I've put the sliders on two cobra trailers. If you own a Cobra trailer, buy one of these kits. Amazing difference. German Engineering can accomplish a lot and Cobra trailers are true wonders but after adding this kit you'll just want to stand in the driveway all night and slide the ramp back and forth.

I've done two trailers, and believe one was the first outside of Bumper's immediate supervision. An excellent mod! As Tony implies, buy it NOW from whoever has stock.

What a great idea. Kinda tripping mentally over $15 for shipping though....

It is so worth having, sometimes I just drive to airport, open trailer and slide/glide rail out to have someone run smooth in my life. Close trailer and head back to reality. It is like meditation.


Nothing beats the bump-bump-bump-bump-bump sound of a mid 80s Komet trailer ramp being pulled out. That takes me back to student pilot days at HHSC every time I hear it (if I wasn't flying, I was helping someone rig or de-rig). The metal/metal screech of the Cobra I just bought won't do. Can't wait to fix it.
