Cooler on the shelf

Has anyone found the perfect cooler to mount to the shelf?

This last weekend I picked up a 20Q cooler. Almost fits perfectly between the two L brackets that hold the legs from over extending. I did find I had to remove the rubber holder at the top to provide a more flush position. I’m thinking about using Velcro to hold the shelf closed when not in use instead of the rubber holder. I used two criss cross straps to hold the shelf on.

I did find one isssue, it looks like my hinge is cracking.

Yikes! I'll have to check mine when I'm back home...
My Rtic 20-can soft-sided cooler is big enough for my purposes, not giant, footprint smaller than the shelf, shorter than the latch.
Even loaded, a single ROK strap through the loops of the cooler hold it in place nicely.
One a LOT bigger would fit there, but I don't need it. Yet, anyway :P
 
I bit the bullet (buy once, cry once, right?) and bought the Oyster cooler, which, with the included 2 chill packs, can hold 36 cans and, per reviews, hold that chill for multiple days. No extra ice required, just put the two packs at the bottom and allow them to chill the cooler, which is designed to be a Thermos-sealed/vacuum wall/floor/top unit.

Will it work as promised? Stay tuned!!
