Shortly after the weekend camping I would have a new weekend camping meeting. And this was a meeting I was looking forward for a couple of years to join since you only could join it with an UAZ Buhanka. In the Netherlands there is a club for these vans and has the name 'Aanmodderaars' which...

Very incredible build! I'm totally surprised that you can get all the tin etc new from Toyota! Bloody hell I would be scared to drive the vehicle knowing how much work is involved.

It still takes couple of months but there is an off-road show going on in Kalkar Germany near the Dutch border. It is an fair and inside the building there are suppliers with stands. And what is also very nice is that you can camp there as well. Might be fun to meet other overlanders...

Woah sounds cool! Have fun guys and share enough pictures with us! :) I have to keep this in mind for maybe next year.

When the weather and shoulder slowly went better I started to work on the UAZ again. First I wanted to fix the front seats since they were crappy and not fasted to the car(!). I managed to find late 90's Toyota Corolla G6 sporty interior and customized the metal frame to fit in the van. The...

Loving the rig and travels you did! Thanks for sharing! Now I will read up the 70 series build ;)

It's been a while since I registered here on the website. A lot of life changing stuff happen in the mean time... but now I want slowly to pick up traveling again etc. Uazzz what? UAZ is actually a Soviet car manufacture that mainly produces off-road vehicles for the red army. Like the 469...

Hello fellow UAZ owner! Your paint looks great! Yes buying an UAZ is not for the fainted heart. Good thing about UAZ part are pretty cheap. UAZ specialist in Poland: Strona główna and in Bulgaria UAZ parts website: shop.uazbg.com. Did you buy this van in Germany? Since I'm your country...

Was looking for some yellow/amber small led light bar for our van. After looking around for a while found very nice expensive ones but also very cheap ones. Since the light are probably not going to be used that much I thought I will give the cheap ones a try. I do have a love hate relationship...

There are some interesting spots in the Netherlands. WW2 museum in Arnhem with a lot of stuff including the couch from the Hitler him self. The Arnhem bridge of course, but also interesting to visit the bridge in city Deventer which was used as the the Arnhem bridge in the 1977 movie "A bridge...

Sounds like a great idea!

Actually live next to Arnhem. If you need some more info don't hesitate to ask :)

Yep haha! That's why we are upgrading to newer engine and gearbox. Gearbox lever now is like a spoon in a big soup bowl.

Cool! I also have a GPSmap 60Cx. But haven't touched it since years. Are you still able to upload maps to it some how?

Haha no nothing with huge power. The 2,7L has power enough. We are slowly starting it to a camper. But it needs loads of repairs first.

Sure! These vans originally came with a 2.4L carburetor engines which could run on bad gas as octane 70 and sits between the fronts seats. And these vans are still being produced in Russia still today! With minor updates last couple years. One of those updates was a new 2.7 Liter engine with...

Hey folks! We are a couple living in the Netherlands. And we just recently imported an old Soviet van called UAZ 452. And got it recently registered. We are converting it into an overlander but that will still take a lot of work. :)

Thanks for the warm reply! :)

Hi folks! We are a couple living in the Netherlands. We looked for a while for a camper van but none of them didn't suited my taste. Until my girlfriend showed a picture of van which I knew from when I traveled in Ukraine. After some searching we found one and got it recently registered in...
