G'day all, am about to do a bodylift on the Feroza and wish to know does anybody have any photos or advice on replacement brackets for the bullbar and rear bumper once a two inch lift is done. Any recommendations, i.e. type of material, etc. much appreciated.
Cheers.

Thanks for the tips guys. MM, the warfs article was a little helpful if not a mentally draining read! It looks as if some flat bar for the rear mounts and some square tube might be the go for the bullbar......
Was trying to cheat and see if anyone had photos or dimensions of their own solution
just a little lazy, not to mention sh!t at fabricating anything

I lifted my Froza 3" with a body lift and it was a piece of cake, well almost.
3" steel rod with high tensile bolts and keep the rubber insertion or bush.
I made some simple brackets to drop the radiator down to the fan at first but not long after added a thermo fan and a switch which was soldered into the radiator (done properly). two brackets were made from alloy and polished to drop the fuel filter and something else in the engine bay (can't remmember of hand). Earth from engine to firewall was remade with some 4mm cable. Brake lines (steel) are coiled at the front and just need some gentle expansion. Rear brake lines reach OK even with 2"suspension lift as well. Everything else except for the Transfer Case lever remains pretty well untouched. If you lift the radiator you will need to play with the hoses, no biggy though. I don't know about the standard air filter arrangement as I've got a pod filter and pipe set up, so some modding may be required in that area?
Used some simple box section as spacers for the rear bumperets to lift them up and I had a custom stainless 3" pipe bar on the front so that was fine...
