Yeah they are a pod/antenna mount. Can see them here kinda.

I'll start a list for the minden run if you don't mind a few others coming down.

 

Called them last week and just got my refund today. Was worth a shot on the cooler.

Also keep an eye on yeti coolers. Apparently they over produced and are dropping prices on some of their stock.

 

I agree it was worth a shot lol
Are Yeti will be droping the prices for Canada too? sometime company seems to be forgetting us lol I also wouldn't pay much more than 150$ for a cooler since I don't not camp like crazy and never really leave for more than 4 days... but will keep an eye open, we never know!

 

Can't say for sure on the yeti's. I'm in the same boat for price. Maybe even less. Lol

 

lol at 150 it as to be a hell of a deal! or like 100qt cooler hahaha. I have a 50-54 qt coleman and I cut a piece of extruded foam and I put it right under the lid. makes a real great job to keep ice!

 

Yes it does, I have the charger somewhere too.

 

I did it stock with 31's in the fall and used my factory skids quite a bit. You'd be fine.

 

ya sure go for it.

and are those these?

fuck yeti's they're ridiculously expensive.
If you can get the Woods one on sale grab it. I managed to get mine off someone on kijiji for $150, but even at the sale price they keep running them for of $259 its a great deal. I've used it for my sisters bridal shower a few weekends ago, after left the ice in it just to see how long it lasted. It was pre chilled on saturday and then filled with four large ice packs and ice around 2PM on sunday, thursday around 6PM checked it (checked each day) and all the ice was finally melted and the ice packs were getting softer, but still ice cold. Again this past weekend at the girlfriends trailer. filled with same ice packs friday night just to bring the food up as last time we went up without a cooler food was pretty warm by the time we got there. After we took the food out and put it in the fridge cooler stayed in the bed of my truck in the sun under the tonneau cover. Sunday night when I got home and emptied it around 10PM all ice packs were still rock solid. Seriously for the difference in price I don't see a difference in performance. And Woods actually says its supposed to keep ice for 14 days vs Yeti usually only saying 7 days.

Before I decided on it and managed to find the great deal I got I watched a bunch of comparison videos of the Yeti 50qt vs the Coleman Xtreme 100 can (think its around 70qt) one full bag of ice, yeti only made it one day longer (four days) compared to the Coleman. And the coleman is only $79

you're talking about ardbeg right? cause my 3rd gen is still stock height just one size up tires and then armour and breathers for now. Until I get some more money to get the lift. Just need my UCAs and leafs.

 

Ya, the trail going around the lake in ardbeg. My 3rd gen was stock when I did it then, just had 31's, stock skids and breathers. A lift will make that trail a lot easier though. I have bilstein 6112's and 5160's with a 3 leaf aal, and spc uca's now. It rides really nice as a daily driver.

 

I've got fox 2.5 extend travel already, just waiting on some money from the government to finish with the lift. Still need my total chaos UCAs and dakar leafs.

 

Wow, sounds like you've got a nice build in mind. You plan on running a lot of weight with the dakar's?

 

nope. getting the medium load ones which are basically the same as factory. Don't need the 600lb constant load ones. I dont have enough weight in the bed. Most of the camping gear I use is the same stuff I use for backpack camping so its all light weight. Kitchen, water, cooler and recovery gear are probably the heaviest stuff I carry. And even then it shouldn't be too much. Figure around 400lbs for everything excluding tent + tarp, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag, can't weight more than 35lbs in the plano tote I keep it in. And the sleeping pad is probably the heaviest since its a double that I have no problem using since its in the bed. If I was backpacking I just go to my single one that's much lighter.

Its all in my build thread in my signature.

 

can't find the oroginal post about price but I think i know what one you're talking about haha. I saw that one the other day on Amazon. It was for a yeti though and was like $120 + free shipping.

Just a tip check who the seller is and how long they've been on there and feedback. Its similar to how Ebay does it. Good way to catch if its fake is it will be a brand new market and have no reviews.

And for rotomoulded if you guys are interested I found this site (based in misssauga) for pelican ones.
Decent prices better than retail. But still like I posted to Peter above about the woods ones. They're great and I'm very impressed with the quality. I was at MEC the other day picking up some stuff and looked at the yeti's and I see no difference in build quality vs the woods and they're still $200-300 more.

 

quick search on kijiji.

I saw those woods and was wondering if they were godd. I also saw that the cabelas one is pretty good too! Overall price and some feature. But as I stated I am not ready to go rotomolded yet. I might give a try to the big Igloo one at canadian tire when it goes in sale tho

 

For what it's worth the coleman xtreme that's $79.99 100can cooler has tons of reviews against the Yeti and it's not far off

 

I have that mount on the passenger side. The double mount isn't on their site yet I don't think. Thanks for the heads up on the coolers.

I ran arbdeg stock with full skids and sliders. Just have to choose your lines.

 

Ya I just talked to Nathan on FB said to keep on him about the mounts but they'll need to make some soon. So I'll be ordering from them

 

This is the Coleman I was talking about.
