Tigerz11 banned from Melbourne 4x4 show

[Maxhead]

Just heard from a mate who's telling me Tigers got banned from the Melbourne 4x4 show!!!

I'm not surprised but who knows the whole story...I don't know the details..Is it because of their crap quality or them undercutting everyone???

[taslucas]

Thats interesting. Any more details?

I cant imagine that is true!!! that would be brave of them to do a show without 4wdAction support!

Maybe! That would be Huge!

Plenty of other sponsors very unhappy with them though! the likes of ARB and alike very much do not like them.

I'll make a few calls tomorrow and see what I can find out.
All I know is alot of ppl aren't happy with 4wd action and their association with Tigerz

[BigRAWesty]

That would be huge.. and off true it needs to be well publicized so all the young up and comers don't get caught out..

Roo systems are banned too. Allegedly their low prices have upset the competitors. If that's true (Roothy has made a video to that effect) it's wrong. We need compitetion in the 4WD market as a lot of gear is over priced. In response to the ban, both companies have lowered the prices even more!

Can't find anything on Google at all...

Yeah I agree prices have to come down but the quality needs to be good which is not currently the case with Tigerz

The problem with what they are doing is not the cheap pricing. Its the fact that they have taken the products of all the big names, of all the previous long term industry supporter and legitimate advertisers of their magazines and taken them to China and DIRECTLY COPIED the product and imported it with their own sticker.

ARB were basically told to get over it! we copied your bar, anyone can make a bar. and here is ours! its the same as yours! (except its made of thinner steel using cheaper Chinese labour)

I agree that the price of many items is over the top but often you pay for the Development of the item too and for keeping those jobs in Australia. I am not a Charity and i am guilty of buying from Overseas. But what Tigerz and 4x4action have done to the industry is a disgrace!

Rape and Pillage! Call Michelle Sacs or Powerful, or ARB, or Kaymar, or TJM, orBlack Widow.

The list is LONG!

I hate how everything comes down to price these days. Its the same old story: Is it cr@p because its cheap or alternatively, is it a rip off beacuase it costs more?

I just did a litlle search and got a few interesting threads pop up from the 4wd Action forum. Theres one that questions if Roo system winches are rebranded tigerz. Now which winch should have the 4wda loyalty? lol

The roof racks look similar between the two companies as well! About $200 is the only difference.
