    I keep an eye on JDPower, this one wasn't listed there though. I think I saw it on Cargurus. A S/C one would be amazing.

    This looks great! I bought these a month ago and was wondering how I would get them attached. Going to steal your idea.

    I tried (or am trying) to installed a Cali Raised molle panel on the left side of the bed. I watched their instructional video several times then had at it.

    But as you (hopefully) see in the pic, the panel sticks out about an inch on the bottom compared to the top. I would have thought the panels would be vertically parallel with the inside of the bed.

    Is this normal? Is this what it is supposed to look like? (See bottom of picture). #MeNoHappy #NoBueno

    It looks bent to be honest. I've had a set of those on my old truck. You can bend them kind of easy actually

    The three tabs along to top of the molle panel are bent slightly; it looks like they were designed that way. I'm half-tempted to use some kind of a bolt to attach the lower tabs to the bed.

    Do you think a Rivet-Nut would work on the composite bed?

    Maybe that would hold. I bet the sheet rock butterfly bolts would work

    Out of curiosity, have you tried swapping the panel to the other side, so the bend in the tab forces the bottom of the panel into the truck vs away?

    I did not have those issues. Maybe a quality issue from the manufacturer?

    No, but on the other side I have a set-up to mount my Hi-Jack jack. It would require some major disassembly to try, even temporarily, to install the Cali panel on that side, so it's not my first choice.

    I suppose if I get totally desperate I can try that but I first want to look at other options.

    I had a wire prepped, with a 5 amp fuse, to do the fog light anytime mod on my 2012, where you jump from the rear fuse box to the front one, but never got around to installing it so I used the wire today and did it on the 2008 where everything is in one fuse box. Simple. 5 minute job. Love having fogs on with no lights, running lights and hi/lo beam headlights. So simple and so useful. Now need to put together another one for the 2012.

    It helps if you have any old connectors in your shop, like light, radio or hvac car plugs, that you can pull the smaller blades out of. Need the small blade to push/jump into the power source.
