Trailer drawer....IMI vs Cobra...any thoughts?

[Keith Schwab[_2_]]

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for a pretty boring question, but I am going to install an under trailer drawer and I see that there are two products available: IMI and Cobra. I was curious if there is any experience which one is better/worse, both equal? ect.
Thanks for your help,
Keith

I've fitted both to Cobra trailers.
Go with the IMI.

I have seen Cobra boxes for sale in the US but not IMI. Anyone know of a US source? Cost?

Has anyone made their own box from scratch? Plans?

Thanks, John

I have had a Cobra trailer with their drawer and I am currently waiting for a new Cobra without a drawer with a view to fitting the IMI one later. There wasn't much wrong with the Cobra drawer but I sometimes clipped the rear end of it going across obstacles and the IMI one has an angled rear which will give a bit more clearance.

John, Wings and Wheels is the US distributor for IMI and carrys the drawer you seek. IMHO less ground clearance on a trailer that WILL be going off road is the last thing I want though.
