What's a UAZ 452 Buhanka? Let Andre from

Howard met with Andre from ‪@TFLoffroad‬ & ‪@TFLtruck‬ out in the desert at the end of a long trail run so he could show us his Russian off-road van, the UAZ 452 better known as the Buhanka. That translates to "bread loaf," and you only have to see the van to know why they call it that.
Watch Andre take his van on an overlanding adventure here: • What Could Go Wrong Dr...
Let us know what you think of Andre's off-road van below.

Andre is a modest man. His van is nice and simple.

My grandfather drove one of these and I remember riding in it as a kid. The engine cover would get pretty warm after a while and I loved it in the winter.

These are also used as an ambulance. I love these vans.

One of the best 4X4 van. Easy to fix, very capable and cheap. There are 4 of them in the USA that I know.

Cool van, nice collaboration with Andre! His timing on importing that van was good, I bet it would be impossible now.

If I remember right: the 3741 is the Panel Van version, 3909i is the military ambulance version, 2206 is the minibus (up to 11 seats), and the 39094 is the pickup version (similar to the VW Type 2, and the Izuzu Fargo trucks). Nothing beats the old 452 though.

This is the perfect candidate for an engine swap. A 4 cylinder diesel or even a 4 cylinder from a Chevy truck or Ford Ranger would be interesting.

Actually this van was designed in the mid-50s, and has almost not changed ever since. It was built primarily for the military. Which is why it is so rudimentary but tough. Recently the company attempts to cater to some civilian customers, building kind of expedition vans with at least basic elements of comfort.

was it easy to register? how much they go for?

@RompRat42 5 ай бұрын

I believe he paid 3500 us but the shipping was over 8k... also you need to get an older (20yr) so it can be grandfathered in for registration purposes. I've really wanted one of these for years now but sourcing a descent one and getting through all the red tape and expenses really kills it.

As a Mexican, I didn’t find the comment “is that where you hide the Mexicans?” Funny at all. I mean we can’t laugh at, “can’t see them unless they smile or palms up”. Andre seemed a bit perplexed by the comment as well. Out of place comment and it wasn’t even funny just a blurted out comment. Lost a subscriber.
