TigerTail??

Check this thing out...Looks good in theory but I wonder if one good "hit" on the throttle would have adverse effects on the drum. It does look well built though.

I've looked all over that site and can find NO mention of any warranty.

For $159.95. there better be a doosey.

For that kind of money you could set up a cheap winch from Home Depot, Wal-Mart or Harbor Freight.

Looks cool, but I bet the retraction mech breaks after a few good yanks and your left with just another tow rope.

looks good but i would not swap it for my winch, can't see what is wrong with a rope with a hook on. if it came with kinetic rope it would be worth it.

That's cool! This would be a great supplement to my winch. I've had many times had a need to extract myself from places where my front-placed winch wouldn't have worked (4' snow bank, etc).

You haven't been on the site in a long time and this is the best post you can come up with? WE need a good Bearcat original like maybe Kens quad with His Obama sign on it. this should be good.

I won a free TigerTail and it should be arriving today. I submitted a story and they awarded me with a free unit for their October submission.

I'll post some pics after installation!

Today, in the mail, I received a free cover for the TigerTail. These guys are awesome. Over $160 in freebies for one little story.

I'm going to go snow riding on Saturday and hopefully provide a great photo for them. I didn't think my story was that great, but I guess they're just generous!
