Has anyone used a tiger z winch?

[04OFF]

If anyone has a Tigerz winch can they read the fine print and let me know if it says not for off road use?
I was told this is true

Bwahaha, that would be very funny if true.

Assuming its not just the newer ones (as ive had mine over 14 months), think ive still got the box my winch came in, and i just came across the owners manual the other day, so ill have a look 3D.

It certainly does not say anything like that on the winch sticker anyway.




I used to know a lot of people that could put a "not for off road use" on their 4wd, some only going off road "once" in 2 or 3 years.........pffft, just buy a getz or something !

Hmmmm... It is true actually.. and one of the many reasons for pissed off people when trying to get warranty parts..
Someone did post a pic of it a while ago either here or that other patrol site..
I seem to remember TD finding it but could be wrong..

Well, went right over the Tigerz box , no such mention, it does have a big "OFF ROAD" written on the side.


Then i took to the owners manual, read through "every" bit of text , does NOT mention anything like "not for off road use", it does say "solely for vehicle and boat mounted, non-industrial applications".






Phew !, at least mines OK use on the dirt then.............bwhahahahahh !

True story I've seen it, but they may have changed the booklet.
As for TJM winches they are Made by TJM China to their specs.

The Aldi winch I picked up, cheap, had water in the gearbox. After spending quite some time cleaning and regreasing it, I have added an extra O ring to the clutch handle, and have used silicon to make seals for the cable drum. I used an electrical Junction box which seals properly, for the control box. when all of it has dried for a few days, I will put it in a big container of water and run it. Fingers crossed.

Tigerz 12000, no "no offroad use only sticker"on ours.
Works well, good price.
