For questions regarding the purchase of this equipment (UAZ-3741 all-metal van), terms of credit and leasing, service and warranty, please contact the plant’s dealers or official representative offices. Delivery of the UAZ-3741 all-metal van can be carried out either directly from the manufacturer or from sites in Moscow and other regions of the Russian Federation.

What is the UAZ-3741 model

Mass production of the all-wheel drive cargo van UAZ-3741, which has increased cross-country ability and was popularly called “Loaf”, was started at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 1966. After that, various modifications were produced, modernization was carried out, affecting the appearance, chassis and power parameters unit, but without fundamental changes in characteristics.

UAZ-3741

The car with a double cabin was never equipped with modern systems and elements: ABS, power steering, rain sensor, power windows, heated mirrors and seats, climate control and air conditioning. A small truck is no different in terms of safety.

But due to its unique cross-country ability, indestructible suspension, omnivorous engine, powerful frame structure, huge interior and other characteristics, the van is still quite competitive.

The UAZ-3741 is capable of operating in poor road conditions, which is ensured by the wheel arrangement and high ground clearance, which is 22 cm.

What is a big advantage is that car repairs do not pose any particular problems, since spare parts are sold everywhere.

Additionally it is possible to install:

engine pre-heater;
thresholds fixed to the frame;
front and rear power bumpers on which the spare wheel can be fixed;
winches.

Modifications

This car is available to consumers in one of two versions. This can be either a closed van or a glazed body. Depending on the configuration, the model can carry either two or five people on board.

The model can also be equipped with one of two bridges, including Timken and Spicer. The second option has a higher cost because it has a locking differential.

The standard equipment of the UAZ-3741 is equipped with:

Full-size spare wheel;
Anti-lock braking system (ABS);
Hydraulic power steering;
Heating system;
Three-point inertial seat belts on the front seats;
The driver's seat has longitudinal adjustment and backrest tilt adjustment.

Description of the design and dimensions of the machine

The van with an all-metal body has a length of 4.4 m, a width of 2.1 m and a height of 1.9 m. The shape of the vehicle does not allow it to have good aerodynamics. But it helps to increase the usable area of the cargo compartment.

The design of the UAZ-3741 cannot please the eye. The steel box body is slightly smoothed only by a beveled windshield. Two round headlights with convex turn signals do not particularly decorate the car. The arched radiator grille, which occupies half of the front surface, also looks awkward. The cargo doors located at the rear and on the right side allow loading operations to be carried out without any difficulties.

Let's sum it up

This vehicle is a good workhorse for everyday tasks. If desired and financially possible, it can be successfully modernized technically and externally. In this case, the “loaf” becomes a delight for lovers of hunting, fishing and travel, allowing you to get to hard-to-reach places.

The absence of scarce spare parts, fairly simple repairs and maintenance are the key to maintaining the machine in reliable condition.

Description of technical parameters of UAZ-3741

What characterizes the UAZ-3741 double van:

Engine ZMZ-4091

wheel arrangement ;
lifting capacity 0.85 t;
curb weight of the vehicle is 1.805 tons;
maximum permissible speed 130 km/h;
fuel consumption 13.5 liters per 100 km;
manual four-speed gearbox;
The depth of the ford that the UAZ can overcome is 50 cm.

The UAZ-3741 is equipped with a four-stroke power unit ZMZ-4091 with a volume of 2.7 liters, having fuel injection, four cylinders installed vertically in a row. The engine has a power of 112 horsepower and a maximum torque of 208 Nm. The manufacturer recommends using gasoline no lower than AI 92.

Despite the factory data, drivers who use the car call the high consumption of 16 l/100 km one of the few shortcomings.

Car body

The manufacturer installed a metal body on the UAZ 39094. The rear and side sides of the body open. This allows loading and unloading from any side. The platform floor is metal with wood covering. Additionally, an awning can be installed on the body. For this purpose, a removable pipe frame is provided. This design allows you to protect the cargo from the influence of precipitation.

The awning is tied to the body using laces. For this purpose, special hooks are installed on the sides of the body.

The platform has the following overall dimensions:

The length of the UAZ farmer body is 2040 millimeters;
Width – 1.87 m;
Side height – 40 cm;
The height of the body with frame is 1.4 meters.

How the cabin works

To accommodate the driver and one passenger in the UAZ-3741, a small space is allocated, separated from the cargo compartment by a metal partition. The space that could accommodate another seat is reserved for the hood. The driver's seat rises above the power unit. This arrangement is not very convenient when carrying out repair work. But engine maintenance does not depend on weather conditions.

The placement of the driver in the UAZ-3741 car is unusual. When the van is moving it feels like it might tip over. But they quickly get used to such a landing.

Interior

You probably shouldn’t look for evidence of the comfort of this car’s interior. The car showroom is dominated by metal and leatherette. Inside the cabin, the protruding part of the engine reduces available space. The dashboard records the minimum necessary current technical information.

A stove air intake is built into it. A heating stove is installed under the panel, and warm air enters the cabin through an opening door. Insufficient heating in cold weather and lack of interior cooling in hot seasons, poor sound insulation are a consequence of design asceticism and the desire to reduce costs.

Interior tuning

The happy owner of this model realizes how inconvenient the “loaf” car showroom is compared to similar foreign options. But if we do not forget that in the production of this car comfort is of secondary importance, then, with effort, resources and creativity, it is quite possible to create comfort in the cabin.

You can and should start by replacing the standard seats with modern soft chairs;
The next step in tuning a car dealership is to isolate external noise, internal rattling of cabin elements and improve the quality of interior decoration;
Floors, door cavities and the back wall can be laid with vibration insulation, covered with sound insulation, and the joints can be sealed with sealant;
Then make the inner lining.

Tuning UAZ Farmer for hunting and fishing

The domestically produced car UAZ 39094 is in great demand. The machine has high maneuverability. The model performed well off-road.

The factory design does not always suit the owners of the UAZ Farmer. Therefore, some people perform car tuning on their own. UAZs are tuned for hunting, fishing and other activities related to driving in hard-to-reach areas of rough terrain.

The purpose of tuning is to improve the vehicle's cross-country ability and increase its load capacity. For this:

The distance from the frame to the vehicle axles increases. For this purpose, modernized springs and shock absorbers are installed;
Larger diameter tires are installed. Owners install tires with all-terrain tread. This increases the model’s cross-country ability;
Bridges are being replaced. The owners install axles from UAZ vehicles intended for military use on the model. Military bridge gearboxes differ from civilian ones;
Various winches are installed. Installation of the winch requires a reinforced front bumper design;
The exhaust pipe is extended and led upward. This exhaust gas exhaust design makes it possible to overcome water obstacles;
In order to increase the load capacity, rigid springs and a roof rack are installed on the cab roof. This allows you to transport heavier and bulkier cargo.

Origin story

The UAZ-3741 has been traveling on various roads for a long time. The first copy left the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 1965. The release was massive. Over all its years of existence, the UAZ-3741 has undergone many changes and modifications. Innovations affected the engine, body and chassis.

But time passed, and the UAZ-3741 lost its popularity. Production of the model ended in 1974.

Electrical equipment

The electrical equipment system of the UAZ 39094 car is made according to a single-wire circuit. The negative contact is the car body. Consumers are powered by a 12-volt battery. It is necessary to start the power unit.

After starting, the consumers are powered and the battery is charged using a DC generator. It is belt driven by a pulley mounted on the crankshaft. To protect against fire due to a short circuit, a fuse box is included in the electrical circuit.

Electrical equipment consists of several systems:

Launch. Necessary to start the power unit using an electric starter;
Ignition. Needed for normal operation of the internal combustion engine;
Light signaling. Used for safe vehicle use on public roads;
Sound alarm. Used to produce a sound signal;
Cleaning the windshield. Serves to clean the windshield from dirt;
