Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've been thinking about this one for a couple of weeks now...

Has anyone chopped a feroza into a trayback? I think it would look really cool if it was done right. Not just "take out the rear seats and leave the hard top off.

A real trayback, solid wall behind the drivers seats with a window for rearview, then aluminium tray kind of thing.

Any sources?

Lots of Rockys have it done.. so I don't see why a Fez cant

Would look quite sweet though

Have a look through the intro thread, I'm sure someone was doing it and posted some poor quality pics? Couldn't see much becuase it was too dark.

Saw a rocky ute yesterday and it looked pretty cool !

Had to look twice it was a really profesional job!

You could buy Rocky utes new from Daihatsu!?

Fair enough thats why it looked a profesional job!

They also made Rocky SWB Softtops if you ever see one around and wondering.

your not the only one thats thought of a trayback roza fearhoza, i've seen a pic or 2 on this forum that looks sweet! just need to break out my fibreglass and make one.



good to meet you today.

nice to meet you too

truck looks awesome mate, wish you had it with you today, would have needed to close shop early!

so how much lift do you have in total? any mods up front or just torsion bars?

if you plan on making up a fibreglass plate to convert the roza, feel free to make a second for yours truly

as i was saying as well, im on the lookout for hq-hz ute rear leaves, and vk-vs commodore wagon shocks. they bolt right on. then just chuck some extended shackles on the back and we have liftoff!

are you still in the area? i've got the coffs DVD here if you are interested, or maybe pm me your address and ill pop a copy into a post pack for you.

if i get this damn mr2 i bought running today i might have to pop into the shop then. haha

i did mine last year. got some pics but can't seem to upload them can anyone help?!?

looks great! do you have any details on what you put in the back there?

Nice job and no cost for doing it because as far as i see you have used the plastic top of the feroza am i right? Some details on measures and input could be good for the future (when my feroza want be any more my daily car but my toy )

i used the rear windsreen atached to some 12mm ply. made some brackets out of 2mm steel to fill in the gap around the window and the body, then used the original rubber seal, that the window normaly closes to, and atached it to the metal brackets to seal it.
then used the rear lid and cut the back peice off to finish the job off.
it worked quite well but the tricky bit was sealing it to make it waterproof inside the cab. make sure you've got plenty of silicone sealer!

That looks really good- top job!

yes, very neat indeed.

cut the back off the feroza yesterday, looks pretty
sweet, modifying the engine bay today, so the V6
can fit more comfortably,then create new body mounts.
that should do for today..then roll cage,followed by
the back panel & finishing..will start adding pics to
pigletracing section over next few weeks

pics of feroza ute chop,,1st cut now on piglet racing forum

were is the piglet racing forum link

just as long as i dont start driving like a hair dresser..
it was a toss up weather to stay daihatsu or go toyota rav
uted..but the feroza is coming together well..
had to leave the scat shape,,seems a few people have
discovered its shape as a comp truck..
how is your project doing?? be great to catch up over
some beers to check it out,you want a 6 wheeler as a
project, for a tow rig?? probably only cost you a few
bottles of wildturkey. its a custom dual cab style side
ute 6wheel drive scat,only missing motor g/box & trannie
some rust,but less than your yellow one

Had 3 weeks of over xmas to work on it, made one engine mount , but drank lots of beer, you'd better pm me some details about this other one . i'm going to have to live to 250 years old to finish half the crap i got here

yes,,true that about 250 years,, my chassis is down getting
straightened & stregnthend at pres(didnt like the back flip)
making the body mounts this w/end,,only have to make
4 new ones,as 2 line up,then we start on the cage..
