Six months and $1200 bucks and Here it is

Post by Feroza 1.6lt »

Hey guys

Just a quick thanks for all the advise and Information on the site. I bought this thing six months ago threw some Maxxis muddies on it 30/9.5 inch, wound up the front and reset the rear about 3 inches all up. Bought a bull bar for a $100.00 (I know what a bargain).

Next is a snorkel and a winch.

Once again thanks

Cheers

Lukas

Well done on the bullbar!

It looks good and wouldn't have cost the earth to do. ;)

Also as far as i see your steering boxe is losing some oil (right side driver). Like mine but dont mind just check sometimes the oil if its empty and put a new one.

The tyres are awsome, as to the bullbar I got chatting to a guy at big river after I resued him (recoverd) his Hilux out of a masive bog hole he said that he used to have a Feroza and he rolled it. He had the bullbar and I got it for a $100 bucks. It had no indicators in it so I went to subercheep auto $40 bucks and some fitting amd it's done.

Good pickup on the steering box leak. I have not got around to fixing it yet It's one of those things that will never get done.

As to my springs in the rear, I had them reset. They get pulled out taken apart, retensioned and put together with an extra leaf. The ride is awsome and I can load the car to the max with camping stuff.

I do however have to replace the shocks all around for some longer ones. Can anyone make any recomendations?

Cheers

Being an F300, Commodore wagon rear shocks will fit the back. I think the ute ones might too, which come in heavy duty varieties- do a search I posted a whole thread on them with the lengths.

Nice truck mate, job well done.
Not sure if you can get them in Oz but I fitted 3" longer Procomp ES3000's
after my lift. Very good performers, nice ride and flex.

Yes, you can get Procomps over here- not very common but some places do sell them. Do you have a part number for future reference?

Hi David, I chucked the boxes away so next time I'm crawling underneath
I'll look for any numbers on the shocks.
