    About 25 pounds. Ideally I will mount it and have a drain hose, so not a whole lot of in and out. It is a beast though. I may order a 30 quart for smaller trips. The handles stick out a bunch but the thing is so bulletproof. I love the latches.

    Did you see where RTIC slashed their prices on their website?

    Edit: and they're all sold out

    Yeah those things are beefy and nice though. May get one eventually.

    Haha yeah, almost got a 20 for $90 but hesitated as it was 17 lbs dry for the smallest. Just couldn't justify lugging that around to the beach or to the lake. Was hoping their soft coolers would come back in stock as I'd love one of those.

    Who has wet okole seat covers and have experience with them being too hot in the summer? I'm in Florida and I know neoprene doesn't breathe too well but the leather is hot as shit when I get in the truck. Wife doesn't want to wear her shorts and get in either. Says the back of her legs sweat. Is wet okole a good answer?

    Love my wet okole's. Have black and chad oak and they aren't overly hot by any means. Being dark, they do draw in a lot of heat but they aren't hot to the touch like leather. I'm just starting to notice a tiny bit of wear and I've been running them close to two years. When these get too bad, I'll order new ones with no hesitation

    Apparently someone stole 4 lug nuts off the front driverside wheel. Moron brother thought it was Okay to drive. Wheel came off. Fender is fucked up. Wheel is fucked up. Studs are sheared.

    You only had two lugnuts on and drove it? :eek: Why not steal one from the other 3 wheels, so you're rocking 5 lugs on each wheel?

    I didn't drive it. I'm visiting my girlfriend at school and took my moms car for MPGs. Don't think whomever stole it cared where they took it from.

    Brother is not mechanically inclined and has no common sense about vehicles. Why he thought it was a good idea, I have no fucking clue

    Oh whoops. I meant why don't you steal one from each wheel to safely drive, but I gotcha now. That's mega shitty that that happened.

    Wtf...

    So your brother drove your 4Runner when he knew there was only two lug nuts on? I honestly would have never known cause I don't go out of my way to check if lug nuts are on or not.....

    I don't either but he saw this. He knew there were 4 missing.

    I don't think I'd look for it but I think seeing 4 missing lug nuts would be somewhat of a red flag enough to catch my eye

    I'd just play dumb and file an insurance claim. Noticing something like that is pretty unlikely.

    Not sure how you'd prove 4 were stolen though
