My first cooler was similar and did exactly that(hit my head in tow) then I went to the one pictures and put them on both sides after removing the cooler handles ,worked great, till I found a buddy Jr. for 50.00

I probably will threw bolt them. I just haven't had time to pick some bolts up. The rods are really close to touching but weren't quite.

I hope to give it a trial run sometime next month if everything works out. I am looking forward to hopefully meeting some folks if they're there.

My next project. pier cart transformation. I will post pics. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...y?cm_vc=-10005
