Let me remind you people are standing in line to buy these wether you think that's a good idea or not...

I do not drive a TRD Pro as I would rather buy a lower version and replace all the stuff with higher quality options rather than the midgrade goofy shit the TRD Pro has, for far less money, the only thing you lose is color options (who cares).

My point was someone buys a 50K rig and then complains about paying for quality built items for it.

For reference, I purchased a similar shelf for my 200 series Land Cruiser from a company called Kaon based out of Australia. Since the LC has a 3rd row with grab handles the unit is stand alone and does not require use of accessory side molle panels. The unit is made in Australia. I paid $335 USD Shipped with UPS international shipping accounting for $138 of that and it arrived to my door in 5 days all the way from AU.

By comparison I feel like the Kaon is a bargain since it doesn't require the extra side molle panels and it was only slightly more than the Victory rack and much cheaper than the Rago rack despite international shipping. I feel like the Victory and Rago units could be a bit cheaper and I hope they at least give you bundle discounts since you have the get their side panels too.

That is pretty great.

agreed if you buy top of the line for all stock bells and whistles that some one else picked out for you with out thinking about cost for said bells and whistles... this is chump change. But if you want the best bang for you buck buy only want you want/need.

i have another companies mollie panels and they work well enough for my purposes, however I have the victory rear bumper and dual swings, their build is spot on, but the powder coat won't last long in the NE.. just saying get that shit done local if you're in the rust belt... zinc pre coat is a must.

that said, this isn't an exterior product.... so i'd chance it if I had a need.

I'm still waiting for mole panels that line the ENTIRE inside of my vehicle. Every square inch.

I need more places to store all the recovery gear I don't use.

Same! I’m going to attach molle panels on top of my molle panels. I need more space for my paper towels.

Due to the mounting locations in the 5th gen, the shelf does require the MOLLE panels to get the lower support. In something like the GX or LC, the shelf will mount without the side MOLLE panels because they have two mounting locations per side up top.

Any plans for an aluminum version? I know it won't hold as much weight but anyone storing a highlift jack head height inside the cab has other concerns anyway
