Tacoma Owners: We Need Your Feedback on Our Upgraded Rear Seat MOLLE Panel! (Version 2)

Hey Tacoma community,

Big thanks to everyone who shared insights on our first design! Your feedback helped us refine the Tacoma Rear Seat Roof MOLLE Panel—now with a key upgrade to make storage more practical and passenger-friendly.

The Struggle Is Real:

• The Tacoma’s tight rear seat leaves little room for gear.
• Essentials (first-aid kits, tools, recovery gear) end up loose or buried.
• Sacrificing passenger comfort for storage isn’t a solution.

What’s New in Version 2:

Rear Passenger-Centric Design:

• Tilts downward 60° from the roof (hydraulic rod-supported) toward the tailgate, so rear passengers stay undisturbed.
• Grab gear easily without leaning over seats or blocking legroom.

Quick Install & Secure Storage:

• Fits 1-inch headliner systems—no drilling, just plug-and-play.
• MOLLE webbing keeps gear organized and locked in (even off-road).

Built for Safety:

• Spring bolt locks prevent accidental openings.
• Reinforced edges + reflective strips for durability and nighttime visibility.

Your Turn:
We’re this close to finalizing the design, but need your input:

1. Does the downward tilt improve usability?
2. What gear would you mount here?
3. What would stop you from buying it?

Your ideas drive our products—thanks for helping us get it right!

 

Putting a sharp edge on the side facing the rear passenger would probably make for a cleaner kill.

This looks crazy risky. There's generally a reason manufacturers don't put heavy metal objects above people's head.

 

Yeah what’s the weight rating on something like this with a “no drill” install, and how did that weight rating get established?
