Yes, this is probably overkill for a camper conversion. But you"d be able to survive like Bear Grylls if you kitted this out properly.For sale on a well-known auction site, this Ural 375 6x6 comes with a tiny 5,198km on the clock, or 3,330 miles in English. Although with this being ex-military, those miles may have been rather mechanically unsympatheticUnder the bonnet is a 6.9-litre ZIL V8 with an unstressed-to-the-point-of-asthmatic 180bhp and a five-speed plus two-step gearbox. It"s pushing solid axles with leaf springs, and it"s all brought to a halt with drum brakes.Yep, that"s drum brakes. Mind you, the brakes don"t need to be expensive carbon-ceramics because with the mechanical drag of the 6x6 system and a top speed of only 47mph, it probably doesn"t need much extra stopping. We imagine aerodynamics do their bit too.
