Gday guys,

I need to know what snorkel can be modded to suit a feroza. Or even if there is one already aftermarket i can buy.

Much appreciated

Simon

I looked around alot and the only one I could find was on e-bay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fibergla ... tsupported

I made my own (Fitting it as soon as I get the gonads to drill into the body - might just get a pro shop to cut the holes) using http://www.warfs.org/content/view/59/1/ as a guide.

good luck wiith either

Yeah i looked on the snorle;s.com.au site and they only have rocky ones. I thought they were a different snorkel thats all mightymouse? can you confirm that the rocky one fits the feroza?

polished 4" alloy looks better & is cheaper. check out the FATROZA back a few pages on "pigletracing a few pics ect" you will see what I meen.
Hay MM I just swaped the SWB GQ for a custom dual cab style side ute GQ
now Ill start modding it

Cheaper perhaps but I don't like metal snorkels - somehow they just look..... tacked on, no matter how professionally their actually made.

But I understand its a matter of opinon so each to their own :lol:

As for the shorty - well that's what you get for going away from the Diahatsu camp - nothing quite makes the grade after ;)

Ive been guiding a bloke up north on a feroza modification.
He wanted big coil lift, big motor,bla, bla,bla like the fatroza.
I have shown him a cheaper better way to do it...
(1) he's now buying a drivable SWB GQ but with a stuffed body
(2) then he'll get a feroza cab & legnthen the wheel base by a little.
(3) then put it on the GQ,new paint & its finished.

say hay presto.... 1 feroza, with wider,longer wheelbase, stronger driveline, more comfort on road/offroad, 4.2turbo intercooled dsl or he can legaly go a V8 later..but best of all its still a fatroza.

And all probably with less tears and work than fixing a genuine roza :oops:

I still detect a touch of nostalgia there piglet......

to be honest with you,Ibasicly told him exactly what I would do,after learning the hard way.. & its the way Id like a tourer.. thus the reason for the GQ SWB in the first place... I didnt tell my wife that ofcourse..
but I already have 2 feroza cabs tucked away behind the bottom shed,waiting for the cut & shut,,,, just sitting patiently for the day I roll the SWB GQ... Now it will have to be a dual cab...
my very short owned GQ swb is in for sale section,still with the piglet stickers on the doors.
