Yet another feroza in 4wd monthly
Moderator: Tiny
Feroza's in 4wd Monthly for 2 issues in a row !! talk about breaking the drought 
& they even gave my old bus a another spin
Damn she was a good looking piece of work, forgot how much work I had to put in to clean her up for the photo shoot 
Did look a lot better later on though with the Warn Winch, Locker, Revolver Shackles & more lift, wheel spacers & more rock rashes
- damn I miss her
oh well - onwards & upwards as they say.
were pretty optimistic in the article though - like to know how they reckon you can get 4" lift out of the IFS without doing any major upgrade
GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!
Later - Mike H.

I'm still looking for the Tweetybird wheel covers that I need to make my Whistler feel whole again.
But honestly, the majority of Ferozas I've seen around have been driven by blokes. I see more Sierras and Vitaras being driven by young girls (not that I've got anything against Suzukis). How feminine can a truck with a transfer case really be?
I remember trying to talk a female work colleague into buying a Feroza over other small 4wds in the mid 90's (I couldn't afford a new one myself ) but she said that they looked too much like a four wheel drive, and all the other ladies agreed with her!
Anyway, if it was a ladies car, wouldn't the vanity mirror be on the driver's side?

A copper around the corner from here has a 5 door vitara - the older style, with a lift kit and muddies - it looks OK too - good reasonably priced vehicle to do some offroad work in if the budget wasn't too large I guess.
But I agree the Feroza looks A LOT more, how can I be diplomatic, "purposeful"?

I've had a few female Feroza drivers come up to me to check out the rig..but Heather has banned me from talking to them now
So is that how you picked Heather up?!?
I've followed a few wide tracks and they are very wiiiide compared to mine. Anyone know how much difference there is?

Not sure the exact difference in width between the models. The widetrack is 58" wide, hilux is 55" wide...
As a hairdresser (a straight hairdresser) I love my feroza and I think that it looks preety mean with a little lift and some chunky 31's under the gaurds . You guys shouldn't even be comparing them to suzukis cause were in a league of our own. IT is true though guys hairdressers love these little trucks.
Hey Andrew,
And yes I'm still alive. I didn't go last week on the trip this time cause I didn't want to make any more people upset. After the last trip when I out performed most other drivers with there big 35'S and diff locks I think there were a couple of them who actually wanted to shot me.
FEROZAS RULE!!!
Web site? What web site. Mate Iam even lucky to touch the mouse. You try and get Robbie off the computer let alone update the site.
