They are characterized by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the best stability parameters;<\/li>\n<li>increased permeability;<\/li>\n<li>lack of spare parts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Discussing the issue, many drivers note that the difference in ground clearance of 8 cm gives, though small, but a real advantage, but its value directly depends on the skills and abilities of the driver. Drivers even arrange their own kind of tests to deter<a href=\"\/recomendet-cryptocloud_plus-product\" class=\"sds-arl\">mine<\/a> what is actually better &#8211; a military or civilian bridge. For example, one of them noted that two UAZs &#8211; one with lockable differentials, and the other military man &#8211; passed the same road, or rather its absence on virgin soil. In such conditions, the UAZ with civilian bridges showed the best cross-country ability, and the military managed to get stuck twice and a civilian was used to extract it from the snow captivity.<\/p>\n<p>Some note that they do not notice the difference between the two types of bridges at all, except for a smaller fit in the civilian model. However, they also note that it is unlikely that the military will intentionally install bridges that are inferior or the same in characteristics as civilian ones. If they are popular with the Ministry of Defense, then most likely they provide cars with better off-road capability. As for driving on the highway at high speed, civil bridges are more preferable here. Military models are designed specifically for overcoming off-road or slow driving on roads.<\/p>\n<p>Many motorists also note that an 8 cm difference in ground clearance can be very, very important. For example, where a civilian UAZ can land &#8220;with its whole belly&#8221;, a military model will pass without any problems.<\/p>\n<p>Owners of UAZs with civilian bridges, who often drive off-road, often plan to replace the bridges with military ones, as a last resort, if some kind of breakdown occurs and it will be necessary to change. Many are sure that the military modification has a really higher cross-country ability, and where the civilian version cannot pass, the military one goes without problems. However, they have one serious drawback &#8211; the unreliability of the design due to the large number of components, and the more parts, the higher the chance of one of them failing.<\/p>\n<p>Some also note that it often does not matter to a simple motorist which bridge he has. He may not feel the difference if he uses the machine in normal household conditions. You can drive an UAZ for years and not understand at all what bridges exist, what are their differences and features.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers who choose military bridges note their absolute advantages for those who often go hunting and fishing. In their opinion, blocking in such conditions is unlikely to help, if the car &#8220;sits on bridges&#8221;, then with blocking it can only dig even deeper. Namely, such a &#8220;<a href=\"\/recomendet-elementor\" class=\"sds-arl\">landing<\/a>&#8221; often becomes the main reason that the UAZ gets stuck tightly.<\/p>\n<p>In off-road conditions, the biggest problem for outdoor enthusiasts is the huge ruts from tractors and other agricultural equipment. When driving on such &#8220;roads&#8221;, a higher ground clearance often becomes a real salvation, as it allows you to overcome the most broken and seemingly impassable sections of the road.<\/p>\n<p>It is also noted that differentials in such conditions will not help. But, even if the military UAZ stalls, then it will always be possible to put some kind of branch or log under the wheel to pull it out of the captivity of mud or snow. But if a civilian UAZ &#8220;on the belly&#8221; sits down, then in order to make it go again, you will have to make much more physical effort and spend more time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-209570-625029e5190f5.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-209570-625029e5190f5.webp\" alt=\"What is better - UAZ conventional or geared axles, why?\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the motorists who replaced civilian bridges with military ones shared his impressions after a year of using the car. According to him:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is no big difference in operating noise. The noise of the car during operation is about the same as before.<\/li>\n<li>Fuel consumption with military bridges is indeed greater, but if the car is properly adjusted, then the increase should be no more than 1, maximum 1.5 liters.<\/li>\n<li>Myths about engine twisting. Approximately half of the civilian UAZs cost GP 5.125, and the military ones &#8211; 5.38. As a result, the twist is less than 5%, which is completely insignificant. Moreover, the diameter of the I-192 prescribed by the state is 3% larger, due to which the difference in torsion decreases further and is no more than 2%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, he spoke about the cross-country ability of his car. According to him, if a car with &#8220;collective-farm&#8221; bridges sits tightly on both gearboxes, then it will be extremely difficult to move it even using the same UAZ. On military bridges, the crankcase is made in the shape of a ski, thanks to which the car can move normally, although it will leave a furrow from the crankcase about 3 cm deep on the ground or snow.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted the high reliability of military bridges. Yes, their design is more complex, but it is well thought out. In addition, such bridges are manufactured according to the standard of better quality.<\/p>\n<p>If you install locks on a civilian UAZ and wheels larger than 33 \u2033, then you will have to change the axle shafts, CV joints and main pairs. Locks were created not for UAZ, but for armored personnel carriers. In addition, the locks are not intended to be used as a cross-axle differential and these functions are not performed very well, because the car can lose a lot of controllability.<\/p>\n<p>Military bridges are much more reliable than civilian ones. Yes, in the event of failure, they will require large financial costs for repairs, but the probability of a breakdown on them is much lower. Because of this, all owners, especially those who appreciate the opportunity to go out into nature, hunting or fishing, are gradually moving from civilian bridges to military ones.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The advantages of military bridges over civilian ones often include: The ground clearance is 30 cm instead of 22 cm for civilians, if I-192 rubber is used on the military bridge.
