Bedside Molle Panels

[jorosz0309]

Are there any manufacturers who sell in the US who have custom Molle panels for the 3 bed sides?

Not much help now, but Built Right Industries said they will have them for the 2024 Ranger in "3-6 months"

Im also looking for these, particularly a set that includes the bulkhead panel, is highly corrosion resistant and doesn’t require drilling the bed. Bumping this thread for any suggestions.

putco offers a set for the 6g but they are expensive. Might have to bite the bullet on these because they are exactly what I’m looking for.

Some sites say the Builtright panels work but they don’t show up as compatible on the manufacturer site.

I emailed Builtright about the bedside panels in early April and they told me late Q2. So hopefully at some point.

Sorry, I didn't realize this was only Raptor. Im looking for an XLT bed, which I think is different.

ADD has a setup for the Raptor.

Still no Builtright panels 1 year later, I am not impressed…. They show three products for the 2024 trucks, two of them mount ON TO molle panels. I could order the hitch holder and lock, and keep them on the shelf in my garage for another year I guess…

or buy the side panels from ADD now, they don’t list a front one, even though it is pictured.

But I much prefer the slotted appearance of the Builtright ones and their aluminum construction. By waiting for those, I will have lost out on their use for two summers (I got my truck one year ago). If I get the steel ADD side ones now, they may not offer a front one, so a Builtright front panel would not match their appearance - Neither company lists a front one for the older Rangers. I just want all three to match, to order right now. Why is this so hard? ;(

I emailed ADD about the front panel, I will post their reply here.

I DO prefer drilling, like the ADD ones, these panels need additional support brackets , there are no factory holes in those locations!

Looks like these ADD panels block the power outlet in the bed.

The left one does not block the outlets, it has an access panel.

“The driver side set features a removable molle panel for accessing the truck’s accessory power ports when needed. “

I found the ADD RR section, it is mislocated under the F150 Raptor section. I told them by email that they should have a regular Ranger section, since most products work on all Rangers. Here is their current main RR page:

And here is that ADD front molle panel, in stock:

Also the rep told me no more than 30 pounds per panel, a full 2 gallon Rotopax is OK. I think that number is the same for the Builtright panels. If it is really heavy, it should probably rest mostly on th top of the truck bed, and use the molle points to keep it stable..

FWIW, Putco told me that there is a cutout for access to the plugs. The panels have a weight rating for 250 lbs when using 4 or more tie down points (don't totally understand what that means). The front panel is attached at the top and has feet to support the bottom.

I have the ADD molle panels. They are very solid but a few things are worth pointing out. The bed cleat bolts are a royal pain in the ass to get out. Be very careful when extracting them. They use concrete level loctite and the torx are soft. Probably need to use torx+ heads. Also, the ADD bolt holes have tight tolerances. If you have an after market bedliner, it's gonna be a pain to align both holes on the most can forward secure points.

Other than those two things, they are solid and look great

They are Torx+. And yes, those damn bolts sheer off. Maddening!

Do you plan to add a front panel? If so, please update your comments then. Thanks.

Nope, I put a roll-up style bedcover on and I don't think I could fit both. Only doing the side panels

while looking for Molle panels awhile ago I came across Pirate Camp in Australia (QLD). Looks like they make a ton of awesome molle stuff for the ranger raptor (both spray in and tub liner beds) but shipping @ $800+ to the USA makes it unrealistic, might be cheaper to fly there and just bring it home in my suitcase....
