    I know our forum has done this in the past and I’ve contacted Orion about doing another. Before they consider, how many members who be interested in purchasing a discounted blemish cooler? You’d have to be open to any size and color as it was explained to me they don’t intentionally (duh) try to make blemish models but they do happen. All blemish models still carry factory warranty.

    If you’re open to these conditions, please let me know so I can get a head count to Orion for their consideration.

    Longer list than the wife needs to know about....
    I've been eyeing one of these, but the part about not being able to pick the size turns me off.
    I have nothing against the blemished discount tho.
    Maybe this would be better suited to get a custom "Tundras" cooler made we've already got the logos... then see how many guys would buy in.

    I get where your coming from and tend to agree. There answer is always no until you ask, right? I’m willing to purpose any idea to Orion. The worst they can say is no. One thing the gentlemen said we have to be careful of, is we don’t piss off any of their retailers but I think by adding a customized Tundra logo or something similar gets us in the comfort zone for them.

    That I don’t know. However, the last time Orion did this for our forum it was a 25% discount. Not saying they’ll do that again but!!! It’ll also probably depend how many members want to participate. So can I count you for at least one and maybe two?

    Just a quick update. According to Orion’s website, for customized logoed producers, the minimum order is 10. So, I’d like to try and get at least that as a starting point before going back to the Orion rep.

    I'd be in for a custom cooler.
    I imagine we would need to get permission from the Tundras admins to use the Tundras.com logo.
    Also not opposed to the blemish / random color, just want to be able to pick an available size.

    I got mine on the first group buy. @Eclipsed & Floating ran the group buy. These coolers are awesome. The blemishes weren't bad at all. Most of them just had a lack of color or a weird color pattern. But they did give us a list of available colors and sizes. It's kind of hard to commit to one of these if you don't know what size you're getting.

    I need a small-ish one for day trips. So, size matters. :anonymous:

    I get where everyone is coming from on the size thing. Once we hit the ten threshold, I’ll circle back with everyone on the size they want, get permission from admins on using the logo, THEN I’ll throw it to Orion and we’ll see what they say.

    If you’re able to pick your size, can I count you as a go?
