How do you guys secure your Yeti coolers, in the bed of your Taco's?

Lock with cable lock through D ring in bed.

 

I wasted money on the yeti tiedown stuff on my atv/camping/hunting trailer and just use ratchet straps now cause it's easier. I don't think I will buy another yeti cooler since the grizzly coolers are a lot cheaper, also usa made, and can be opened while strapped down with a 3 dollar ratchet strap.

 

i can open mine while straped down.

the camping isle at walmart has the same damn straps as the "yeti" straps except theyre $5 not $50.

 

Can't complain, I've beat the living crap put of mine and it goes everywhere I go

 

Awesome pic...send that in!

 

You shold definitely send that picture in. Thats awesome!

 

No Sir

Can't afford a Tacamo and a Yeti Cooler:{

 

honestly I was dead set on the Yeti but after watching some you tube reviews of different coolers this morning I really really am starting to like the grizzly coolers. The features, colors are awesome.
I didn't think my mind could change but I think I might have.

 

Cooler-related question

1. Empty water daily since water causes remaining ice to melt sooner.
or
2. Don't empty water - you're pouring away "cold"

Opinions?

 

I always keep the water…always. Just my opinion but I have seen so many test on how the fastest way to cool beverages between (putting in fridge, putting in freezer, putting in a cooler/bucket full of ice, or putting it in a cooler/bucket full of ice with water) and the cooler with the water won every time. Just my $.02

but if you have water sensitive items I guess pouring it out makes sense. I am talking more about just drinks.

 

Thanks, that was when I finally decided to do the drive test on it

Theres a rock behind it I used to get up on the lid.
& it must be the pic that makes the tires look twisted different ways, that was silly ifs for you.. Ill get a new one for you guys one day when I get a smaller cooler (whatever brand) and put one up front and the other on the opposite side rear

I saw the Grizzly cooler at a place local to me and loved the tan/granite looking lid! But for some reason I haven't seen it anymore at that store, unsure of why but I liked it! Way I see it yetis have been out long enough for other companies to pretty much 100% replicate them with subtle differences as to not infrenge on yetis design so in a sense or imo they are all about the same, sure the "tests" may show the cheaper igloo one to hold ice longer but for me I like the durability aspect of yetis or other like brands which I never got with the cheaper coolers, either the hinges break or the handles etc. not having that with the yeti after 3 years or s with it now

 

Chain that down.

 

You guys think this will at least slow them down?

 

And this......

 

not so much

now we are talking

 

All together.....I'm gonna eventually order another bracket and run the chain/lock through it so I don't have to unlock it to get a bottle of h2o.

 

I just put in in the shell and lock it, no windows on my shell so low risk of break in. I use it for the dogs frozen raw food, and pack it with Dry Ice first. Keeps everything very frozen for days.

 

My wife thinks it's overkill BUT I would catch hell trying to replace it if it gets stolen. She is 7 months pregnant. Lol

 

Man this is a damn good question... I've always wanted to know

 

I have never gave it any thought as I've always dumped the water. But it makes since to leave it. I will give it a try for a while. Seems like the cold water with ice would cover more area of the beverage container than just ice would. Makes sense I guess.
