I had a spastic11 winch. Paid retail, lasted 6 weeks.
the faults within 6 weeks:
*gear selector snapped off.
*solonoid fried itself
*remote out works, but in doesn't
*paint/coating coming off and rusting.

They did offer to replace with a new one.....
I said give me my money back and ran away.....

I can't help much with the rack, but it took 3 weeks to get a refund on the winch. The biggest irony is that I only used the winch once..... thats when the selector snapped and I realised that it wouldn't wind in. ********EN POS!

To make you laugh now, I have an aldi winch which is going strong and used it nearly 8 times now.

You do get what you pay for.
I own an ARB alloy roof rack ($1200) and another brand but most likely built by same guy who builds the Tigerz11 alloy racks ($400-500).
Reason: No one in Australia was offering (at the time) an alloy touring rack so I built one using the cheaper brand rack as a base to start with (amazingly the people who've either seen it or talked to me about it now offer them now.....I think mine looks better...and I wasn't risking a perfectly good $1200 rack

Differences between the ARB and the cheap brand:
The cheaper is lighter....a lot lighter (even more now it's in touring form) 2x people to lift off ARB rack & only 1x for the modified cheap to lift on.
Cheaper rack has 8 legs to spread to load over - ARB only 6 legs
Both have a diamond shaped mesh floor similar looking to a alloy front house screen door.
However the cheaper is very thing (around 5mm dia mesh) bends when you walk on it - ARB is as thick as the front screen door (around 10mm dia. mesh) doesnt bend when I walk over it.
I mounted my roof top tent to the main rungs, not the mesh (I wouldn't trust mesh like that but in saying that Id do the same way to the ARB rack for extra safety).

To sum up:
I say the ARB Alloy Roof Rack is well built a far more superior rack and will take a lot more abuse. However its heavier then the cheaper model,
The cheaper brand has the extra support to spread the load better (6 support feet under the rooftop tent & 2 more in front), its super light, I believe it will still do what job it is built for however I would & currently do have it on the vehicle as pictured.

My brother-in-law just took delivery of his brand new Tigerz11 alloy rack a week or two ago.

First impressions are it's a good unit. It's got 8 legs, and needed two people to lift it onto the patrol. The welds look good, and the finishing is good. All bolts are stainless steel. It's got tabs and pre-drilled holes for aerials, lights, etc. It arrived very well packed , covered in bubble wrap and in perfect condition.

Weirdness - the legs are each drilled with two holes with nuts welded on - top left and bottom right. This allows the rack to be moved up or down on each leg. 7 of the 8 legs were set up as above. The 8th leg was set up with the holes and nuts in the opposite top right and bottom left corners, and as such it wouldn't adjust. Had to drill out the "proper" holes, and use a nyloc nut onto the bolt. It's just odd.

It's probably not as good as an ARB rack, but from what I've seen so far it looks like a good thing. Maybe it'll break soon, or maybe they've got a different supplier.

My $0.02.

Cheers,
Matto
