Feroza Rear Bumpers

Post by mrpham »

Hey guys.

Need some help finding both left and right rear bumpers for my 1994 Feroza NT. It's the bumpers that have fittings for the entire light cluster including reverse lights. I was at the wreckers and noticed that some bumpers don't have fittings for the reverse lights.

Was in a bad rear end accident :x

I'm in Brisbane, but I don't mind paying shipping from interstate.

The bumpers without the lights are from earlier Ferozas (like mine) which have all the lights in the lenses, which it later ones had covered with body-coloured covers/blanks.

If you're finding it hard to get the exact bumper with the full cluster you could buy the blank bumpers from an earlier model and the in-body light cluster, rewire them and you're set. I've broken my bumper cluster multiple times and have bought the in-body cluster. They're sitting there awaiting installation... I'm sitting here awaiting time haha.

Technically not legal though.

They were moved down into the bumpers due to a change in ADR's, hence why numerous 4WD's which had a tailgate mounted spare had the same change in light arrangements down into the bumper at the same time.

Also, you'll note the earlier model also got away with it due to the centre mounted spare tyre, where the later model had it offset to the drivers side.

Ahh of course. I haden't thought of that. Thanks for the heads up.

So when I make up my rear bar I can't just relocate the lights up to the body? I'd have to put them back into the bar?
Just out of interest though. Has anyone moved their lights and been picked up on it?

from just looking at feroza's and rocky's i think that they are interchangable from the looks of them anyway so if you find a rocky one it might work as well

The early Ferozas had the reversing light in the body on one side (LHS?) only. But the brake and indicators were in the bumper.
eg. here's a 1990

Later models had the reversing lights incorporated into the bumper as well.

Here's a 1994

AFAIK it was only the early model Rocky that had the body mounted lights and I remember reading they will fit a Feroza. Feroza's weren't sold here until 1988, the ADR's must have changed before then?

that sounds about right as our 95 f78 rocky has the same as the 94 model shown above
