Adaptation rules GAZ-22177 "Sable"
The passenger version of the Sobol is designed to carry 6 people, not counting the driver. Unlike the traditional Gazelle, the car has a shorter body length, which has a positive effect on its maneuverability. As a basis, you can take a professional project. You should not copy everything - it is important to make changes that improve the parameters of patency and ease of control.
List of required modifications:
- Increasing ground clearance. It is necessary to increase the cross-country ability and protect the bottom when traveling over rough terrain.
- Control modification. The car should instantly respond to a change in the position of the steering wheel, while the driver does not expend extra effort.
- Interior optimization. It should be borne in mind that in addition to passengers, it will contain voluminous luggage. This is especially true for long trips.
- Body treatment with additional protective equipment.
Specification Improvement
First, it is necessary to study in detail the technical part of the original Sable and only then plan its modification. The operational and technical parameters of the machine are taken into account. It is important that the new components match the existing characteristics of the model and do not impair its quality.
Recommended changes to the technical part of the GAZ-22177 Sobol:
- Suspension. Reinforcement with pneumatic elements and additional springs. Organization of a light lift - up to 20 mm.
- Steering. Castor modification, installation of a new power steering radiator. Mandatory installation of protection on steering rods and dampers.
- Transmission. Reducing the transmission force to 1:5.125, integration of improved rear axle locking. It is necessary to eliminate the backlash of the rods.
- Power plant (engine). Installation of a stove for quick heating of the motor in winter. Be sure to use an additional fuel tank or increase the volume of the main one. At the service station, it is recommended to diagnose the on-board computer to optimize parameters and eliminate factory errors.
This is the optimal list of changes for adapting Sobol to the operational conditions of hunting and fishing. Technical details depend on the current state of the car and the planned tuning budget.

- Provides maximum interior protection.
- The possibility of installing seats, a table, fixed water tanks, depending on the duration of the trip and the number of passengers.
- Minimum costs for tuning the cabin for hunting and fishing.
Additionally, it is recommended to make normal lighting, install sockets. Obligatory acquisition of GPS .
