Got the go anywhere, (hopefully) unboggable, 4wd, lada niva with diff lock going yesterday. Kids keen for drive and dogs keen for a look. https://t.co/z9W7PKeOxv
@DRIVETRIBE Lada Niva, obvs. Small, light, cheap, permanent 4x4, diff lock, no stupid computers, easy to fix in the field, minimal front/rear overhangs. Once you've driven one off road you'll understand. https://t.co/syBy9qFQW9
Becoming slightly obsessed with the #Lada Niva whilst here in Berlin – here’s another spotted this evening. Never the best of road cars, but off road, narrow tyres, low-ratio box and diff lock, it was formidable across the mucky stuff. Just what you need round town. https://t.co/NHRkneLv9v
@PlayMudRunner The Lada Niva came with a standard fit centre diff lock. Why have you chosen to take it off? If you go to the trouble of including it in the game at least do it properly. Hopefully it's not too late to rectify.
@xr3i_shed @andrew_frankel - oh yes. On road was thirsty but plenty people slowed and waved at me. Off road I used to despatch £20k 4x4s.

Off-road is a very flexible definition. For snow and thunrda the better vehicle is anything on low-pressure wheels. The above is Trekol amphibious vehicle which is rather popular, there is Aton impulse which is more like a family car of this type and different cheaper Lada and UAZ conversions. All of them are a sort of ‘poor-man’s’ replacement of tracked vehicles like Gaz-71. Gaz-71 is pretty much affordable too but as all tracked vehicles costly to run. The gas mileage is not in miles per gallon but in gallons per mile. It also requires extensive undercarriage maintenance it you drive it a lot. Now if by off-road you mean driving in different harsh conditions but roads nonetheless the best would be Mitsubishi Pajero: Mitsubishi Triton: Lada Niva: All of them has extraordinary AWD transmissions and suspension setups favoring driving in mixed conditions. They are capable to comfortably cruise at 60 miles per hour on routes many part-time monstrosities can’t go at half that fast without shaking a brain out of you and ending up in a ditch. They are rather competent in deep dirt with diff-locks. Niva is also very light and has 12-gears manual with diff-lock in base trim. I’ve seen stock ones pulling seemingly more capable vehicles out of trouble. I myself pulled an 18-wheeler with it uphill on ice.
They are crude, uncomfortable, virtually indestructible, will tow well above their rating and go just about anywhere you care to try taking them. “,The Niva was never the best of road cars,, but off road, with its minimal 1210kg weight, narrow tyres, low-ratio transfer gearbox and diff lock, it was formidable across the mucky stuff. And when you had got both it and yourself covered in mud and goo, you could fling open the doors and hose out the interior.” “Other tough off-roaders are too expensive to abuse. Most will come with the option of Bluetooth connectivity but not with a snow plough. And few, I suspect, will have a handbook that declares that the vehicle is designed to operate between -40deg C and +45deg C temperatures, which is ideal for those who can buy one in the sub-zero areas of Russia through to the sweltering climes of South America.” I like them.
I had a Lada Niva. Permanent 4wd. Ran fine for years. It depends on the setup. If it's a three differential setup then you're fine. Such setups usually have diff locks on all three diffs if you're having traction issues in mud. Don't drive on normal roads with the diff locks engaged.
Originally Chevrolet took over a Lada Niva 1998 2323 platform to boost lackluster presence in Europe and Asia. GM invested quite some and made Niva II a much greater vehicle improving interior and suspension for better ride. That allowed them to move around 700,000 units around Russia, Europe and Central Asia - a sort of feat for both Lada and Chevrolet, both considered junk brands in Europe at the time. By 2013 it has become long in the tooth and GM proposed upgrade aka Niva III, but was in disagreement over the scale of upgrade. Based on the disagreement GM decided to retire to Detroit and develop an all-new vehicle mostly based on Lada parts to put Lada before the fact. That was the end product in 2014. About the same time a new Cold War has started and the American upgrades has started to look pricy. Lada: why do you want this body part curved? It adds 0,5% to the cost! GM: straight is ugly! Lada: Okay, let's have it corrugated for consensus. GM: here is 190hp V6. Lada: are you kidding? We have an 82 hp straight four since 1969. It runs on moonshine and the only way to kill it is to run without oil. Why do you want to add extra moving part to ruin reliability? We propose more displacement for 106 hp. GM: here is 8 gear automatic transmission and front wheel drive. Lada: are you kidding? What part of consumers are homosexuals? Real men want manual and 4wd. We are proposing 12 gear stick with transfer box and three diff-locks for off-road instead. All things considered the end product has turned to Lada’s vision: Chevrolet said it won’t put its badge on a mix of Toyota RAV4 and agricultural tractor. Although given the rural audience it is very likely that Lada is right.
Defenders? No. And I own 4 of them. Ancient design, Underpowered, noisy, slow and unreliable. Bad heaters, leaky seals, dodgy gearboxes, soft half shafts, CV joints made of chocolate, don't come with diff locks or limited slip. Bodywork is beer can flimsy and will kill you in a roll. The chassis is strong and the suspension is supple. So why do I use them? ( I have used other 4x4s. I crossed the Russian federation in a umm alter, the Sahara in a Lada Niva and the Sahara again in a Ford Ranger. Also used Toyots extensively and MB unimogs) But the fact that they are primitive turns out to be an advantage. Once you go seriously overlanding you will break every single 4x4 on earth. Then you have to fix the thing. Try fixing a Unimog gearbox on a mountain in the Sahara. Or a back axle oil seal on a Toyota. Or reweld a chassis on a brand new Isuzu trooper after exactly 3 days in the Sahara. With Landrover Defenders you are never going to get in a stock vehicle and go live in the bush. You have work to do first. You buy a second hand one to keep the custom duties low. Then you tear it down and rebuild it. Now you know how every bit of it works and you have the right tools . Engine is underpowered….live with it. It translates into better range. Bring spare fuel and water pumps. Upgrade engine hoses to silicone and goodridge. Put in AGM batteries. Upgrade alternator to 120 amp Bosch. Run on top class synthetic lube oil. Upgrade oil cooler. Noisy….. stick in a bunch of dynamat. Slow…..is good. You are not on tarmac. Reliability…..build carefully. The design is reliable enough so it boils down to workmanship. Build like it is an aircraft. Wire critical bolts. Loctite every damn thing. Learn about Unbrako bolts. Install a fuel conditioning system ..I use a pair that I can switch between. Heaters and aircon…..you dont need them. Man up. It is only 47 C outside. Gearboxes….rebuild and upgrade bearings. Install thermostatic oil cooler. TX box…LT230 is good. But put in a torque biasing diff if running on sand, gravel, mud. Use really good synthetic fluid. Halfshafts……upgrade to aftermarket stuff. Lots to choose from. CVs…Ashcroft do tough ones. Diffs….go lsd or lockers. The suicide alu body? Put a 2 inch external rollcage on. No winch, no bullbar, no aggressive lights. Try to keep outside looking stock as possible. No bling. BTW Shocks…upgrade to bypass. fwiw You are gonna do this on every truck. Tires…BFG ATs are my favourite. 265x16 Now put in a big ass fuel tank, spares and camping kit. Engel beer cooler. Hit the road. See you in a year or two. PS My point in this post is that the 4x4 and you are an integrated system. So a machine you can understand and fix is much much safer. You pretty much always bring back the same number of Defenders that you started out with. The old International Scout was like that too. But I have abandoned damn near everything else including unimog. As it happens I love Unimogs. They are the most stress free way of covering seriously bad ground. But they are ridiculously thirsty and complicated as hell. When they break they are in the shop for days and keeping full spares in a field camp us prohibitively expensive. Old Jeeps and Broncos were good. New ones…meh. Okay for city slickers just pretending. Toyota 4.2 diesel engines are deadly…a whole bunch had big end journal bearings that leached and threw rods.some were good but …. How do you know. Strip down time. The older 4.0 diesel Was excellent btw. These are being recycled from coaster buses. Brisbane Motors in Aus are searching Japan for them. 5000 dollars second hand. Having said all that if you are going into really bad country forget machinery and go SAS on it. Put your gear on a mule and walk. In 30 days you can cover over 600 miles of really broken country. No poor sap carrying his own gear can march fast enough to even see your dust.
A car good in snow and a car good on snowy road are two different things. No car is actually good in snow because its capabilities are limited by ground clearance. In that sense I disagree with the authors writing that the car needs to be heavier, awd is not required and it needs lower center mass. Exactly the opposite is true. In order to at least try negotiate the snow your car needs to be lightweight and with high ground clearance in the first place. Heavier low clearance cars tend to condense the snow in front and below them producing a tense cushion under the front of the vehicle elevating the wheels above the solid ground. If it is a front-wheel drive without a diff-lock it means being stuck upon at least one wheel losing traction. Then you need hours of work to remove hundreds of pounds of dense compressed snow from under the car before ever considering moving further. Higher ground clearance especially on shorter vehicles prevents cushion build-up and then the AWD vehicle especially with a capability to lock differentials would still crawl as long as at least one of four wheels maintains traction with solid ground. That's 400% advantage vs a front-wheel drive by itself. Then comes the weight. For a lightweight vehicle even the condensed snow under the wheel is a sort of solid ground. It would surf above cushion even if the latter is still forming the longer. In that sense the best cars for driving on snow are lightweight compact AWD or 4WD SUVs in class of Lada Niva or Suzuki Jimny. Bigger trucks are particularly useless for the reason of snow cushion I mentioned and the heavier the truck the denser the cushion and it literally gets frozen into it by its axles. Don’t forget proper tires. Volvo wagon on wicked winter tires would make better than Lada Niva on slicks. All in all standard wheeled vehicles shouldn't be your choice for negotiating snowy terrain. Speciality tracked vehicles or vehicles on special low-pressure wheels are better suited for the task.
