Bed Molle Comparisons? Pros & cons.

If I need to bolt anything to my bedfront MOLLE panel, I use a box end wrench with a piece of electric tape on the back of the wrench. The tape will retain the nut and also prevent it from pushing through the back.

The slight gooseneck of the box end wrench should allow you to fit it through the MOLLE holes from the front to facilitate placing it onto the bolt threads on the rear. Once the nut has captured a few threads of the bolt, you should be able to tighten fully. Sometimes though the gooseneck of the wrench will not allow it to stay seated to tighten fully. You can then use an open end wrench with no gooseneck and drop it behind the panel down from the top to grab the nut and then tighten fully. There’s a good chance you’ll drop the wrench behind the panel once or twice though with so little room to manipulate it through the MOLLE holes, so you may want to have a little extending retrieval magnet handy to fish it out if need be.

 

Thoughts on BuiltRight Molle bed system?

 

expensive.

 

Fitment is perfect with stock bolts, solid construction, great brand with mounting accessories. It's pricier than some but you get what you pay for.

 

Anybody using the BuiltRight with a tonneau cover such as the Lomax cover I have? Just curious if the mounts that are behind the rail will work or push it out too far making the tonneau cover not work.

 

used to run it with my OEM tonneau cover had no issues, the Builtright mounted behind the bed rails. Not sure how lo max works I would presume it’s the same system.

 

My Victory 4x4 molle system mounts behind the bed rails; no issues with a tonneau cover. I would assume built right works as well.

 

It is behind but the Lomax cover has mounts that mount into the rail system so I am wondering if shifting that out will be a problem but I may just reach out to them and update all.

 

This! This is what I didn’t know and solves my problem. I’ve been looking at Molle panels for my truck bed, and narrowed down to the Victory 4x4 panels because they have the clearance cut-out for my OEM bed lights. I also wanted both sides but i have a newer model year and the driver side doesn’t have a cubby to be able to use the mounting points. This solves all of that! Damn….the forum search function works.

 

Has anyone ever mounted a Toyota 4runner-style molle panel on an arb camper shell? There should be something similar to this for arb camper shells... https://prinsu.com/product/prinsu-5th-gen-4runner-external-molle-panel/
