yeah, this is a good point!! My personal favorite "wtf" is the RTT. Totally subjective of course, but this is one that seems a crazy and very expensive "trend" to me that I think many buy without thinking through. As an avid camper for 25 years, to me the CONS far outweigh the PROS of one of these.
Anyway we digressed off topic, but your post is accurate.

I consider a winch like a fire extinguisher. I hope I never need it but so glad I have it if the need arises. (for myself or someone else)

I suspect that the quality of the product equals the quality of their proofing and grammar skills:

I was anti MSP's from the beginning. The pricing from every brand just seemed to be unreasonable (I still think they are expensive for what they are, but it is what it is).
That changed for me after realizing how much space I could be taking advantage of during a trip a couple of months back. There are also things I want to always have in my Runner that are often removed to make space when real life intervenes.
I got my Rago Racks Yesterday, and installed them immediately. I have more Molle pouches and accessories than any noncombatant needs, so that isnt an expense to worry about.
I can also admit that while I was installing them, the thought of "Why are these Steel" did cross my mind a few times. I quickly pressed on after thinking "I wont care about the weight once they are installed permanently", and I think I am correct.
I am more concerned with how small the 2 bottom mounting Bolts are, I think those could have been closer to the size of the Top bolt (Thickness). After 2 hours, those bolts are the only thing of concern for me.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I’ve never seen the shelf mounted so low. Was this a special mod or something you can just do right out of the box?

They give out 20% off coupons like crazy. That's how I ordered mine. All November they had coupons running.

I have the shelf mounted high, but the cool thing about the Rago is you can put it at pretty much at any height.

I made the shelf before they were offered commercially. If you search my name you will find a thread with all the component part numbers listed. Most were sourced from McMaster Carr. You will have to fab some brackets to tie it to the molle panels. I 3d printed the brackets and positioned them so the shelf is just below the top of the rear seat. By far the best mod I have done to my 4runner, it gets used almost every trip.

Can’t see out of the windows anyway with all my recovery gear strapped to the panels, so no need to clean them (on the inside).

Yes they are overpriced.. I got my Rago Molle panels (both sides) along with a custom set made for a friend's FJ..
They are a quality set, built well, and have good adjustability. Was having second thoughts mainly due to price, but heck shipping them back was an arm and a leg too so I kept them.. this 'modding' hobby is $$ anyways
Fast forward 16 months later and I've taken them through some serious abuse, and they are still solid! Some of the molle bags are now ripping apart, even broke my rear bumper hi-lift jack upper mount from all the off-road corrugations, but the molle panels are holding strong. I'm really happy all my recovery gear (soft shackles, tow rope, basic tools, electric spares and bolts, small axe..etc.) is well organized rather than thrown around all over the place

Everything Rago makes is overpriced, and their quality and customer service has gone way down hill. When I got my panels they were the only option, now there are 5 or 6 companies that make similar products, so it's nice to see some options.
I couldn't live with my self knowing its dirty.
Hiding it is not cleaning it. Tell my kids this shit all the time when they throw everything in their closet.
