Ironman4x4 Drawers $895

[hoser]

I've never seen an Ironman drawer thread so I thought I'd start one.

http://www.ironman4x4.com/html/drawersystems.html

Made in Australia. I believe they are made by Black Widow for Ironman. The closest Black Widow model is the "Travel Mate" which is a lighter duty and lighter weight version but has a 150KG load rating per drawer.

Right now, the 1000MM model (double drawer, side by side) is advertised at Dirty Parts for $895.50.

There is also a side/wing fitting kit available for the 100.

They look good to me, I emailed them to see if they can get the wing kit.

Black Widow seems to have a good reputation in Australia. Some complain of high weight of their "full duty" drawers and so maybe this is a good compromise in weight and price for some.

They look really good. Do you know much the side wing costs for an 80 and 100? Any idea if these in stock in the US?

Ha ha perhaps as a result of this thread generating increased interest, the price is now $995.

Looks like a group buy opportunity.

This is a good deal even at $999 since it pretty much cost me $800 to have my own metal drawers made by a local fabricator, but that included a top fridge slide and aircraft tie downs.

It seems a bit janky for $1000, maybe it's high quality once it's all assembled.

How much is a comparable ARB setup? How much to build a decent set of your own? (let's say using wood, decent hardware carpet or paint, not bedliner)

EDIT: Sorry, I was posting while the previous post occured. Opinions are still good on price, I know I want a set of drawers and wings for my LX, but not sure if I want to DIY, ARB, or this option yet.

TXLX ARB's are 1400 without accessories, tack another $100 on for fridge slide etc.

They have one drawer unit in stock more expected in August, they also told me ironman is raising the price 25% later this year. Wing kit is $350 + shipping and expected to arrive in August.

Definitely don't look sturdy enough for my taste, but if they are sturdy enough for you, then 1k is a darn good price imo. I easily spent more than that building my own!

google powerful 4x4 for cheaper but similar to ironman.For weight and strength try ORS drawers,they are high quality but $2000 au.Although you can buy as diy kit which is cheaper and freight friendler

Price jumped up $100

I wonder if anyone has used the weatherguard units. Probably the strongest one available

Those look nice!

 

[bamabrock]

I didn't know if it would be better to mount one of those and make a top with folding wings to finish it off. Just thinking out loud

 

[Newps]

So let me get this straight it’s $999 + 25% (increase coming) = $1,248.75 + $350 for the wing kit = $1,598.75? This is before shipping and tax. I am sorry but that is a lot of money for two drawlers. I have not seen the ARB drawler system in person but they look to be better in quality. Maybe someone and post up about the strength’s and weakness of each system.

I heard from a good source that Ironman was raising their prices so they won't be looked down upon. To not be considered the cheaper ARB brand, etc.

 

[hoser]

If that is the case, they'd better inject some serious $$$ in their R&D team.

Sorry but that is a dumb road to travel down. Same quality at a lower price is what they should be shooting for.

I completely agree. If I'm going to pay ARB prices, I'm going buy ARB.
