilarious!!! 🤣😂🤣😂👍
It will be much more stable if you have front wheel drive. The chain or cable won't jolt you near as hard because the steering and power are on the same wheels.
This would probably be a good thing to include in n emergency kit, but with a sprocket you could simply take your lugs off, mount, and attach a belt or chain to. No need to worry about winding it back up then.
Make it like a train 4 wheel drive system with a push rod driving the other wheel with a ball joint to steer. Id love to see some theories an engineering.
Reminds me of something I saw in an old game show where someone did something like chaining a car's axles to haphazardly convert it to four wheel drive... I think it was some American offshoot of Full Metal Challenge that aired on Spike over a decade ago...
I wonder if a figure 8 would work, with tension pulleys? However, there would have to be something on the rims to prevent slippage of the cables' Also I wondering if sprockets and a long chain might work? You'd have to fabricate something on the front wheel to prevent the chain from coming off - and the unpreventable slack - when turning the wheel.

i dont recall the name but i rember there is a wheel hub based recovery whinch i seen a few years back.. for 2wd truck and van's when they get stuck this is essientally the same thing but instead of towing the vehicle towards a safe/set location this is making a "make shift/temporary 4wd"
On an economy pickup, what if you had a second transmission mounted behind the original, except backwards. 4th gear is 1:1 straight though so you could put the transmission in 3rd or 2nd for a double or triple overdrive, but probably not first because it would be too high of gear ratio. Also if you have the second transmission in 5th gear and the first transmission in 1st gear, it would be a granny gear.
THE PICTURE FROM 0.08 -0.12 I A WINCH WE USE HERE AND THERE IS A SYSTEM USED HERE TO MAKE OUR 4X2 INTO A 4X4 USING CONTINUOUS CABLE WRAPPED AROUND FRONT AND REAR HUBS ABOUT 2 1/2 TIMES SO IT WILL GRAB ON TO DRIVE
So could we just use motorcycle sprocket on the back one on the front with a long chain not to go far i mean just make a emergency kit so to speak i know you couldn't turn the wheel far but just wondering if the chain would make the front wheel turn
but what if you had all 8 rims mounted with studded winter rubber? or even just the drive wheels? can a lada with studded duallys conquer the snow and mud?
