Nice build! Looking good

Thank you.

On other news, went ahead and ordered Rough Country molle panels for the bed.

Molle Panel Kit

Hoping that I can install it with the bed tonneau cover that I have...

Minor mod... installed the Mopar locking gas cap.

Build looks great. I see you went with the rubigrid I have always ran the single ball mount for each side but they were out of stock so got the rubigrid for my wife’s and was extremely please so going to order one for the Mojave

Graphics arrived today!

Also all the lights and brackets... ran out of daylight... still need to run the wiring for all these lights...

Bed rack side lights installed:

Ditch and fog lights also installed:

Nothing like the smell of manure in the morning

I really like my Jeep…

Rough Country molle panels (the side panels) installed. Was able to install the sides without having to remove the tonneau cover. That was good.

Ran out of daylight again and could not tackle the front panel... that one is going to be a pain in the a**. I will find out tomorrow after work.

Sorry, not photos... got dark. Will take a photo tomorrow morning.

That back plate was not easy with all the tonneau cover parts in place... Of course I could not do the two upper center supports, but the rest is in and secured.

Bee thinking about those Molle panels myself. How do you like them so far? I also have a factory tonneau on mine

I have not put them to use as I just installed them yesterday. But they are sturdy, well made and I like the cutouts for the lights and tie downs.

The one on the back... I am still dealing with installing the top corner bolts... access is a bit of a pain with the tonneau cover cassette back there... but I am not removing it! I will figure out a way to install the bolts. I can place them in, no issues, it is getting the nut on the other side that is a pita... Anyway, I think I have figured out a way to do it. Just waiting on some spring wire to come in.

Ordered some tie-downs (TeraFlex Bed Hood Kit) to see if they would work with the rails that came with the tonneau cover. They did, but not with some additional work to slide them in...

They would not slide from the side since there was not enough clearance to get all this on the side of the rail... so I had to take them apart.

Got creative finding a way to hold the insert in place while I screwed in the front part...

The bend needs to be facing down to avoid interference with the tonneau cover top channel... but it works great like that!

Insert for the tonneau cover rail support installed back...

I only got a set of two to test... liked it so much that I installed both on one side and ordered another set for the other side.

 

[wachuko]

With the help of my wife and some flange serrated nuts, managed to install the two upper corner bolts on the front RC molle panel.

Also, the two additional tie-downs arrived. Those are now installed as well.

Not much for photos... but glad I was able to get the molle completely secured.

Factory auxiliary switches are not enough for all the lights that I will be installing. Looked for an 8 switch pod solution that would not break the bank...

I needed some additional mounts from Bulletpoint and noticed they had an 8-pod kit. So ordered the following:

1. Bulletpoint 8 Gang Electronic Switch Panel - 8 Circuit Relay System for Accessories
2. Auxbeam + Bulletpoint 8 Gang Switch Panel Mount with 20mm Connector Nubby Edition
3. A-Pillar Grab Bar Mount with 20mm Ball - got 2
4. AMPS Compatible 20mm Ball with Metal Mounting Plate - to add a second ball on the passenger side
5. CB Radio Holder with 20MM ball
6. Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Arm and Universal Phone Mount Holder Combo - This is a gift for my cousin...

Here is photo from their website. A photo of a customer's install...

That bulletpoint looks pretty clean to me and if I ever had to go that route I would definitely go with it over some of the other highly overpriced units
