MOLLE Bed Panels Coming Soon (from American Adventure Lab)!

[AdventureLab]

Today's progress! We will have several different "rear panel" versions (driver and passenger variants) for: full MOLLE (as pictured) and Rotopax Deluxe Mount holes pre-cut, Milwaukee Packout, Power Panel access (driver's side), air/up down panel (passenger side only).

The small vertical slots are spaced to work with our Multi-Tool Clamps - https://americanadventurelab.com/product/heavy-duty-multi-tool-clamps/

These can be used in front-only or rear-only panels, but you would see half of the connector bracket in the middle. They will only be sold as a full set (full driver's side and/or full passenger side).

The MOLLE/Rotopax rear panel is good to go! The square holes in the MOLLE pattern (last photo) are for the carriage bolts for the Rotopax mount. That easily locates it in the middle of the two tie down points and provides extra material to support the fasteners for the mount.

The 2 gallon Rotopax can fits perfectly tucked into the bed side.

Next up: Power Panel access for the driver's side. Then, Milwaukee Packout.

Packout adapter and Power Panel Access. The Packout Adapter pattern will be in all of the rear panels. I thought I would be able to cut that pattern into a rear panel, but it cut into the mounting flanges too much. This will work well.

Is the raptor bed the exact same as the non raptor? These look great!

The insides are the same. These were technically designed on non-Raptor CAD data.

These look awesome, is the molle option available now on your website? All I see for the ranger is the bed rail rack system and it's accessories?

Sneaking in that battery as a teaser ….

I know y'all know this stuff better than me but wanted to point out a pretty big gripe I have with the ADD molle panels I own.

Its pretty clear they derived their tolerances on a non-bedlined truck. I have aftermarket line-x that runs thicker than the OEM bedliner. I had some big fitment issues because ADD's tight tolerances weren't playing nice with the bedliner. The install goes from back to front. Once its time to install in the front, you aren't able to get the front mounting to line up to the factory holes since the liner created an offset in the back.

Just something to think about if you haven't already.

Not yet. We have a big build coming in on Thursday that will be our "other truck" test. I like to put them onto multiple vehicles before release. Hopefully they'll be for sale Friday afternoon.

Ha ha. I think that battery is going to be great. Love the form factor. We use their 100Ah Mini in a ton of builds. Works great.

I really appreciate the input. You're exactly right. The first set I drew, I gave it 2mm for bedliner. That wasn't enough. I had to redraw and recut them. I made the mounting holes overly large so they'll work with the bedliner and non-bedliner trucks. The thickness of the bedliner can vary wildly so we need to take that into account.

Awesome! I'll be sure to pick one up I just got my raptor last week and I found your channel, seeing your other build I'd love to do it but I don't live in a great area so something under the protection of a hard bed cover is exactly what I'm looking for

I can understand that. I looked at all of the tonneau options and couldn't find just what I wanted. They were either heavy, expensive, took up too much space when rolled up, etc. So, we made our own. It weighs 13lb, if I remember correctly. It works in conjunction with our bed RAILS.
