The only reason I mentioned the steel rack and rust is ive got powerful 4x4 steel rack thats getting a bit of rust now 3 yrs later and i can imagine tigers being of the same quality. weight annoys me also certainly not a one man install.
My next one will be alloy

I have had one if their winches on my old nav, didn't have a problem with it it worked great, I have got one of the awnings on my patrol now and love it.
I also use the recover gear and no problems with it.
I also have the single and double swags, they seem to be a lot better than other good brands. Can't fault them.
Don't knock it till you try it.

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe at this stage might wait until something pops up here, fleabay or gumtree. Have also just noticed on the 4wd supacentre site that roo systems bull bars going for about 890.

think I might go and get one on Friday. Suggestion I make is, if buying the cheaper cages, throw bolts / washers / nuts in the bin and replace with stainless first up.

I have a Tigerz 11 winch and for the price performs well... I have done many recovery's and including very steep recovery's on big lumpy GU's with no winches installed so my car had to do all the work..
The one thing is the rope does come off the reel and I would modify the clamp that holds the rope to the drum..
As for a roof rack I have a steel rack (not sure from where) and its ok but I am looking for an alloy one as it is a lot of weight on the roof.
The last couple of trips I have taken 60lts of petrol with me and with the weight of the rack it is just too much..
I hang my rack from the roof in my car port.... I would hate to have to get that off and on any other way.

.
Mine has a screw in the end of the rope, but anyway the screw/clamp is not designed for any load.
You should never unwind so much rope off the drum to get even close to the end of the rope, i would never go less than about 5-10 windings around the drum, depending on what you are pulling/doing.
