This bumper reinforcement fits Bukhanka (Classic 2.4L & 2.9L, Modern 2.7L) and prepares the front end for a clean, safe winch installation. It strengthens the mounting area behind the bumper so recovery loads are transferred into the structure rather than the bumper skin, preserving steering and body alignment during hard pulls.
Why choose this bumper reinforcement?
If you plan to add a winch or regularly use front recovery gear, a reinforced base is essential. This winch-prep brace spreads the load into stronger mounting points, reduces flex and vibration, and keeps the van’s classic look intact without committing to a full steel bumper. It’s a practical upgrade for overland travel, snow recovery, forestry access, and expedition use.
Technical details:
Type: Front bumper reinforcement with winch preparation
Size: Medium
Intended use: Structural base for winch and fairlead behind the factory-style bumper
Brand: RIF
OEM reference: 452-11738
Vehicle platform: UAZ “Bukhanka” (SGR family)
Compatible models:
Bukhanka Classic (2.4L)
Bukhanka Classic (2.9L)
Bukhanka Modern (2.7L)
Installation tips:
Dry-fit the reinforcement and winch to verify fairlead alignment and cable path before torqueing. Protect power cables with loom, keep them clear of sharp edges and heat sources, and re-torque all fasteners after the first off-road session or ~100 km.
When to replace / Why upgrade
Choose a reinforcement when adding a winch to a factory-style bumper or if you notice bumper flex during recoveries. Upgrading improves pull stability, distributes forces more evenly, and reduces the risk of localized damage to the front end.
