Cooler and storage for the Maverick

I have been trying to figure out what I'm going to use. I would like a hard type cooler that's divided. That way you would have storage and a cooler in one box. I also want it to strap down by the side handles so I wouldn't have to unstrap it every time I stop to take a break.

I don't really want a soft bag with zippers. I haven't had any luck with them at all. Sooooo help a midget out...suggestions please.

I don't see anything like that except one and it's about $400. Maybe you could take two smaller ones and band them together and then strap them down.

I know it can be a slight pain, but are you sure you don't want something that will strap down holding the lid closed? If you laying the SxS over, you are going to have snacks and tasty beverages everywhere!  We have not met and everything I am reading here indicates you have a very low center of gravity, but things happen!

BadoleRoss...I don't turn over...get stuck...or break down on the trails. Never have and never will. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!   As you said,we've never met ...but ask anyone. They will tell ya about ol' RayRay.....on second thought.....don't do that.  Anyway.................

I'm just trying to figure out a way to carry one box for everything. I may get a mini Bubba box for my trail stuff and put my cooler in it also.

Happy Tuesday ya'll!!

Boy Ol' boy Ray Ray --- your asking for it now.

Do a search for mermite military cooler. Mine has never came open or got tore up, they hold about 18 beers and ice.

May want to think about this slightly different. I purchased one of these 'North Coast Outdoor Rigid Rear Cargo Box' and through bolted it to the aluminum JBS heat shield I have on the back of mine. I put adhesive heat shield on the bottom of the box and use it for tools then throw a soft side in there as a cooler. I agree it can be difficult to find a soft side with zippers worth a damn. I offshore fished for 15 years or so and the saltwater would show you whether you had junk zippers or not after a single trip. You could insulate a portion of this box fairly easy also.

I will haul your beer.  It's safe with me.

Hump...I changed over from BUD-LITE to grape Kool-Aid.....love me some Kool Aid and I ain't trusting nobody with my grape kool aid!  Datz da truff!

On one side I have a Rubbermaid Action Packer...the medium sized one and on the other is an igloo cooler. Got them both from Kmart. I have that ATV net James hooked me up with that I hook across the top to keep the lid closed and of course to help hold them. I run a bungee across the back of them and thats it. They are tightly strapped down and if I want a drink I just unhook that net at the side and grab a drink.

Hope this helps. You can probably see my setup in some of our riding pics.

May maybe you can posts close up of your setup Tbone.

I will.

I will haul your kool aid. It is safe with me.

Which rear spare mount/bumper assembly is that I see in your avatar? I have been considering one.

It's the BRP one. I like the looks of it but as far as hauling a cooler and storage tore, it's a pain in the butt. You def have to work around it. I'm ok with it now but at first it was a pain getting used to it. I know I will appreciate it if I lose a tire and need a spare

Have you seen this cooler? It don't look very big but might save you some room in the bed and you can keep your Kool Aid within reach while your driving.

Cale...I think that fit's the Max 4 seater. Great idea though.  I think I am going with this one if it will fit. It's 37 inches long so I don't know if there will be enough room between the fenders for it to fit. It straps on the sides so that I can access it very easy. Cooler will go in it and my other trail stuff also. Plus it's water proof.

Yup, your right I didn't catch that it said it was for the max 4.

Here is my set up. I was going to use a big box I saw at tractor supply but then wouldn't have anywhere for a cooler. You can set the cooler long ways and two of those action packers long ways or just side ways like I have done here. I didn't hook up the net or bungee but you get the idea.

Thanks T-bisquit...If I did it your way I could use a bigger cooler....More KOOL AID for me!

Well I did have a smaller cooler but wanted a bigger one for food and multiple drinks for the family so I upgraded to that one. It has enough room for at least 24 cans.

Hope this helps and good luck.
