i love mine and with a set of 31's on im going all the places and a few more than a mate with a suzuki farm truck offroader. all ya need to do is a few small mods and it goes well, also just queitly it will do 165km on a really big straight just wouldnt recomend it.

all round a great little truck. if ya want to know what mods can be done just pm me and i'll go through what i've done to mine

I upgraded from a v6 Vitara to Ferozaush about 4 months ago, best thing i ever did the Feroza is by far more capable offroad than the Vitara and is more than able to hold it's own with some of the clubs "tuff" trucks in the mud, they love mud really really love it :) , good the middling ground clearance out of the box but it's dead easier to tweak them, reset or replace the rear springs with hilux ones, wind up the torsion bars in the front GET RID OF THE SWAY BAR ... DO IT THE SECOND YOU BUY IT!! .. 2roky has a list somewher of the mods hes done to his ... i followed his list to the letter and i would say it's transformed my little beatie into one preaty capable "shiny".

I added a 5000lb winch to mine and due to it's light wieght has so far been more than enough to pull me out of the mud or sand the odd time im bogged.

instead of going for 31's on mine as mine is a daily driver i oppted for 225x75x15 hankook RT01 Mud tyres for mine they measure out to about 29.5 inches in dia but are perfectly suited for the truck.. dosnt drop the power any and give me a little more ground clearance over the standard 27's it came with.

oh last thing to .. if you do buy it ... cut the cat off asap that sodding thing really saps the power out of the little girls heart.... i must have picked up 20% more power since doing that and are currently getting 154-160km out of $20 fuel (@$1.55L) not bad for a Fourbe
