Molle Panels
I am ready to buy my rear window molle panels, I need some help from you all.
I have looked at Rago, Victory, Cali Raised and OrangeBoxx. I have seen differing opinions and wondered if there was a consensus here on which ones were most user friendly.
I like the circular holes in the Rago and Victory versions for adding quick fists or other bolt on stuff but have also heard the grids are too large for proper molle spacing.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Rago
1) Their stuff is very well designed and built.
2) As a company they are incredibly responsive to questions and offer great support.
3) You can mount lights on them to light up the cargo area which, as we all know, has crap lighting.
I'm sticking a switched BD rock light on either side - one red and one white so that when camping I don't attract as many bugs ...
(FWIW, I've now bought an ARB mount, a gas skid, these panels, and a few other things from Rago because everything they make is very well done and the service is fantastic.)

For what those things cost - if I wanted a pair - I'd make my own. They are not a bad idea; but I don't like the loss of visibility.

You know it's not all that often, but every once in a while I catch a glimpse out of that passenger rear window and see something that could be a potential collision.
I didn't have the money at the time Rago had single panels for sale last month, now you have to order the complete set which is a deal breaker for me.

I have Rago, but if I had to do it over again I'd go Victory or CaliRaised, to me they are better looking and more user friendly, Ragos are a huge pain once they are mounted to install anything, I've had to take them completely down to install simple nuts and bolt mounts

Last time I looked Cali-Raised were a little cheaper too. The molle extends down past the window some too as well.

Not being able to access behind them was a major reason I didn't choose them. Putting rolled up towels behind them would be a great spot. I remember the install video and the owner said its not a big deal because people don't change the stuff they hang often. What?? Yeah they do. You also have to take the side rails on the roof off to add their crossbars.

Ordering both is also a deal killer for me although I really like the wya theirs look the best and the shelf would be nice but not for the money.

Hey sorry for the late response, if there is anything we can help with shoot us a email at [email protected]. There are times where we have single passenger panels available if you are still looking.

I like the idea of these but man are they proud of them! I might have to look into some DIY options. I wish I had had these on my Xterra, I had some cargo shift while on a rough trail and BAM! something in the back took out my back window. The replacement window was still cheaper than these panels though

About that shelf...
Are any of these shelves quick/easy to remove if you need to? Say if I needed to use the 3rd row seating or wanted to put the dog in the back, or whatever reason?

Cali Raised was the only company I found that offered molle panels for 3rd row seat options.
