Tigerz11 What gear do you have & what do you think.
Just what to see what people think of there gear.
I was thinking of getting one of there Awnings ang winch.

I have their Thumper Compressor and it's a pearler, beats my ARB compressor for cost and speed of inflation.
I don't have their branded winch but I do have one almost identical to their 12,000lbs Grande, it was about $200 cheaper but all the specs are identical.

i have a grande winch with rope but still haven't finished paying for the bullbar so it's still sitting in my shed.
i'm sure the awning is the same as the Roo systems one (which i have) and it's great
-

I have been doing a bit of research for a winch myself now that I have the ARB bar.
Bloke up the road just purchased a Tigerz for his brand spanking new Jeep Wrangler which he is spending a lot of mines money on. He took it to a local shop to get installed and was told don't bother.

Interesting read that..I would have to say going with that you would be mad to get the winch

Im sure theres another thread on Tigerz gear on this page if you search. It wasnt flattering

I had a tigerz winch................. Just don't buy it. End of story. absolute POS.
Irony of ironys, I just pulled another tigers winch out of a friends GU, its sitting on the floor in my garage if you want it?
he used it a total of 7 times and it needs a new motor, clutch, lever and it flexes more than the suspension on another friends comp truck.
Honestly, he paid around $900 for his and it lasted 18 months. A bl**dy aldi special at $350 lasted longer....
At the money they ask for those winches you are only a couple of hundred away from a warn winch.
End rant

When I bought my 80 there was a Tigerz 11 winch on it. We checked the rope and found it was bound on tight so decided to re spool it. Turned the winch to free spool and with a lot of effort got the rope all spooled off. Went to respool it, winch not working. Used both the remote and the usual controller, no go. After playing with the connectors finally got the winch to move, but had to hold the plug in part in just the right spot to have contact.
Later on went to use the winch again. It worked a bit and then stopped. Didn't matter what I did neither controller would make it work. So with the rope out and under tension, we managed to get the 80 unstuck and looped the rope around the bullbar. turned out to be a further electrical problem and with an improved earth the winch again worked.
Used it a couple of times, nothing really aggressive or hard just some simple easy winches, no dramas. Then we went to winch a log around off the road and the winch worked for the first 30 secs to put tension on the line and move the log six inches and that was it. It appears the clutch is gone in it. With the motor going either in or out the drum does not move. With the motor going to wind the rope in we could grab the rope and pull it out off the drum.
In previous vehicles I have always had a Warn winch and never had a problem with them. As for the this POS I can not wait to be rid of it. You get what you pay for. In this case I bought a vehicle with it fitted and I would never by anything with a Tigerz 11 name on it again.
