I picked up some reflective tape at Lowes that should be ideal to make a cooler rack stand out. The package contains 4 6&quot; strips (two red and 2 silver). I will place the two red strips on the back 16&quot; wide lip of the Rivco aluminum rack and one of the silver strips on each 11&quot; side. The cost was about $5. Just a thought...

i just ordered one of the rivco cooler racks from niehaus cycle sales. i like the way once you remove the ball it stays attached for quick set up and release. has that chrome look also. now i need to get some of that dot reflective tape.

thanks, vance in ga.

I made a reciever hitch rack for a cooler, also have used it as a package rack on our 1500.

Got myself to Lowe's and bought a 4' piece of 1 1/4" outside diameter square tube, some 1/8" X 1" flat stock and that 1/8" steel angle iron with the holes in it. Made a frame that fits the bottom of the cooler, braced it corner to corner in an X pattern with 1/8" flat stock (length depends on your cooler size). I don't have a welder, so I used bolts for the corners. Got it situated where I wanted it and used a set of those square U bolts to attach the platform to the drawbar tube, drilled the hole in the drawbar for the hitch pin I had around and painted the thing black. The cooler is held on with 2 bungee cords connected to the holes in the angle iron front to back over the top of the cooler. Works like a charm, the cooler is very secure with tight bungees. Only problem I can see is that the licence plate is covered by the cooler, but haven't had any problem since I made the thing last winter.

Here is a link to one by Rivco - I didn't use the expanded steel screen for the bottom (I'm thinking of changing mine to the screen for a package rack) and mine cost about 1/4 the price.
