UAZ Hunter Review 

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

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

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.

For 10000 bucks it will be the only vehicle I will ever drive for the rest of my life......I don’t care if it’s slow, this thing is everything I want in an SUV

Thats a reliable vehicle cause its simple , it will survive for sure to a war or apocalpyse , thats what we want , i dunno about others but cars nowadays sucks

I'm sure the "air conditioning" flap can be opened from the inside.

I have wished for years we could have Russian made autos. I love the simplicity and bare bones and of coarse the prices. We have nothing like that here in the US anymore. Sure wish we did

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.

After a nuclear war this will be the only cars running around greetings from the ancient megalithic city of TIAHUANAKU BOLIVIA 🇧🇴

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.

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

The two tanks are there, because you can still drive with it when one get's shot and runs out of fuel ^^

4x4 on the highway?

Take my money now. I want one!

This is a proper off-roader. Come on mate, SUVs nowadays are too heavy and way off-point (and stupid). This is a true dependable machine for off-roading.

Really cool, love these russian trucks. Sounds a bit like my Lada Niva😀. Never see a new UAZ in the USA.

Get rid of those rims.

I am getting one soon, that's the reason I came here to watch your video as a review and your content is good too 👍 Good Luck 🤞 👋 love from Oman 🇴🇲

hell yes..love to have one!!!!!! love the price and looks great , hope to see em the states soon

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.

It can reach nearly 100mph ( I tested it) but it takes some time and its not fun, but 75mph is a nice cruising speed on the highway.

lmao dude drives on asphalt with 4x4 engaged, you can hear it whining. You are not supposed to do that with those cars.

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

Next time we want to see the UAZ bukhanka in action ahah

Closest thing to an IHC I've seen, and I luv IHC, driven them for years... Now I need one of these...

@PART OUT where is this UAZ located? I'm working on importing one right now from Poland and would love to speak to the owner. Thanks!

It would be nice if we could get these in the US. Nice lift.

why is there a part missing from the right light?

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

the best thing ever, very solid and original No plastic parts.

Does it not have a two wheel drive option? It turned like it was grabbing asphalt up front.

Would it be viable to purchase as a citizen in the US?

So if you were to roll that thing, are you a goner or will those thin looking pillars hold the weight of the vehicle?

make a Video about the lada niva 4x4

Can it still be purchased in USA legally or converted to be legal? Asking from Florida where smog laws are laxed/non-existent

Great review. I own one and love it.

Nice job dude. Hope to see more soviet car review on your channel.

Yes get them here and dont change a thing most offroaders will modify them anyhow. only change I'd suggest offer a diesel engine. At about 10k I'd buy one maybe two. I really think they would sell well in the market they are intended for. And besides I am really starting to dislike all these robo cars. Bring back a car you actually have to drive and a car that you can fix or repair yourself.

Very nice review

Awesomeness itself mate , like a series Land Rover but with a proper engine not the gutless two and a quarter they dropped in the Landy . I love it real gauges and real switches , wish I could find one around here .

Can you get this imported to the us?

If that is a 2017 model how was it allowed to be imported into the US? Does the 25 yr rule not apply?

I love this beast. I would love to get it with soft top. You can imagine how cool it look with top down. Another super chill car you may want to review is Lada Niva. That one is beast too. Brand new costs some 6000 euros or sth

Who is the owner. I need info on the 33" lift kit

Beautiful.

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.

The new 2020 Hunter has a new 150hp I4 with either a Korean 6-speed manual or an automatic. They are US street legal as the meet EU and US emissions and safety standards. Of course they cost $15,000-ish now

The vent leaver is under the dash to the right of the steering column

Love it!

That car is the AK-47 of the off-roads, all ways work

Partout it looks like you didn't disengage the 4wd before taking it on the tarmac, especially since the turns you took - how the steering behaved and how the vehicke jumped on the 1st gear.. Should've checked on the front drive shaft for wear after that road run

How can I get car parts in Oman ?

Fenomenal! A brand new Classic... Like a Morgan, or a Caterham (...sort of).

I love these things

I drive one of those and is a beautiful and eficient machine

It's perfect. (Had many of them before.)

9 miles to gallon ?

Does this dude drive standard much

love it ... ehen do you thik they going to br lrgal in the states ... love to have one of those

Awesome ! Where can i buy one?

Sir can civilian buy hunter???

pretty cool toy, not very reliable but can be fixed by almost anybody with simple tools. plus how would you get parts for it here in the States

go with the original steel rims. Through some ockers on it and their just about unstoppable and pretty much indestructible. how did he get it into the US though? Also, buy a 25 year old one, and a brand new one in parts, transfer all the new stuff to the old frame, or better yet grease some palms and put the 25 year old VIN on a new truck, damn things sure haven't changed in 25 years.

I love these no-bullshit no-plastic vehicles. These will last more than any other.

Is it legal in USA ¿?

5:28. Jumper cables? Just push it!

It is use a diesel engine?

In afghanistan we call it mini tank she's tough af

Yes I want one

Sure wish we could buy these in the states. I would love to have one especially the diesel model.

It is a shame they are not sold in Namibia. I would buy these vehicles for the simplicity and durability. The one I have driven rides really comfortable except for the whining gearbox. It's like a Jeep but for men.

I like them lower, but I'm not into heavy lifts on any trucks. The wheels look better straight under to me, and you gotta set them out to lift so it doesn't roll~ and I'd definitely drive this vehicle here in the states

Love it

I think this video is perfect for anything, The vehicle is fully analog, just in case of an EMP from a nuke I think

How did y’all import a 2017? Don’t those gave to be 25 years old? Unless you imported it as an off-road vehicle.

Basic, I honestly want to one day own a very very very basic rig of any kind just to do work around the property.

I love this car

Will still outlive anything made in America shot of a battle ready Humvee

How is it not legal in the US?

Cool video and agree with the others - wrong rims for the vehicle! Would be nice if you can get in USA for less than $10 k, what it costs in Russia 😊

This is super cool. There are a ton of them here in Armenia.

At $10000 a unit , I think even the top of the line Trophy model for a couple of 1000's more - say 14,000 $ - It is still a great deal !! I'd be willing to operate a dealership to sell these vehicles.

It looks awesome with those wheels, ridiculous but awesome. I still prefer the cruiser

lovely I love it a sppecialy the olive green color that is rare in my country

I love

Wow finally an English Uaz review. You did a good job!

Love the subtle humor 😂😂😂

This is my idea of an ideal 4WD that I can even use on the moon if necessary 😊 No nonsense mod cons, no frills, simple, basic, bare bones, strong, tough, solid, easy to maintain, cheap, good looking for my tastes (yes!) Seems like it will take me anywhere (no worries, I will eventually get to my destination safely because I like to take my time and the juddering will also keep me focused and awake) I wouldn't mind buying a diesel version from Russia for 10,000 bucks 😊

Just simple..i like it..

I love that car

I want it!

There is a lever right to the wheel to open up the "air conditioning" from inside the Hunter

How reliable is this car?

Just remember the first Broncos or CJ's. Where they to barebone? The UAZ Hunter is made for serious offroading, easy to maintain and cheap to repair. All what made Bronco and CJ famous in their times.

For trails in Central Oregon, $10k for such a proven vehicle is no brainer. I’ll be the first to buy, perhaps add diff locks. It’s available in Mexico but very overpriced.

And the good thing, if someting breacks, one trip to the hardware store and you can fix pretty much anything on this bad boy.

wer ist possible to bay this utility vehicle

You should make a uaz buhanka review

Virtually the same since 1969. Back than 71 HP no power steering, drumbrakes all around. The “AC” has a foot-pedal you push and it opens. Even the fuel filter is water-flooded and made so you don’t need a spare, just take it out, wash it and u r done.
