Looking at the Avenger Mako TDS series in 9,500 and 12,000 lb mainly, but the Tigerz11 winches are REALLY cheap atm. Do these fit (Avenger or Tigerz?)

Thanks,

Having had quite a few winches, mainly for winch comps you definetly get what you pay for. If the budget stretches go with a Warn, a good all round winch being the XP9.5. It'll last you forever.

I have a Tigerz11 12000lb winch fitted to a deluxe arb bar. It's been a good winch for me, always done the job. Been on for 2 years now... Pretty hard to beat $800 including synthetic rope- much lighter and safer to handle.

As above for me too! Had mine for about 18m but only used it a couple of times. Mainly there for the 'just in case'.
If i was getting into more serious situations, I would have gone with Warn.
