Need Some Packout Feedback

Anyone seen a blank, protective cover for the PO bases for when nekkid? The tabs seem a bit vulnerable to me.

I bet @-Bear- could make one in a hurry!

I make several versions from 10 gauge steel

But then I'd never want to take it off!

Snap-on covers?

It would be nice to have a blank cover to protect the PO base plates for when you wanna run without boxes.
Something that snaps in like the boxes, but doesn't cover the metal rods used for attaching bungees or whatever.

Only thing close that I saw was on Etsy, and not really what I was after. Anyone seen anything?

I bought some pack out “feet” off Amazon. I plan to make a plywood cover with router edges to go on when flat surface is needed. Just hasn’t bubbled to the top of my to do list

Surprised there aren't blank plates on the market.

Lounging on the couch watching Netfix (wife is asleep clutching the remote but there is no chance of prying it out of her hand) looking for a picture I thought I saw of packout boxes in the back of @futzin p5.
And this pops up.

Just as a general observation, I noticed several people have the 16 Qt cooler.
That's the size I ordered (didn't find one locally).
Then I noticed @futzin has a 40 Qt cooler.
So, how many more cans will fit?

 

[futzin]

Lots, but haven't quantified. 🙂
The large cooler will be nice for both drinks and cold food for two on a long ride. There's a nice center divider.
The small cooler will likely suffice much of the time for most.

I have the small cooler (thanks KyGal!) but haven't deflowered it yet...
