My splurge is a rear awning to complement the Ironman 2mx2.5m awning I already have.

[fridayman]

Is the Tigerz11 12k Grande ($699) winch worth the extra money over the Hercules ($429)?

I hope so...i actually thought about it as the Hercules has a lower reduction ratio but there is some discussion on page one you might have missed regarding the upgraded Grande version.

Just bought the 2.5 mtr awning from tigerz for 1/2 the price i paid for one i purchased off one of our members last year with the "special price at that time" (along with some hidden costs that came with it on pick up time) ....... also got the 1.2 mtr awning and some recovery gear, postage costs about $25 ...will now be doing a re hash and get a winch and some other play things i never wish to use but know i will have to one day, for me or some other poor stranded bugger out there. All good can't wait to get them

[nisnav]

I popped in today and got myself the 48" jack  the place was full off stuff with a lot waiting to go out as the courier was late for his pick up, they were not happy  so if you are waiting for stuff I can confirm its packed ready to go ,,,,, just needs a truck driver

In one of ropes posts he had a comparison between the two. Personally in seriously looking at the dearer one.

After doing the research, I was set for a Grande winch, then I found their awnings and at them prices I grabbed a side and rear awning. Much much cheaper than the fox wing I was going to get(yes, I know a little less coverage too)

[Victim]

Bummer they dont do a 100 series roof rack but the high lift jack looks the goods.

Mark

I know.... That was exactly what I was after too.... There seems to be heaps on gutter mount racks around but not so many to suit the 100 series (at a good price that is) 

The search continues   

[Roo]

I had a bit of a think about the rear awning...1.2m wide....the top half of my 100 series tailgate is 1.4 wide so I'm thinking it may not be that useful for me. I might pass on it for now and look into what else is available. Been thinking of using one of the Blackwidow "Fred's arm" attachments to use the side awning over the rear....or make my own rear awning in a trapezoid shape to gain width.

[dooguss]

Roo have you checked out Polarised awnings made in Brisbane we have a side and rear awning very happy easy to use

found this while searching for a 'portable' 12v winch

(seen one somewhere when I did not need it)

Can't fit a 'normal' 12v winch to the Ssangyong  :'(

Just bought a hand-winch and side awning- all for less than i would have paid for the hand winch last month.... Awesome.
Handwinching means i am less likely to get bogged(or so everyone tells me- one use of the handwinch and you never want to get bogged again )

Thanks for the Heads up on the sale.

[dazzler]

Thanks mate, the main attribute I am after in a winch is that it work, first time, everytime and be able to rely on it to get me out of a sticky situation when I need it to, even if that's only once a year.

How will you winch backwards if thats the once a year thing happens?

Can be done....... but, you need to have all your ducks in one basket. You need enough snatch blocks and also enough anchor points in the correct position. I have never tried it but this video although slow and boring shows that it is possible, I think??

Almost bought the Pulley block, but read on it that it's only suitable for maximum 11mm cable, the 'manual' winches uses 16mm cable :'(
Bought the "e-z tire deflater" and the recovery "hitch & 4.7 bow shackle"

Have wanted to try that for a few years but never really had the free time.  Wonder how it goes with a load like a well bogged vehicle?

Would be an interesting afternoon!.

[UR-50-LO]

I bought a recovery kit and an air compressor.

[fridayman]

Just placed the order for Grande 12k, mounting plate, snatch strap, pulley block, ground anchor (not sure about this, but willing to give it a try), and a quick step. My wallet hurts.

Just phoned Tigerz to check on delivery estimation and was advised they could not find any information on the sale  :'(

Even gave them their Invoice Number they emailed me, with the items itemized and with the date, address and other information on it too

still waiting for the 'phone call' to tell me they have found the invoice and everything has been dispatched as was organised
The money has left my account a few days ago and I double checked the information as to where it went - all is good that way.


Has anyone else had hassles or is it just my exceedingly unfortunate bad luck  :'(

Got my two awnings and recovery block today. Great service.
The awnings are not the same as ARB ones, same general apperance but definately abit 'cheaper' quality. The cover bag is nearly double the size it needs to be and the rolled up awning 'flaps' about inside(even strapped with supplied straps) it where as the ARB one is a nice snug fit. Im abit worried the 'flapping' weight of the rolled up awning will tear the cover or awning from mount but time will tell. The plastic ends have that 'cheap and nasty' look about them, the mounting brackets are a joke, already half cracked where they are cold bent. Make up some new brackets, go gentle on the plastic ends or even replace these also. The canvas material looks the same.
 But for the price I think they are worth the gamble where as if I paid full price, Id be a bit miffed.
Also ordered a recovery block and shackle, shackle looks good, block looks like a 10yr machined it. Lucky it was only $25(looks nothing like in Maineys picture above)
