Victory 4x4 Molle Panel Install
Just wanted to share my thoughts on the newer Victory 4x4 Molle Panel. Ordered and received the panel in less then a week so it was already off to a good start. I installed it yesterday and it was an easy install and fit perfectly, and followed the contour of the opening. Only issue I ran into was the head was made imperfect on one of the supplied Allen bolts and the wrench would not fit in the head. I was able to get a star bit in there and was able to tighten up fairly tight. I doubt it will be an issue. Not thier issue but the manufacturer. It came with flanged nuts with the teeth on the back. I'm hopeful that they wont back off with vibrations. I would have preferred a washer and a nylock nut myself but that being very critical. Only other critique I would make is the white nylon spacers stand out like a sore thumb. I was going to just paint them but wasn't sure if it would stick so I just simply wrapped them with electrical tape. All in all in very happy with it and saved some money over some of the other panels. Would totally recommend this panel!!!

Looks great! Sorry to hear about the bolt, but sounds like you got it taken care of. If you ever have an issue, feel free to give us a call.
The serration should prevent the nuts from backing off. I have run two panels for quite a while now without any issues.

The bolt is not your fault but I think it'll be fine. Good to hear about the nuts too. Thanks for a great product!!

Yep. After a long meeting south of Richmond this morning, I drove back and had a Quest bar for my lunch whilst driving. Took my lunch break to install the panel.

I can't really say since I never listen to radio but I doubt it.

Likely unintentional, but you've cropped out the lower left attachment point in literally every pic.
Different molle panel makers have addressed the offset in that spot using different solutions (for example, Rago angles the panel itself and uses a long cylindrical spacer).
It'd be nice to be able to see how these guys did it............
