Hi guys just wanted to let you know that after 4 1/2 great years of owning a Feroza, the time had finally come to move forward and part with my loyal truck.
I spotted a SWB GQ Patrol last saturday in fair condition, with a few extras that were attractive to my wife and I (like automatic tranny), and so today I switched off the ignition of the mighty Forza for the last time and drove home in a shorty Patrol!
I just truly wanted to thank everyone on all the interesting, useful and inspiring topics I had the privilage of being a part of.
And if I may I would still like to hang around and throw the odd sarcasm or two around here.
All I can say after all this is that Ferozas Rock!
All the best with the new truck... but auto transmission? Now that's a real hairdresser's 4wd.
Cheers

Yep - it's damn hard letting go itsn't it. Almost couldn't bring myself to drive it down to the dealers to trade her in
Well - you should only look forward, never back as they say Still didn't stop me remembering the good ole days when I saw her in 4wd Monthly again last month - damn it's hard to forget !!
All the best with the new wheels -
Later - Mike H.

I know how you feel. I am in the market for a GQ also, after 4 years with the Feroza. Its just not enough anymore. Not big enough, not capable enough, not enough power. Ready for more comfortable touring and competetion.
I still think the Feroza was a great starting point into 4x4 world. Although it was'nt my first truck. I had a petrol Rocky before that.
I discussed the thought of doing redical mods (SAS) to it for countless hours to guys like Leon with an engineering back ground. But it was simply to big a task and the law is not exactly on your side either. Oh well. Life goes on.
Go for it mate at least no you will be able to have a larger range of parts available for mods with not as many dramas. I've actually upgraded my truck again. I'm in a V8 100 series now.
