So i didn’t see this before hand but the side panels require 3 holes to be drilled into the bed side. You will then install 3 press in nutcerts. It says to use a tool which I don’t currently have. Going to search the net and see if i can just press in (punch and hammer) or If the tool is absolutely needed.

plus it is fixing to rain.. will come back to this.

Ok so there is a manual method of install. RC provides the necessary bolt and coupler to get the nutserts to seat with out the tool.

So i goofed this one under the bed light. The tie down is behind the bed wall, i had to drill through that too. Not a big deal but the nursert is for sheet metal, it didn’t seat due to the extra material.

i just used a bolt, no biggie. If you do these just make sure to orient the bracket so that it is flush and not on top of the tie down, i should have rotated it 90*.

all 3 panels in. Traction boards mounted. tonneau back on. It is a Tyger tonneau, i had to trim about 1,5 inches off of the mounting levers so it could clear the molle panel.

I have a set of blue traction boards in my cart right now, too. Where did you get yours from?

Cleaning out the bed liner

What did you use to clean out the holes? I have the same issue with mine. Thanks

It’s a thread tap, you can get a little set at most home improvement or automotive stores.

i don’t remember the size, i’ll see if i can find it.

Thanks! i just purchased the same Rough Country molle panel kit and was debating on installing it myself or having it done. Also i haven't seen any post of it but im assuming the Mopar utility rails will fit over the molle panel brackets.
