The car "Niva" is probably the most popular domestic SUV. Even now, when large parts of Russians have become available SUVs of Western manufacturers, interest in "Niva" remains. For, as fairly reasonable buyers and owners, what another car is being made with the calculation of Russian roads and directions. But if regular qualities are not enough, then "Niva" can be additionally completed under the conditions of off-road.

The main problem of "Niva" in a relatively small road will enlighten (in bad road conditions it is a significant minus) - the car can sit on the bottom in a rut, hook a stony road, get bogged in the snow. In order to increase the clearance, you can put the wheels and wheels of the larger diameter. In addition, you can install the wheels with a removal - this will allow the car do not fall into the rut, and also confidently behave on the road.

One change in the car always entails another. By installing the wheels of a larger diameter, you can no longer be used by the staff and the place allotted under it under the hood of the car will not be enough. You can reinstall the spare tire on the rear door of the car, but at the same time the wheel will close the overview of the back. The best solution will be the installation of the trunk on the roof of the car. Here you can accommodate both the spare wheel, and the things you need in the journey. To facilitate the use of such a trunk on the back door, a small ladder is installed.

Power bumpers in front and rear serve simultaneously with protection and place to install fasteners for High Jack and winch. The profiled metal sheet will protect the bottom of the car, and with it and mechanisms that are attached over it. Power stations will save the thresholds "Niva", and will also be supported for the jack, if the car is required to lift up.
