Snow and swamp vehicle Karakat - home-made equipment with high cross-country ability

Most Popular all-terrain vehicles in Russia, these are quad bikes. Of course, they are expensive, but they are ready for use right away. You can make a clever move - buy an old military truck with increased cross-country ability, like the GAZ-66, ZIL-131/157 or Ural-375/4320. Only their fuel consumption is such that you want to cry, and a diesel truck from Miass is expensive.

But what if you need a real, but budget all-terrain vehicle? You can buy a motocross or enduro motorcycle, but some people don't like this technology at all. If your budget is limited, but you have a garage, there is a solution - build an all-terrain vehicle yourself. Moreover, you can implement design ideas in it that are not found in factory models.

Handymen in Russia often assemble such equipment, next to which even serial all-terrain vehicles look frankly pathetic. For example, the author of the channel "Ivan Zenkevich PRO cars" found a homemade swamp vehicle Karakat. It was assembled by craftsmen for sale, but if you want and have "straight hands", you can try to repeat this feat yourself. Ivan Zenkevich will test the equipment, tell you about it in detail and even conquer a swampy river on it, and he will ride on the surface of the water!
