My Feroza isn't quite the same as when it came from the factory and it's the sort of 4x4 most people wouldn't aspire to modify, but I have had a few 4x4's now (none of them standard) and this has definately been the most fun!

She's got the full lift job happening including jacked up torsion bars (front) with modified bumpstop rubbers and extended shackles (rear) with new (black with yellow dust boots)Tough Dog 4Way shockies all round. Along with the 33" Bridgestone Mudders, Sunraiser rims and 3" body lift, it's a total of 12 inches higher than standard!

I have customized most areas of mini_dozer. It started off as a bog stocker for my wife to drive as we had just bought a block of land and needed a cheap runaround, (as the funds were'nt availiable to buy a flash car) it was'nt even going when I got it! It had been traded in at a local car dealer that I used to work for and since I still had all my contacts there I hit them up about a good price for the Feroza. They told me I could take it as it was for $XXXX with no warranty and not going. So I took it back to my workshop and sussed it out, only to find that it had a blown fusible link. Once I replaced the link she was a goer!

As you can see in the pics, I've gone to the extent of adding some stainless steel gear to the car. I've had a custom snorkel and roo bar built to suit my little bus. These are made out of 316 stainless 3" steel pipe which has had mandrel bends added and all welding has been left exposed to add to the rugged look! The roo bar has a built in air resevoir which is the lower pipe. I use this for those 4x4 excursions that require the tyres to be let down. It makes pumping them back up, with my on board compressor so much quicker.
I've also fitted a 6mm polished aluminium bash plate under the transfer case and an aluminium punch hole skid plate to the front.
