    Like the metal panel itself?

    Plenty of people cut them out on their CNC.

    There's plenty available on the market as well just depending on the area you're trying to mount it to.

    Appreciate the hasty response. Just trying to mount hi lift jack and traction boards and a jerry can. I don't have access to cnc. Just trying to see what others have done.

    factory bed lighting and tonneau cover

    appreciate the input.

    The portion closest to the cab is a spot where a lot of people mount traction boards and the like. I'm no 2nd or 3rd Gen owner but they do sell what you're trying to do.

    I don't know how that tonneau cover might affect things though cause I believe one of those setups uses the factory rail.

    I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll have to make some adjustments as I see fit. I appreciate input and advice from those who have much more experience than I do.

    Cover or not nothing is safe from Northern Maine Golden road dust.

    That's the factory rail I'm referring to

    Appreciate it. I'll have to do some more research on my end.

    i over-diy'd my molle panels.

    my goal from the beginning is to never use them as molle panels. my intent was to add full-length lighting, and offer infinite light-duty tiedown points for whatever i use the truck for in the moment. i get really tired of having 4-6 specific tiedown points that never line up with the cargo i need to secure.

    i started off with the ultra-cheap 'hooke road' 6ft 2-piece panels, i welded the center seam so i didn't need their bolt package, added my own aluminum lighting channel in the top molle holes, and then did spray-on bedliner across the entire thing to hide my alterations.

    eventually, i'll add a front panel as well, but most mounting will intrude into my planned roll bar mounting points, so i need to get that done first...
