do these winches fit in winch capatible gu patrol steel bullbars

[MudRunnerTD]

Yes all except the 2 speed "comp" winch that will be too long.

The Tigerz winches were pretty good until about 2 years ago when they went into business with 4wd action mag and customer service and quality went out he window in favour of mass marketing and lowering of QA out of china.

If you have not bought it yet then search here or Google to see lots of very unhappy customers. Rethink your purchase if you can or understand what your buying.

Happy New Year bud

I have 12000 pound grande and love it, since July of 2012
Used in anger about 15 times forself recovery, and recovery of others.
Run it in andout at least every fortnight to keep it all lubricated.
Pulled out a tree stump yesterday.
Even the wireless remote works well, once used to the signal delay.

EMG and Tigerz only merged in 2012.

Tigerz 12000lb winch owner here, had it for about two years, love it to bits, used it today to help me get up a stupid hill made of dust and rocks, have used it quite a bit over the time I've owned it, has never let me down.

I am going to need one also.... Petes winch flogged mine and I cannot safely rely on mine.

Not sure what to do as I have the one on my car plus a Supercheap 9500 pounder only used 6 times that I took off my Hilux when I sold it but dont really think 9500 is enough to pull my GQ???

9.5 will pull your GQ easily mate. No hesitation

So do you think I should just use that for now mate.... was hoping you would reply to this??

The 12,000 that is on it now has had a hard time and is really slow.

A little left field to this topic, but is fitting a winch to a standard GU bullbar a DIY job?

Should a winch be high on my list of additions to my 2004 Patrol to make it ready for going off road?

My winch is the single most important bit of kit I've bought for my Mav, it has saved my bacon a few times now along with a few other peoples as well.

Thats a lot of bacon, mmmm, bacon....*drools*

Seriously though, mine paid for itself the first time I used it. Look at it this way, having a winch could mean the difference between driving home and walking home.

It's not a "necessity", but think of it as cheap insurance.
