Single Axle for Yeti Tundra 35-160

Almost gave this 4 stars due to price, but no one forced me to buy these wheels, so 5 stars for a product that both filled a need AND is super impressive in its quality. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to dock these Badger wheels a star because of cost when they are going on a YETI cooler? That's like complaining about the price of a soda at the 5 star Hotel you're staying at. And really, let's face it, who among us needs a ~$400 cooler? We have choices and we chose Yeti...accessories are gonna cost us. Now, about these wheels. I'm a female and even though I consider myself fairly "strong". An empty Yeti 50 is heavy enough, and with ice and drinks, I gotta have help carrying it. The rubber feet make pushing it difficult as well, so wheels are a godsend. I was happy to find they even existed. The Badger wheels were promptly shipped and immediately upon unpacking, I could see this was a quality product. The packaging was top notch down to heavy duty the zipper bags holding the parts and instructions. Clearly they want to mimic Yeti's quality reputation/standards. They even included a couple of stickers (which I trashed). I am adding some photos, so you can see the quality of the product closer up. It's quite beefy and made of heavy guage stainless and the welds are clearly quality. I can't see how anyone could complain about the quality of this unit, unless of course, you were unfortunate to have gotten one of the undoubtedly few "lemons". The instructions were printed on thick stock in large, clear letters with photos and descriptions and came with the only necessary tool, an allen wrench. It took about 15 minutes to unpack, read the instruction and do the install. Very simple. I added a photo to show how the axle pegs insert into the hole in the Yeti's rubber feet. Another photo shows how the axle slides out to fit your cooler size. The markings are very clear and intuitive. I installed the tie down and it fit perfectly. Not sure I will ever use it, but it's there just in case. YOu can see it on the photo with the rope handle. I also installed the wheels opposite the drain. My only "complaint" is the cooler is far from level. I posted a photo to show the angle. I didn't even think of that when purchasing these. I guess an option is to remove the wheels when you reach your destination, but doubt I'll go that route. I am thinking I'll just make some sort of shim, which I'll store to level it out when it's being used. Easy enough. I'll just store it inside the cooler when it's not in use. I haven't pulled it across grass or uneven ground, other than flagstone, but have no doubt it will perform wonderfully. I'd buy these again if I ever were to get another Yeti. Great product.

These wheels make moving a Yeti 125 much easier! I didn't like how the cooler sat lopsided, so I bought another axle from my brother in law. He said the wheels were not ideal for the Yeti 45 he has. He would still have to bend down to pull it because the cooler is so small. We heard the reviews on the extended handle weren't good. Plus it looked kinda chincy. It's great how the wheels aren't screwed into the cooler. I have the smaller wheels and they are great. You just lift the front wheels off the ground if you need to turn the cooler. I have only used them to wheel in and out of the garage so far. They don't pop off easily because you have to unscrew a screw at the top that keeps the axle attached to the cooler. Good because they won't slip off, but you can't take them off after moving the cooler to where you want it; hence, the need for a second axle to level it out. They are a superior quality and material. Greatly overpriced, but necessary for the larger coolers. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

I own a Yeti Tundra 75 and have been looking for someone to design a simple to use wheel system that can be easily attached to the cooler for times when I need to move a fully loaded cooler over some distance by myself. The cooler alone is 34lbs and can hold up to 66lbs of ice. Once you start loading this cooler down with wild game, drinks, etc. it can easily reach a weight of over 100lbs which is not much fun to lug around long distances when by yourself. I purchased the single axle Badger wheel system, and have to say this is a solid and easy to use add-on wheel system that gave me exactly what I was looking for to help move a fully involved cooler around by myself. The parts are very much high quality and should last for a very long time. You can add or remove the wheel system in less than a minute with very little hassle. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to make moving a loaded down large Yeti Tundra cooler much more manageable. I plan to purchase two more single axle systems for family members who own Yeti Tundra 75 and Yeti Tundra 125 coolers. They are going to love the Badger Wheel system!

Very well made. It pressure fits to the cooler, so be careful if you bump the unit while lifting the cooler off the ground, as the whole unit can (and will) fall off. A couple guys unfamiliar with the badger product lifted my cooler into the boat and the whole badger unit fell off into ocean. The deckhand dove down 15 feet and got them (he received a good tip). A very good product overall.

Great quality - high price, but justifiable - very well made, would have to say the wheels are definitely worth it (if you can justify the price for your needs). Works well with the RTIC Ultra Light 52 clearance is close, but not a problem with the rigidity and precision fit of the wheelset. Highly recommended.

I have two sets, one as a gift and now one that I bought, using just one looks dumb, and with two sets its not worth the costs. I will never buy this again and probably look to some competition that gives you the quality for the buck.

These are awesome. More for hard ground than soft sand. Wish it had hot swappable wheels, so I could swap my wheel eez wheels when going offroad, but it's good for normal stuff. My yeti is a heavy mofo when packed to the brim. This is a life/arm saver. It still pulls on the sand, but the wheels at being dragged vs helping. Where as the wheel eez wheels I use on my kayak make even dragging thing through sinking mud easy. Badger, hook up some hot swappable balloon wheels or partner up w/ wheeleez. When you make a ton of money just send me some royalty checks!

Solid set up. Quality materials (steel, tires, etc...). Unexpected bonus: The part that is used in locking/securing the device to "whatever" you want (truck, boat, etc.), also doubles as a bottle opener. :). The only thing I would suggest for people to take into consideration is that when the wheels get added to your cooler, it add's 3-4 inches to the height of the cooler. Consider this when you consider where you store the cooler, and how the cooler is used.
