And at the other end of the cooler need chart.

I use this this one on our overlanding trips.

Pre-chilling is key along with the bottom layer being a single chunk of ice. I use a plastic shoe box and freeze it a week ahead of time.
Fits perfect.
Then pack about 10 sodas, few partly frozen Gatorade, and a few partly frozen waters, few partly frozen steaks. Some ham, cheese and few other small things.

At the end of 4 day adventure, I still have a decent chunk of ice. Floating around.

Poor bossman will regret his serious response in this thread before long…if he doesn’t already. 🤣😂

I’m kinda new to SXSing and was wondering
How big of a bag of ice can I run without a lift?
I’m worried about drinking warm beer. Thanks for the help.
🤦‍♂️......I hate when people get side tracked with non-sense answers to someone asking for real feed back.

OP, you can use a 10lb bag for an all day ride as long as you don't open and close the cooler more then once every HR.

PRO TIP: Do some reading/research on here regarding the under cooler lid heat shield mod. If you do that you can easily get away with using a 5lb bag.... 👍

And.......Pics or it didn't happen!!!

Thanks for the info, I did see the thread about the under lid bilge fan and I installed that.

For those of us that don't wear plastic shoes......🤔 can we use a regular shoe box?
