    Would have got the free add anyway. will never touch or recommend Tigerz to anyone, I'll only use proven products not some mag that buys a truck load of cr*P to un load on us, just look at all threads of failed products let alone one damaged GU from a roof rack in this forum

    I understand that many of the current advertisers have abandoned teh mag. The likes of ARB and other big names are very unhappy with the Tigerz brand basically copying their stuff in China and flogging it off back into this market. All the advertising that is currently appearing is due to big Print runs in India. watch the mag and see them all opt out in the coming months as the print runs out.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    EMG (4WD Action publisher) owns Tiger11 now, so that explains the push - need a return on their investment ... they made a bid for another supplier also and were knocked back. They also informed their current major advertisers (ARB, TJM, Piranha, etc, etc) that they were getting more into the product side of the market to offset company costs, provide 'alternate' options for buyers, and generally I would say, to make some coin out of the whole affair - apparently wasn't received too well by the majors and subsequently, I think you'll see more and more of them retracting (or reducing their advertising at the very least) in the short term future. That's business these days I guess - cant blame them for it - if the market for the lower end items (ripoffs or otherwise) weren't there due to consumer demand, then it would be a moot point and we wouldn't be discussing this currently.

    One potential positive though - less ads in the mag and more concentration on topics - paid for by (you guessed it) product sales that go to them and not the other players.
