Do the tigerz have the adjustable clutch case? Need it so lever isn't in the radiator fan or intercooler...

Before I was aware of the wholesale Tigerz11 web site I asked a local 4x4 shop that exact question and they said that they normally had to remove the end (12 bolts? something like that) then rotate it so that the lever was easily accessible.
That comment was in relation to the earlier Hercules winch (which is what I've got) not the later Grande winch.
After having mine apart on the weekend, I think it might be possible. There is 3 parts to the motor, the square plate that the cross bars bolt to, the round motor housing with the terminals and the round end plate. There are 2 long cap head bolts that bolt all 3 parts together, the 2 bolts pass between the gaps in the 4 stator magnets, that are attached to the inside of round motor housing. So Im thinking that you should be able to past the bolts through the different gaps to get the terminal position you are after. As I said at the start "I think" haha hope this helps. Glenn

Waiting for payday then I'll have to order one of these bad boys I think. Hope it fits with the intercooler in there....

My control box is mounted to the top of the flat middle section of my bull bar between my driving lights *shrug*.
I don't do much deep water and if I have to then I can always drag out the water bra.

I have mine there, and so far no probs at all even after deep mud holes, water crossings with water as high as the bonnet.
Its easy to get too and most bullbars have the holes ready for the angled bracket to bolt straight on.
Edit: If you are concerned about someone tampering with it you can run a on/off switch either in the cab or under the bonnet.
I think Thats what Old Tony has done, but not 100% on that.

Hey mate, I've got a Northside 4x4 from mount. There are pics in the engine section. I hope a winch fits now.
