This UAZ 4x4 is from Honduras where Adolfo E Pena Cabus uses it to climb 5,000 feet to his tiny coffee plantation located beside a tropical rain forest. He says that the UAZ's perfomance exceeds that of the LandCruiser, Nissan Patrol and any other SUV with the exception of Land Rover Defender, the only 4x4 capable to exceed the UAZ's abilities.
