Cool box as a front seat.

kerny · 26 January 2012, 15:10

I'm looking at putting an igloo cool box or something similar in front of the consul to use as a front seat (suicide seat) and then getting a cushion made for the lid and sitting it on fixing brackets so it can be removed as and when required. Has anyone on here done this ? or got any pics of something similar. I've tried searching for any old threads on here but can't find anything.

Cheers,

Steve.

Buy an icey-tek instead, they come in pretty much any size and have decent cushions to measure as accessories.

As a cool box with the Aussie gel packs they are superb. Loads of commercial guys use them rigorously.

I have done it on my SR4 to make a back seat, worked well & I use it as some storage space!

Igloo (and others) sell cushions for their ice chests. In Igloo's case, the cushion snaps on via the male snaps on the lid.

Thanks for your reply's guys., the icey tek ones look a bit pricey

, but the igloo models are a bit more within my price range

I like your set up Nick, I can't make out the make on your pic but it looks ideal to me and the right colour too.

did you have the cushion made or did it come with it ?

Ta very much Billy

I will measure the front of the consul at the weekend, and if I have to get the smaller one, I can always get one made where hadd got his seats done at.

I need somewhere to keep my drin.. err, sandwiches nice and fresh for August

Steve if you go for the smaller one let me know as I think I will di the same as I think the 25qrt is big enough. If you dont mind giving me the contact for the cushion

This is the one I have Igloo Marine 72qt (68Ltr) Cooler Coldbox - Marine - IglooCoolers - Cooling - Outdoor Living
I bought the cushion to go with it, but the straps that popper on to the cooler come away very easily & I have had to repair them!
