Eyebolt on either side of the cooler, strap under the lid. Close the lid. Works great.
<Baller has entered the conversation >Milwaukee packout cooler and base
Right?! I’m still in the repurposed road side ratchet strap around the handles kinda guy. I’m also working with a pelican cooler that was full blown clearance type of price so….<Baller has entered the conversation >
That's the sort of idea I was looking for. Those with a turnbuckle would be ideal.Amazon product ASIN B09CMNV65T
Something like these and turn buckles work good.
So how about a quick release mechanism? I never can seem to find what I'm looking for when I search.Amazon product ASIN B09CMNV65T

Thanks man
ok so what is that? Google didn't help me too much.Thats what i have used. Works best with a fastgun turnbuckle to get that "quick release" option
You see, go to the address bar, type in "google". Then type "fastgun turnbuckle"ok so what is that? Google didn't help me too much.
What about the Boat cooler holder? maybe change out the bungees for something more secure. but it holds my cooler in place in front of the console in rough chop.

My google found that too!This might be a good way to go.
Turnbuckle - Deck Plate Cooler Kit — Cooler Tie Downs | Low-Profile Systems by Kennedy Products
The Turnbuckle Cooler Tie Down Kit works with many Igloo and other marine coolers and provides a rigid and extremely secure attachment. With appropriate adapters, the Turnbuckle Kit can also be used with most other coolers, including roto-molded coolers, when the added rigidity of the Turnbuckle atwww.kennedytiedown.com
Listen I did that and my sticker shock showed those $400 things.
My google found that too!
I guess I should be clearer. the ones I found were for campers. Securing a camper in a truck bed vs a cooler is a lot different. I'll keep looking around. That quick release snap anchor might work.Thats just the leading brand name one in the RV world
They have china ones on amazon a bout half the price. I didnt sweat the price because ive learned my lesson. Just like the right tool makes a job smoother and faster. Not always having a "rigged" setup, just ends up being one less thing to fart around with in the exact moment you wouldnt want to.
If its too expense a standard harbor frieght turn buckle or whatever can be used with a "quick release snap anchor shackle". Its like a quick release d-ring without having to undo the turnbuckle and all-thread. Think like vice grips. Those are usually like 35 doll hairs for a set of 4.
then you have to unstrap it to get yourIs there a reason you can't just screw/weld 2 tabs and run a strap over it?
False. The reason is because people will think you are a peasant.then you have to unstrap it to get yourbeersoda.... unless you do as @StretchASU said and put the strap under the lid.
See the rzr 800 in the pic above with 2 ubolts and 5$ worth of cam strap....Is there a reason you can't just screw/weld 2 tabs and run a strap over it?
Looked at those. But, it'll be outside in the elements 24/7. Didnt want to risk it
Set the thermostat as low as you can w/o freezing anything (assuming you want refrigeration). Ours stays locked at 32F, no problems. The area where the cold plate is will ice up sometimes if the fridge has been opened a lot, but food is fine. Some people need to set it lower. There's no forced convection, so temp readout depends on the location of the temp probe and possibly what else (warm drink cans) is in the fridge.I recently bought a fridge/freezer cooler, got a 12/24/48/60/72 v to 12vdc converter off amazon, and hooked it up to a 60v dewalt battery and ran it that way. was very impressed. but also its very deceptive. completely packed with beer you cant set to 34F and call it good. I had to set it much much lower and then it really worked well.
