Installed my driver side yesterday, working on the passenger side today. LineX did me no favors by spraying my tie-downs and the rubber grommets. This install would be super easy if I didn't have to cut around all the LineX to remove the tie-downs and grommets.

Installed the passenger side today. I have most of the off-road equipment ready to install, but I’m waiting on some parts to help with mounting on the MAPS panels. Also, RotoPax finally got their FuelPax back in stock.

I plan on installing something of this nature on the back side of my storage pods on each side. It will be attached to rails so with the tail gate up I can pull the whole panel out the back and retrieve items. (more or less like any truck bed drawer roll out system)

I just don't know if I can bring myself to pay pre-fab prices or make my own molle panels from simple pieces of 1" wide steel flat bar.

A lot of places sell universal MOLLE/PALS panels in square or rectangle shapes. You could mount one or more to whatever drawer mechanism you build.

Not sure if you have ever heard of 80/20 building materials. Amazing stuff that is the erector set of the age. We use it all the time for many different projects. I made a corner mount adjustable stand for my 65” TV. Tilts, swings flat against ether wall adjacent. They have slides, hinges, corners you name it.

Yes. Actually I used quite a few 80/20 brackets on my platform build. However I used them in a little unconventional way with standard raw materials and nuts/bolts.

Search around on the web how people use it. The creativity is mind blowing. Sliding bins, gas shock locking panels. It’s limitless. The holes in the end of extrusion material is sized to tap with 1/4-20 thread. That allows bolt together structures. We run compressed air through some of or projects through the same hole.

I’ve got as ARE shell and the mounts will make it difficult to add either brand panel without cutting it. At least I think it will.

Installed the Valhalla Molle panel for the driver's side. Fitment is great. I used Quick Fist clamps to secure the Wavian gas can and Swiss army axe; the med-kit is held by a carabiner. Drove the truck over the most uneven sections of road I could find and zero rattle or shift from the mounted components.
