RC, has the light cut outs, black hardware. 3 nutserts on each side panel(was much easier than I anticipated), no drilling for cab panel. Best price, high quality panels. I’m very pleased with them.

Those are really nice too. Looks like you have the rail system that works well with it.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns with our MOLLE panels. After reading through all the comments I wanted to chime in on a few items that you are considering. Our panels are all aluminum for lighter weight and no rusting. The hardware is stainless. While black would look better, it rusts, and that is not an acceptable option for us. I designed the panels to fit under the rail using bends, not secondary brackets, for optimal strength and they do work with the Diamondback cover. As for the bed light hole. When I was designing the panels I tested keeping a hole for the light but in the end I decided not to have the hole for a few reasons. The lights are angled to shine into the bed. The panels that have a hole directly in front of the light is not helping much as the light does not shine straight forward where the hole is. With all of the MOLLE holes in the panels there is very little difference in the lighting. And, since the whole point of having a MOLLE panel is to mount gear, once items are mounted, the light is being blocked, so I chose to have more usable space on the panel vs a cutout for the light. We also offer the option of a full lower panel (for either side) or a lower panel with a cutout for the bed outlet. If you don't have the outlet, you can choose a full lower panel and not lose mounting space for the cutout if it is not needed. Oh, and NO driliing

Thank you for your thorough response. I'm glad to see a company that is actively on the forum that means a lot too! The aluminum vs steel factor is something that I didn't consider before and piques my interest. I can live with stainless fasteners and even the lights being covered if it means no rust. ?

Absolutely! We have a few small parts that I make in stainless steel, otherwise everything is aluminum. I have spent too much money in the past buying parts to only have them rust in less than a year. When I started designing our parts, aluminum was top priority. As for customer service, when you buy a product from us, you are buying customer service... You just get cool parts along with it!

Built-Rite Industries. Bought it off another forum member. Great price. Works for my purposes. I ended up attaching my tools via quick fists. Then used a hitch lock to secure my Hi-Lift Jack.

They are all good. I am using JCR, Built-rite QuickFist extensions, and QuickFist rubber with just one stainless bolt with washers and lock nuts. Here are 4 pics - unloaded and loaded. No rattles or squeaks, and I have been through a lot of trails with this setup. Works great.
I use the bed a lot, so, I like having the trail rails free to adjust strap locations.

I went with the JCR as well, in part because of the light cutout. I can tell you that you'll have issues with the panels swinging away and banging back to the bed sides if you put anything heavy on them, like the hi-lift. They need to be secured at the bottom. I rigged a temporary tie down in the field, but will be adding something a little more graceful soon.

JCR is definitely a good company, and they've been great to work with. In the end, I wish I've have gone with @813 Fabrication & Design, from what I've learned of their bed molle system and that I seen from the ARB compressor mount I got from them.

A few other issues to watch with the JCR. I wrote up my thoughts in my build thread here.

Quick question. Can you haul a sheet of plywood with these Mole panels installed? I realize that the purpose of the panels is to strap your stuff to them, in which case, there would be no room to lay a sheet of plywood in there but if the panels are clean and bare?

Just went out and took a look. Distance from face to face on the JCR panels is 55 inches, so you should be good. Big boxes or a hi-lift will be in your way, but even smaller stuff like my shovel and flashlight look like they're fully outside the width of the rear gate opening and won't be in the way.

When the time comes (love the features with all of the various brands) I will be going with 813 Fab, aluminum for the weight aspect (primary) and no nasty rust to deal with for the panels or hardware. Plus it appears their customer service is spot on and made in the USA.

I'll pay more everyday for USA products........support the economy and small business FTW!
