    Has anyone seen or made a molle panel that fits between the seats of an access cab? I'm not really wanting to rip out the seats and put in a huge panel. I don't need much and I think it would look cleaner without doing that. Would love to see what others have done/seen.

    This is a great idea. I'm interested to see where this goes.

    I like that idea. Through searching on this forum I saw someone post about blue ridge overland gear and they have a cloth panel like that one. I though about installing that with a few snaps (like from clothing but heavier duty). I'm just wondering how it would hold up with some weight on it or if it would fall off on occasion.

    You may be able to get a Velcro backing the same size as the molle panel and gonthat route. That may be the best solution for heavier objects. Snaps may come undone or wear over time. Plus those would require riveting or drilling into the panel.

    You think a full size Velcro backing would hold up? Hmm. I may have to just try it and see. I don't mind drilling and attaching some snap rivets.

    FYI I have a small compressor in a bag, I'd add a small med kit, flashlights, a bag full of tie downs and ratchet straps, etc. the thing may be carrying 30+ lbs when it's all loaded up. I was going to put my fire extinguisher on there but I bought one of those bracketeer mounts for the front seat. Thanks to Amazon prime I'll have it within the next 6 hours!

    I have a hard plastic Molle panel mounted with rivet nuts and 1/2" spacers in my access cab. It is made by Grayman Tactical. I will post a photo when I get home to the truck.

    I like those. Would make it easy to remove as an entire unit too. That seems stronger than snap rivets too.

    Since you're the second to throw that name out, I had to look them up. I like that they have so many sizes and that it is a rigid panel. I think mounting it with snaps or something like @over60 posted, would be perfect.
