Has anyone thats commented actually owned a Tigerz roof basket ?
I mean, you hear exactly the same comments in a 1000 other threads about winches, most are from people that have "never" owned one ?
If....... you are just jumping on the china gear "baggin wagon", please refrain from commenting , just like the OP, id also like to know about them, but can we hear from people with "first hand" experience in owning and using one please (not people telling us about a mates one)
No, i don't secretly work for tigerz, (lol), its just , dispite what threads like this say, everything ive actually "owned" from them so far ,i have personally found to be brilliant value for money.

I have the Tigerz11 air tank which appears to be an ok make but not yet installed. I didn't like the hose that came with it so bought some other replacement hose

I have a TigerZ Alloy full length roof rack. First impressions is its cheaply made. The floor section of it looks like they stole a security door to make it. That part vibrated a lot so I had to use around 40 cable ties on it to stop the vibrations. Fitment wasn't too hard, some of the bolt holes didn't line up but being alloy it was an easy fix. As for the paint. Its staying on o.k. Its only flaked off where I had something clamped around the tube. It does me, I wont be putting anything heavy on it being alloy. It just carries my light bar, swag and thats about it. I actually sold my steel ARB rack to get this as the steel rack was way too heavy and I'll never need its strength.
So apart from the cable tie issue its o.k. But I haven't compared it to any branded alloy racks so I can't really make a comparable comment. Only just on my experiences with this one.

Mate of mine bought one after telling him to use caution.
The material is that light we could twist it in our hands. After a couple of trips the brackets started to tear out.

Same, mines installed, working well.
Haha, i thought the same about the security door mesh, at least no-one will break in through your sunroof ! (lol)
And of course, they are cheap to buy, so can't be expensively made, but i bet there is plenty of products we buy that are cheap to make , but are expencive to buy.
Yes, Some people only buy a roof basket to mount a awning on, so the weight and wind resistance/drag of the rack is most important, not a fully loaded around australia trip.
Do you know what he was putting on the basket westy ?
I've had a T11 roof rack for a couple of months now, I haven't loaded it up for a big trip yet but I can walk on any part without flex, no worries. The build quality isn't the best but the paint seems to be okay. For the price i payed, ($350 on special) I could buy 4 of these for the price of an ARB/TJM rack.
yeah I priced a ARB roof rack 2 weeks ago down here 1780 bucks..Mind you I stuck my old $200 metal one back on the 4b..and fitted my tigerz11 rooftop tent I scored for 500 bucks..still 1080 bucks infront.
Watch this space, as there maybe a comment added soon

i havent had a roof rack but i did buy a bull bar (their bulls must be light weight) it arrived with scratches and cuts all over it plastic wrap melted to the powdercoat and behind the main bar was rusty??? sent it back and got my money back took 3 mths after i returned it, compared to the original bar it was half the weight so a lot thinner, from that experience i would not buy any major components from tigerz, things like compressors etc i would have a crack at but anything that you need to rely on no way.
2003 gu3 td42tdi sold 😞 bloody gvm towing crap. Bt50 3500kg gvm.
I made my own and bolted it to some Rhino racks.
I don't need full length with sides etc,
worked out cheap as chips.
just another option
