the hercules is the older model from 08. It uses the older style solenoids and not the thompson solenoid. It also has the old style braking system whereas the new one is more refined in every way. Warranty is 1yr on winch and 6 months on the control box for hercules whereas it is 5 years and 2 years for the grande. I did hear somewhere you had to get it serviced yearly to keep the 5 yr warranty but dunno how true that part is.

i doubt you will get it underneath. Can put it anywhere under the bonnet if you feel like extending the cables and have the room for it. This goes for any winch really not just the tigerz

I have the new type fitted to my xrox bar and it is awesome, it got a flogging on Sunday and did it no dramas at all. I am working on relocating my control box into the engine bay and fitting in cab controls.
Here is a vid of it in action yesterday

Have just been told by my local 4x4 mech that runva are comparable in quality and price but have better warranty? Just thought I'd let you all know,

i have a 12000lb tigerz winch and for $775 including postage i'd say you cant go wrong, it came with a 5 yr warranty and as long as its serviced once a year it remains valid, the amount of good reviews i've heard on forums, word of mouth and from magazines i dont think you can go wrong for the price and its 12000lb!!!! check out some of the youtube clips, they put the winches through some serious torture. only thing i have heard that could be a problem is that if water does get into the clutch or brake it cant escape due to it having supposed 100% water proof seals, although i'm sure if you give it some moderate use it would heat up and dissipate

steve hobbs aka mr tigerz11 told me that any 4wd outlet or "respectable" hyundai dealership (my old work) would be fine for servicing. i'd prob choose your local 4wd mob though as i've never seen a terracan in a situation needing a winch

has anybody put a tigerz hawse on their factory winch bar? wondering if they bolt straight on or need to be modified somewhat because the cut out seems big to suit the roller fairlead, also where does the number plate get relocated to?
