If there was an award to be given for best new TFL host hands down it would be the addition of David. I love every host but David is just so unique and Cool! Thanks Roman for a great group of hosts!

I think tfl should do a mini-series on partially restoring the buhanka. Andre deserves it. Maybe not cosmetically restoring it but mechanically getting it up to snuff.

@liamrobinson2084 Год назад

I think the most necessary piece of equipment for this video was having David along. A competent man, in Heinlein's sense of the term, is always in demand.

These 4 dudes (have to include Frank!) had an amazing adventure and I just wanted to thank you all for taking us along.

@3rdworldgarage450 Год назад

Man, this really makes me want a UAZ 452! It's one of the oldest vehicle designs still in production today (along with the UAZ 469) and still holds it's own . Any time you see a video about Siberia, or a former Soviet republic or Mongolia you always see these things traversing the most inhospitable conditions and many times they have lived in these places for 40+ years! Would I buy the Dodge? No. It's just too big, too unwieldy and too expensive. The UAZ 452 or 469 would be much more to my liking since I dig simple, rugged engineering and don't care too much about comfort and convenience. That electronic transfer case is nice while it works, but if it failed on that trail it would not be easy to fix with a bush repair like the UAZ.

@sergeyshaolin-g9792 Год назад

We also have Lada Niva in Russia. Also an incredible classic SUV still in production and very much in demand by everyone who moves off the asphalt. UAZ and Niva are of course a little different conceptually, UAZ is a roomier, body-on-frame, but not very reliable (well-known words about UAZ are "Always wounded, but never killed!"), and NIVA is the first crossover in history (assuming that a crossover is an SUV with a unibody) and more reliable. Personally, I'm a fan of Niva, but I also really like UAZ, especially Buhanka. By the way, my friend worked at the UAZ factory a few years ago

@AndieBlack13 Год назад

Congrats to David & Andre for sticking to it...Buhanka rules!!! A little something I came across while off-roading, Air filters tend to get easily clogged, one really can't see why or how...the solution is to affix, fabricate an obscenely oversized air-filter & housing assembly...works wonders. Taking bets that is what slowed down Andres soviet ride...

@ShaunsJeep Год назад

This is one of my favorite episodes of all time. The work out in the morning to the late night dinner and the lighting was awesome. Great team and yes even frank . Thanks guys for making my Sunday better.

@genesishep Год назад

1. Pinstripes are like war wounds. I'd be suspect of the testing of any off-road rig without them. 2. The RAM error lights are more worrisome than the finickiness of the Buhanka since the old diesel van is much easier to troubleshoot and repair on the trail than the new tech in the RAM or any new vehicle made today. 3. I'm pretty sure that Alfredo sauce was supposed to be mixed in the pan before serving but hey, that's one way to make sure you get enough sauce! Great series, I'm loving it! 👍🏽

@mikefoehr235 Год назад

I would love to see a TRD SPORT TOYOTA and a JEEP GADIATER MOJAVE and other quick oriented off roaders do this trip. Maybe a FORD RAPTER as well. I have to say Andre and David are so entertaining. I am glad the Russians let Andre escape to west...we need more interchange between west and east relations. I think this demonstrates how good most all people are when you get meddling interfering government out of the way.

If you go to the middle of nowhere you better have a knowledgeable dude like David there with you. Really enjoyed this episode.

@EBuff75 Год назад

It could be a fuel vent issue. As you use up the fuel in the tank, the volume needs to be replaced with air and if the vent is clogged, it starts to create a vacuum, which reduces the amount of fuel to the engine. When the engine is idling or at low RPM, there's still enough flow, but when you try to accelerate, it can bog due to lack of fuel. A quick test is to open the fuel filler cap and see if the issue goes away.

@upscaleshack Год назад

I don't know if Toby your mechanic has looked at the van, but as hard as it is to start I suspect fuel pressure issues. It seems to be losing fuel pressure when it sits for a while. No fuel injected vehicle should crank that long without firing.

@ericneal1872 Год назад

First thing my dad said to me when he was teaching me to drive at about 8-10 yrs old was to never put your thumbs inside around the steering wheel. Pre-power steering off roading was pretty difficult for a young boy to hold on to that steering wheel. Also, when you have hubs and you want low gears but not 4wd, leave the hubs unlocked and shift to 4 lo. My young boy legs struggled with the heavy clutch especially trying to back up heavy trailers. Lo range 2wd gave me a powerful and slow reverse that I didn't have to worry about killing the engine or going to fast while trying to back trailers.

I had an UAZ van, 4 wheel drive bought new in Kazakstan in 1996. We had it for a couple of months and then it caught fire on the highway near Karaganda and completely burned on the side of the road.

@secondamendment8773 Год назад

The reason the military doesn’t want you running at night is twofold. 1. You could damage sensors and infrastructure and possibly run over troops on night maneuvers trying to make your way around . 2. Smugglers in that area move at night. Either way most civilians don’t like running into armed troops pointing their weapons at you.

@ectofix8447 Год назад

At 21:47: David shoulda just told Andre "The Giant" that he'd return the favor by picking up anything off the ground because he's closer. That's what I do. SERIOUSLY, I can't provide enough accolades for this video series! Everything is top notch. Well done!

She’s older (04’) 2wd, no power anything, but she has new tires and I can take her 90% of places that any 4wd side by side, quad, or Jeep can go. Awesome video!

UAZ coolant is the one of major issues on this cars. You need to add additional electrical fan on radiator, with manual switch and check for thermostat, it can be different for summer/winter mode.

Buhanka is ok, however, bringing GAZ-66: 4x4, 42 tires, difflocks, winch, central tire inflation system (all options are stock), V8, 3.5 t dry weight and also very cheap and uncomfortable (more or less on par with Buhanka); would give much more fun. BTW, weld upper corners of the rear door frame, otherwise you will have cracks quite soon.
