Here is the link for that cooler Jake. You can get it in any color and your choice of 20 or 40 qt coolers.

Your welcome. I am really happy with the coolers I have got from them. Very well built.
Yes they do and I really like the look. I currently have a 20 qt RTIC which I've been happy with, but I think I'd like 40 qt and I'm all about the olive drab color and jeep debossed lid! Thinking I may get me one for both my Jeeps! Thanks again man!
The minute I saw the pic of that cooler, I just knew you were going to be all over it Jake.

All this talk about these new fancy (expensive) coolers!
I just got over a week out my my old-fashioned Coleman metal sided cooler:
https://www.coleman.com/54-quart-coleman-stainless-steel-cooler/6155B707.html?cgid=coleman-coolersandwaterjugs-hardcoolers
The cooler sat in the back of my truck for the drive up to the mountains, through 105 degrees on Saturday. Then it sat outside at camp under the trees for a week, with temperatures in the 80's all week. It was a "wilderness" camp- no ice resupplies. The cooler was opened several times a day to obtain cold sodas and replace with warm cans to be chilled. Next Saturday it went back in the bed of my truck again through 100 degrees. On Sunday at home, when I finally unloaded it, it still had ice cold drinks!! The ice was "slush" with plenty to still keep it cold!
If you see my pics on the Corral Hollow Trail thread, you'll see this cooler in the back of my truck- and the boys drinking ice cold sodas at the overlook. This was on Saturday, the 7th day of our trip.
"How is this possible?" you say.
I used a combination of "Dry Ice" and regular ice. One block of dry ice on the bottom, covered with cube ice. Then the drinks/food etc.. go on top. If you want frozen food, put the food/ice in first, then the dry ice on top. You could keep ice cream frozen this way.
Caution: Play with the ratios of dry ice to regular ice to fit your climate and cooling demands. The first time I tried this, I got frozen eggs.
Oh, and I never drained off the melted ice water. Ice water is still "icy," and if you drain it off unnecessarily- you lose all the coldness! Only drain water when adding ice, and/or the water threatens to spoil non-waterproof food.

I like RTIC. https://www.rticcoolers.com/ . Similar to a YETI. I know Ozark Trail now makes a version as well that are available at Walmart. I still just use a Coleman and it works well for me. If I was to replace it I'd probably get an RTIC. We have one of their cups and it works well at keeping drinks cold or hot.
Hey, Braapzakk - Cool! I just bought a 40 qt grizzly embossed - Jeep edition cooler in olive drab - http://bit.ly/2vQ8ouq - and also bought a folding cutting board divider for the 40 Qt cooler - http://bit.ly/2uqm6DR - am so pumped and it looks really cool!
Nice someone in my jeep club has one with the jeep logo on it too. They look really nice!
I'm trying to decide between the Grizzly, RTIC or a KONG. Kind of annoying no one uses a standard sizing format. Looking at total interior dimensions seems to be the safest bet. If the company doesn't list the interior dimensions, I'm not bothering with them.

Since this is the cooler thread... I like to pack my meat, cheese, and eggs in their own cooler. I freeze the meat and place multiple ice packs around it so everything is cold but dry. I'm currently using a Coleman 8 quart, simply because that's what I had on hand, but I would like to upgrade to something that will stay cold longer. I don't really need any more room inside, but additional insulation and a better-sealing lid would be awesome. Anyone know of anything in that size range?

Had a friend make me a thermal bag for my cooler...or as we called them "Esky"
