Few people can collect from sewing machine a computer. Moreover, few people can create a real jeep from a military truck. But Vyacheslav Zolukhin from the city of Krasnokamensk could! And created Mega Cruiser Russia - beware, Hummer, your time has long gone.
This most was proved that the boundaries of the possibilities of inventors are only conventions. Instead of tuning famous brands Car on their own way, the inventor decided to create his own SUV in such a form, in which he wanted to see him, uniting the possibilities of the Japanese and domestic auto industry.
The foundation
So, the basis of a new SUV - the chassis from GAZ-66. The notorious Soviet military truck had many drawbacks, among them: bad engine And the gearbox, in general, the bulky body of the car, the motor over the front axle. However, until 1975, the model was done for defense. It was easier, because the purpose of landing from the air was also created.
Accordingly, it is based on a rather durable frame, strong bridges. And the problem of constant engagement of the front wheels was eliminated.
As a result, a naked chassis with a removed engine, transmission and cabin took the new supera-road. After all, the wheelbase is completely preserved, which means the car already has a durable and practical skeleton.
Filling
SUV fillings were the details of Japanese medium-room trucks. Six-cylinder diesel engine from HINO with a volume of 7.5 liters. The gearbox is built in the car. Distribution remained from its precursor of gas, but it was completely redesigned by the master and delivered from the Soviet bearings.
As a result, the noise decreased significantly, and it became nice to ride. The hood of the car is huge. The system of the superworld aircraft is borrowed from the old good domestic kamaz. The cone-shaped adapter to the air nozzle of the engine is made, it is difficult to believe, from the tank shell sleeve! In addition to all other things in the car installed exhaust tractand in front of the rear axle is located under the additional protection of the 180-liter fuel tankborrowed from ZIL-130.
Superwear inside
Inside the converted gas-66 looks very comfortable and spacious. A dual "wide-body" cabin from Isuzu ELF is combined with the rear luggage part of NOAH minivan. For dosilets, it was necessary to make the extension of the dimming inserts and make the original rear glass.
Steering wheel OT a passenger car Honda brands perfectly combined with the steering mechanism of the five-ton Hino. Management more adequately than trucks. Rear seats Designed for three people, however, the spacious interior does not make the seat in four partly uncomfortable. Double front passenger seat without problems can be folded into the table.
And a little more about the features of the exterior
Car bumpers are made of metal, carefully and gently: fitting and joints of all parts are invisible. For example, earlier the doors had cut-offs under the wheeled arches, and now they are absolutely whole, as if it was.
Rubber is from the car gas "Tiger", it is smaller and easier to native, because challenges Higher. Native disks are made of "inside out", accordingly, the departure of the wheels will increase, and therefore the entire track is expanded (by 20 cm).
Wheels just do not know. Pitch expanded, stainless steel bolts, off-road tires KIU-115A R18 - All this makes the converted gas-66 unrecognizable and unlike its predecessor. Also redone the front hubs, now the owner will be able to "disable" the wheels.
Reliability and quality of execution
The body is planted on the frame with the help of 12 supports. Each of them consists of three rubber pillows. That is how Japanese masters create body supports of their powerful expensive cars.
So we answered the question - how to make a jeep from GAZ-66. Yes what a jeep is there Mega Cruiser Russia! Such masters-designers, like Vyacheslav Zolukhin, give the hope that the future of the Russian auto industry is still there, while there are such craftsmen. If you can make a full-fledged SUV from GAZ-66, then you can create and sell hits by the world in the automotive market.
This amazing superworld called Mega Cruiser Russia - the creation of Vyacheslav Zolotukhina from Krasnokamensk, to the construction of which left a year and a half. 
The basis of the project was taken by a military truck GAZ-66. Despite the substantial disadvantages: an unimportant engine and a four-stage gearbox, poorly thought-out spelling due to a cabin located above the engine, the GAZ-66 car had its advantages. Strong bridges, a durable frame of 6-mm steel, blocking the differentials of the front and rear axle carried out automatically. That is why only the chassis was borrowed from the donor, and the original cabin, the engine and the box were deleted forever. 
As power aggregate In MEGA Cruiser Russia, an atmospheric 7.5-liter 6-cylinder cast-iron diesel engine from Japanese medium-room truck Hino. Together with the engine from a five-pallet, a six-speed gearbox was also borrowed. Distribution got from the donor. 
Despite the overall, the car was closed in a new image. The hood is original, the wings are made using those from GAZ-3307, the grille grille was collected from two lattices from Prado, the headlights from Delica, the luggage part from the minivan NOAH, a dual cabin from the ISUZU ELF truck, both bumpers were made independently made of metal. 
The interior for MEGA Cruiser Russia also got from the Isuzu Elf truck, but was slightly finalized. The steering wheel, for example, was borrowed from Honda's passenger car. Front dual passenger seat from Hiace, which is even able to spin and fold in the table. Well, the back will easily have enough space on four people. Whether my will, I would, although who will hunt you in Tundra? 
Wheel wheels on Mega Cruiser Russia This is "revealed inside out" native wheels original car. After resorting to this simple fragrance, it was possible to increase the removal of each wheel by 10 cm and thereby expand the car's wheelchair by 20 cm, which had a positive effect on the sustainability of a high car. Rubber for the homemade Russian SUV is used the same as the SUV "Tiger".

The production of cars at the factories does not always suit modern constructors and craftsmen. Therefore, homemade cars are an excellent alternative for those who can design and create an SUV. True, it will not be possible for accounting such a car, but it is excellent to fight the impassable expanses of hunting grounds and get the true pleasure of operation of the machine of its own production.
Homemade vehicles Often it turns out to be a lot of factory jeeps, because they are deprived of excessiveness in the design. Such cars can please the owners and others. If you want to drive on a car of own production, as well as have a certificate of registration and government license plates, the optimal way out for you will buy an old jeep and modify it, make a self-made, leaving only carrier base parts. Interestingly, homemade SUVs of this type can be recorded, exploiting them on general purpose roads. Today we will look at some specific options for homemade from Russian craftsmen.
Common handicraft jeeps based on a gas model 66
One of best ways Make homemade cars in the form of SUVs is the acquisition of the old gas 66 and alteration of it under modern style. You can find a huge number of photos of such jeeps. Despite their old age, this car can provide many advantages to the car of your personal production. Among the main benefits of buying this model, many call the following aspects:
- high quality body metal and a fairly reliable assembly, which will serve not yet one ten years;
- enough tracked and hardy engine that can not be changed, but there is an opportunity and change;
- the suspension, of course, is subject to replacement, but you can choose the details from any other jeep;
- the appearance without change will be reminded by a truck, so it is better to build a different body;
- with the right approach to visual tuning, the photo of the new model will be very worthy.
One of the most interesting cars In the world of homemade, you can rightly name a great jeep called Bulat. This is a huge car that appears on many videos of a variety of journalists. The SUV demonstrates what can be done in GAZ 66, if desired. Some details of the Japanese cars, some are Chinese, but all this is collected in the Russian garage by the skillful hands of specialists.
Jeep with soul - Fully homemade cars
Absolutely homemade cars are a rarity. But such developments in Russia are present. If you want to act as a car designer, you need to not redo the old transport, but to completely create a new design. The production of such cars from the organization of the base and frame is beginning. It is better to make a frame jeep, it will be safer and passable. Also, the constructors are waiting for such challenges:
- organization of the supporting structure exactly by weight distribution and size;
- thundering the suspension fastening system, the main parts that are needed for movement;
- creating an interior of auto, comfortable for its operation;
- performing normal management bodies for a trip by car;
- conducting tests in safe conditions for the life and health of the driver.
Such jeeps often do not get registration signsBut they are the creation and innovation of the creator. Many such cars take part in trophy and competitions, receive awards and even investments for developing and improving the design. The homemade SUV of this kind will be safe only when attracting a series of tests and correcting deficiencies.
Improvement of the passability and power of the old car
If you have a car that can be used for complete alterations, it makes sense to use the transformation of this machine to an SUV. Today, many make homemade SUVs, ordering Chinese details of factory origin, but it is much better to follow Japanese disassembly and buy productive spare parts for a penny. Alterations must touch the following aspects:
- fully modified chassis old car, reinforced racks with long progress;
- large wheels with special rubber - sometimes you should use incredibly large discs;
- changing the drive system, the use of various parts from disassembling SUVs;
- implementation of those functions of the jeep that you need and will use in the future;
- raising the body above the ground, an increase in the minimum clearance up to 25-30 centimeters;
- installing a more powerful motor, which can also be bought assembled with a box on disassembly.
Such alterations will be the basis of the passability and efficiency of your transport. Be sure to think about various features Machine operation so that it is effective and effectively. Remember that the homemade will often be shooting on the video and try to leave feedback on your car. So everything should be presentable. Often, the creators of such cars are provided with a chance to sell their car and make some more homemade SUVs for operation.
Let's sum up
If you decide that your collection of cars lacks something exclusive, you can do differently. First of all, you can take advantage of the purchase retro car A few million dollars at auction. If this method is not suitable for you, and you have always dreamed of riding on homemade SUV, It's time to proceed to create something unusual and amazing.
Buy old gas or UAZ, Niva or even ordinary Zhiguli and think how to turn this car in the dream of a lover of passable and efficient equipment. You can make it simple enough, especially with the involvement of certain specialists. However, if you buy an original SUV, then alterations in it do not have to do too much.
