Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you are happy with the panels.
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.
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. ?Let me know if you have any questions or concerns with our MOLLE panels.

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!
I did drill for the installation. You can see the install in my build thread.
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.
Thank you, excellent and very thorough write up. ?
