    Which size is that? I just purchased the 65 because I saw on the website picture that there are handles you could use to ratchet strap the cooler down to the bed, but I don't see them on yours!

    I'm talking about solid handles to attach a ratchet strap too like they showed in this picture.
    IMG_0422.jpg Hopefully I can cancel my order since that's a deal breaker for me.

    I guess I shouldn't say handles, but slots you could run a ratchet strap around. Here's a better picture. I want them so I can secure it down to d-rings in the bed and open the lid without undoing a strap.

    Yeah to each there own I guess. In the pic what you think is a slot I believe is part of the rope handle. They have rubber feet on the bottom to eliminate sliding.

    Iced down and ready to live in the bed of my truck!

    Here's a pic of the rubber latch catches that I'm concerned about.

    I'll update with its ice retention ability

    I put 20 lbs of ice in it but it could have held 30lbs.

    You can see in my third pic of the handle that it attaches to the cooler differently than what's pictured on Frostys web site. Instead of the rope handle running through holes in the cooler it is retained by 2 metal pins.

    You can see the heads of the pins in the picture.

    very weird, interested in how they hold up

    edit: especially when using a ratchet strap to hold the cooler down
