Opinions on tyger brand?

[starrskream]

They have a roll bar and two fold cover that work together. That’s the look I’m going for. Wondering if anyone ever picked these up and tried them?
for the bar I’d definitely be re spraying it with at least a good clear to seal it. I know these things are rust magnets.

Looks pointless

A lot of stuff is. I know I’d have to paint it to make sure it’s sealed properly.
ever heard anything about them, good or bad?

I've had their tri-fold cover on my Ram and my Gladiator great value for the price. I haven't tried any of their metal accessories.

I’ve got the soft tri-fold bed cover and it has been solid so far. It was recommended by a relative who has had his for 3 years and it’s held up well.

I bought a used Tyger soft trifold six months ago when I got my gladiator. Didn’t want to spend a lot until I knew for sure if I was going to put a cap on it or not. So far it’s been great. Cleans up nice. Cover material seems durable. Latches solidly and never leaks. It’s held up fine in a few snow storms this year as well with 6-8 inches wet snow piled on it. Nothing more you can ask for. I’ve always bought more expensive covers in the past but I would definitely be comfortable buying from Tyger based on my experience so far.

I don't know, putting a rollbar on my Jeep that says "Tyger" on the side just screams cheap China junk. I would pass.

I have several Tyger items on both my JT's. Tyger is a VERY solid brand. I have the rock sliders and front bumpers on both trucks. The bumpers are 5mm thick and very heavy built. The paint quality is excellent. I actually have 0 rust on either bumper and they have been installed for a couple years now. The sliders have been very heavily abused to the point I had to replace the ones on my truck. But I wheel really hard in my truck so it is to be expected. They are there for sacrificial protection and they do thier job well. As for the items you are looking at purchasing, I have also purchased both and for the same reason. They work together. Now for my reasons for no longer having either item. The roll bar just doesn't follow the lines of our cab. Our cabs are more squared off at the top corners and have almost vertical corner pillars. The roll bar upright pillars have more angle and don't follow the lines of the cab. The top corners of the bar are radiused way too much to match the top corners of the JT cab so the corners don't match and flow right. I remove my hard top and this rollbar just looks completely out of place with the top off. Like, just don't even do it kind of out of place!! Lol.
The taneau cover is super easy to install and is good quality but I had 2 issues with it. First this is absolutely a preference thing but it's a tri fold. You lose 1/3 of the bed space for anything taller than the bed sides unless you remove the cover. That's not a Tyger issue but rather a tri fold issue. My second issue with it was the top rail of the JT tail gate is slightly crowned in the center. The back rail of the cover was straight aluminum framing. This creates about 1/2"-5/8" gaps at each side/end of the cover to bed rail. I just couldn't deal with the gaps on the corners. Again, this too was a personal preference thing. But the cover fit and looked good other than this. I can't speak highly enough about the Tyger brand though. I would definitely buy thier products again. Hope this semi opinion based review gives you some direction.

Also, the tri fold with the roll bar will only fold one time. The second fold DOES NOT clear the roll bar. So keep this in mind.

im not planning to buy appliances or haul plywood anytime soon. The bed to me is more for storage. If I had planned to do those things I’d just take the cover off.
to me, the roll bar (I know it’s useless in a rollover, it’s just a name)is more of a I grew up watching fall guy and always wanted a truck with a rollbar so I think that this time I’m gonna make it happen one way or another lol

I get it. I traded a Colorado trail boss for my JT. The colorado had the same type of faux rollbar except it was factory designed and installed as part of a package. It flowed seamlessly with the lines of the truck. I thought I wanted the same thing for the JT until I put it on. Just didn't look right to me. The Fall Guy was one of my favorite shows too when I was a kid! Along with Knight Rider, The A Team, Air Wolf and some I can't remember. Lol

Tyger 3-fold randomly picked by my daughter and bought off Amazon. For a ~$200 piece, I was very satisfied.

I had a Tyger tri fold tonneau on a Tacoma. It was a good cover.
