Brilliant! I bought a generic 20qt roto cooler with a metal handle but damn that thing gets heavy and awkward to carry. Looking for strap ideas. Thanks!
No problems buddy I hope it helps mine is holding up great and that strap is really nice the should pad is comfortable with the cooler loaded up and it's MOLLE compatible
Did you not notice that there's a hole in both sides of the handle (not far from where the handle attaches to the cooler)? You could easily run a shoulder strap through those holes and it would function flawlessly...while still having the ability to use the regular handle. Sorry to say, but this is a ridiculous modification considering there's already an easy way to attach a shoulder strap.
@@30hourreview I don't plan on it. The bigger question is why would anyone recommend that someone make this modification when it's entirely unnecessary? I have to assume you didn't notice the holes.
@@BacktotheOutdoors May not work for you but it works for me also it allows you lunch box to have a hard mount option for your vehicle so hard turning and braking don't even shake my cooler
@@30hourreview You're missing the point. There's no reason to remove the existing handle in order to install a shoulder strap. Pelican purposefully put holes in the handle so you could easily route a should strap through those holes. The modification you're recommending is pointless, and actually makes the cooler less functional. Do you honestly not understand this?
Love the idea I just ordered the cooler/ straps and hardware. Only question I had is how come you had to buy new screws? And not use the old ones or the ones or came in the hardware packet?
I'm trying to bring ice, drinks , and food to the jobsite which i have to walk for a couple of minutes. I feel it's gonna cause a lot of stress on that little bit of plastic it's hanging on to and break. How has it been working on you?
I pack mine with a few big ice packs about 3 drinks my bento box and a bag of snacks every day i live on the 3rd floor of my apartments so 3 flights of stairs fully loaded to the car and then to my shop table it working like a champ the screws are still tight there's no wobble
Nice job man, will check if I can do something similar to my Igloo cooler. Your cooler looks pretty cool and unique 😎👍
Thank you. Worked like a charm.
Glad it helped
Working on this project thanks 😊

Hey buddy have you tried opening your cooler while carrying it if you have tried you should know the handle blocks the lid from fully opening
Why couldn't use the original bolts, were they too short?
Wouldn't fit in the mloc adapter

The quick lock hardware in the kit was to small and the cooler hardware was to big to fit in the quick lock
for sure thanks man, looking forward to doing this diy only youtube video i have found on it@@30hourreview

A great idea Just ordered mine THANKS
Glad I could help
Why not just just get a flat d ring mount
You can do that if you want I wanted something I could quick disconnect for future stuff (make a truck/boat mount)
Look like you’re carrying a purse
"That's my purse!! I don't know you!!"
