Killer! Thanks guys! For those of you that have ordered kits, if I end up doing a custom contoured kit, I'll very happily do an exchange for them.

Oh yea, forgot to address this. Yes! These are a pretty standard MOLLE attachment, as are the 'web dominators' that we use on the same panels. You can buy them just about anywhere online. They're really slick.
Grimloc D-rings for molle.

Love this idea- looks like you have the cloth seats. I won't be able to pick up my rig for about 2 weeks, but I have the leather...anyone care to let me know if the back of the leather fold downs has the fabric backing?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, my rig has the fabric backing on my leather seats.

@BuiltRight, why no olive drab option?

Honestly, I got more requests for desert tan, so I chose that as the next color. I could just as easily do olive drab (and will), but I've found that the colors are much less popular and simply can't afford to bring olive drab to market for another month or two. Small business problems I suppose.
Does anybody know where I can get a power plug like is included in the cargo management package? OEM part number for just that piece, perhaps?

Fair enough, you've got time. Gator doesn't hit the roads for a few months.Honestly, I got more requests for desert tan, so I chose that as the next color.

Matt, first off, thank you for sharing your build progress and products. Second, any thoughts on making the RTT and bed side racks out of aluminum for a weight savings and corrosion resistance?

I've explored that option in the past. I should mention that on the lo-rise bed rack, the crossbars are aluminum. I've largely avoided it because to achieve the same strength and durability in this configuration requires nearly the same weight and substantially higher cost.
Regarding corrosion resistance, we use a very thorough prep and powdercoating process that works very well. I'd estimate that our Ford systems have a collective 10M+ miles on them in all different climates and I haven't had a single warranty issue regarding corrosion or powdercoating.

No pricing yet, but yes, it works with the Trail Rail system. I'm working on cutting costs right now and will hopefully have some details and pricing to post in a week or two. I've been using it now for a couple months (revised a few times of course) and have landing on a really simple (but elegant) solution that I like.
In other news, last night, after I could no longer stare at my accounting software and after a couple adult beverages, I sketched this up, for myself and the other peasants without the power outlet in the bed. I know they come from the factory with a black plastic cover, but any takers on a nice red anodized billet piece? Possibly add a pass through or two for misc wiring at the bottom?
Almost Friday!
