Dragon named Gavryusha, or how to make a "monster"

- He simply goes 140 kilometers per hour! Only a very scary ...
 - Why is it scary? Because you sit high?
 - No, because the brake is also from "shishiga" Soviet ...
 - Why have you built your car based on Soviet technology, if everything is so bad?
 - Because everything else in "shishiga" very good!

Meet George Panasyuk, amateur, multiple winner of the Cup of Belarus on jeep-trial, as well as other off-road competitions. And this is his creation - Jeep Grand Cherokee, hoisted on the "platform" of the military truck GAZ-66. The car, at the sight of which inadvertently pose the question "how" and "why?».

First of all, we decided to ask George what led him to create such an unusual SUV?

It's one thing to come up with, quite another - to implement! And this seems to be relatively simple technical problem, as the "integration" of the body of an SUV and truck frame, took a lot of time.

Because there was a lot of nuances, since, for example, with the length of the wheelbase.

With a wheelbase "cope" managed relatively easily because the "ears" mounting springs are not welded to the frame, and mounted on bolts. However, this has created other problems. In particular, the work crosses the cardan angles greatly changed, which greatly affects their life. I had to go on a little trick ...

Thus, slightly tilting "razdatku" and tucked rear axle, was able to solve all the problems with the propeller shaft. But this does not mean that the "integration" problems ended - with the steering, too, had to tinker ...

But in the end it turned out almost perfect SUV! Look: literally no angles of entry and exit, unreal angle of the ramp, a huge ground clearance ... Already the first tests have shown that Gavryusha almost do not care where to go, what the swamps that on-Trial sections he moves with equal ease, albeit slowly, it can be said inexorably.

Here, for example, a pair of episodes from the last stage of the jeep trial in Borisov.





By the way, experts have probably noticed that the wheels are not "native". They are from the APC, with more developed lugs, which allows "interference in the" pass almost anywhere, even without pressure reduction.

"A central pumping there?" - Are often interested in ordinary people.

Yes, "shishigovskaya" system swap wheels are also available, but are not currently connected - simply did not have the need to improve the already excellent patency Gavryusha.

"A staircase where? As you climb up into it? "- This question is also very popular.

In response, George shows that there are no problems with the height of the vehicle, does not really exist ...



Another question asked is literally at every opportunity: "Are not you afraid to turn over the car to such a high?" "No! - Confidently answers George - because all the heavy: bridges, engine, frame - is at the bottom. A body of the Grand Cherokee is so easy that we just brought four of this frame. So we can say that even in comparison with the standard "shishiga" Gavryusha at the center of gravity even lower! »

And so it is: in the trial sections shows that the side roll Gavryushov not particularly frightening.

But off-road, as it turned out, is not the only talent Gavryusha. Such conspicuous car could not remain outside the purview of the organizers of the various shows, and indeed George Panasiuc people pretty reckless. It is not surprising that soon turned into a machine of this "monster": Gavryusha began to destroy the other cars!

At first, it certainly was not easy: the episode in the video, for example, ended the broken driveshaft and subsequent evacuation. But Georgy practice, and "crash tests" he began to get a pretty spectacular!

But those who thought that the weight of other cars - a fairly simple lesson can see video clip prepared by activists Jeep-club.by, where you can see how much time it takes and how literacy should be piloting that all is not completed revolution of the 'monster ».





Ground clearance is impressive: its precise measurement has not been done, but visually it looks like 40 centimeters will be!



As you can see, "glue" the body Jeep Grand Cherokee to the GAZ-66 turned out to be not so simple. By the way, not only had to finalize the chassis - some body parts, too, were "unnecessary».


The petrol "eight" in the engine compartment does not seem gigantic - rather the opposite



More cars - corresponding horn!



Tow hitch - with "tricky" folding mechanism



Mechanical winch "native", "shishigovskaya»



Numerous arms look a little alien in "grandovskom 'cabin, but there's no getting away

that's all, thank you for your attention.
