Any use external window molle panels that fit SSO roof rack? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Not sure if there are any external molle panels that will fit the SSO rack, and I haven't seen anyone mount any up so hoping someone here has fitted some up. It seems like the Prinsu fitments may fit but hoping someone has done it already and can confirm?

Would you be able to measure the height from the roof to screw holes above that rear window? mine look to be exactly 3" above the roof measuring from the outside edge to the middle of the screw holes.

I'll do it tomorrow. I have to take some measurements for sandycats or offkamber on my bumper tomorrow anyways.

I misplaced my tape measure so i gotta go buy one tomorrow too lol.

Thanks! hoping that there is something that would fit. Though I think no matter what it would require cutting due to location of the rack side lights.

I probably wouldn't do it. I have the Rago e-msp or whatever they call it.

I think 3 inches is enough clearance, but see pic 3. The mount lip (above the tape measure) is really close to the roof line, and the prinsu rack slopes upward and fatter from front to back. So i think it will fit, but if I'm wrong, that will be a expensive mistake.

pic 1: rear mounting hole measurements
pic 2: front mounting hole measurements.
pic 3: is where the mount and panel meet. Pay attention where the L shape lip is above the measuring tape is. Its really close to the roof line.

Thanks for taking those detailed pics!! I really appreciate it. Yea that is a lot closer than I would feel comfortable with, even on a prinsu rack tbh, which is what it is made to fit. With weight bouncing, it wouldnt take much to get those stainless screws to possibly scratch the car underneath.

I am using the Rig'd hitch carrier with a jerry can holder which works great but it would be nice to have additional space for water and/or my traction boards. I will keep looking at possible exterior molle panels to cautiously try to find a solution. I also have the BD S2 rack lights which would require cutting of the rago panel mounts.

It won’t move once it is installed. I just worried it won’t fit or it will look out or place. All rago has to do is measure the brackets. So maybe ask them if they can have a more liberal return policy if it doesn’t fit so you can be a test mule?

Honestly, the whole concept is gimmicky. I use it for security against smash n grabs. Otherwise mine is always empty. Looks cool though lol

Lol yea it is mostly a gimmick I think, but if I could use it for rotorpax(if it can take the weight), or recovery boards it may be useful.

Call them to see if they can send u just the bracket to test fit. It won’t hurt to ask. In return you can provide pictures
