Molle Panels

I don’t use straps. I just zip tie Molle pouches to the panels. Easy on and off with snips and the pouches keep everything rattle free, and easy to get too gear.

Rago and never again! I have over 30yrs installing accessories on motorcycles, ATVs, watercraft, snowmobiles and what ever else you can imagine. Not only do their instructions suck and are totally inadequate. Then they then forward you to their YouTube channel for installation tips. Try to find install instructions for the Gen5 shelf!
In addition the hardware is a joke and I finally gave up and went to the nearest marine store to get stainless hard ware to finish the install.
Wish I knew more about Alpha before making this purchase. :ohwell:

Right!!! This is exactly what I am talking about. There still lots of Fanbois out there and honestly, I will admit, I was a Fanboi (Rago Cool Kids Club) at one point as well - until their products started to show their week points.

To everyone out there: If you haven't had problems with them - that's awesome but a TON of us guys have. Food for thought.
 
I also have a set of Rago panels. No issues whatsoever in over a year. Solid quality. I have nearly every inch occupied by molle pouches stuffed full of tie downs, tools, recovery gear, etc. probably 40 lbs each side.

Rago will never see another penny from me. I have both panels and the fire extinguisher holder, I like how they are built, BUT after I had my fire extinguisher holder mounted, I was on their website and saw they replaced the cheap little pull pin to release the extinguisher from the base with a solid T-handle pull. I called them up and asked if they would sell me the T-handle and was told basically to go pound my pud.. BUT they would be happy to sell me another holder with the T-handle, its a shame too because I do like the shelf that connects the panels together.

what is this T handle pin that you speak of? The ones I see in their pics and customer reviews are ones with the key ring.
 
Here is how I set it up for camping a couple weeks ago. Sometimes I run the shelf, but it blocks some of my view which I hate while daily driving. I think on my next overnight trip I will use the shelf because it would be useful for storing my other gear instead of moving to front seats.

Totally off the topic... but what is the mattress you're using? I like how it fits there, and it looks like it would be comfy.

Its an Exped. Its a little too long since I don't remove the 60% seat bottom. If that was removed it would fit perfectly. Its very comfortable and fits nicely with the fridge. And I still have room for my dog which is why I have a fridge in the first place since he is a raw fed dog.
 
FWIW. I have Rago side window panels and the shelf. Plus a few other items. I am 100% satisfied. The products have zero issues for me. No reason I would not recommend them as a solid choice. I haven’t compared these to another brand but can’t imagine anything being significantly better. Installing was a breeze.
 
For what it's worth...I have the Finn Fabb molle panels, but am looking at the shelf as well, my issue is that I have storage drawers and Dometic cooler already there, so I may not have the clearance. In terms of visibility, it does suck to not have much access to the rear mirror, but using the other mirrors and birds eye on them, I have not had any issues. With the molle panels themselves, I have not been able to see out of those windows while driving with the head rests already blocking. Very happy with my Finn Fab molle panels, but one important benefit, is the ability to use rivets in the holes provided, meaning I can have screws go directly in, which Rago will not allow per previous messages.

I have the Cali-Raised panels and shelf which is just at the level of the top of the rear seat so it doesn't block visibility unless you load it up.
 
I'm in the same situation as the OP, considering RAGO and Victory.

Does anyone happen to have current discount codes for either RAGO or Victory?

TIA. :cheers:
 
I bought a pair from OrangrBox a few months back.
Easy, straightforward installation. Work as advertised.

I have the Exped MegaMat Duo (2 person model) and it's by far the most comfortable air mattress I've ever slept on. It does not loose air overnight, and usually don't have to add any over the course of a few nights of use.

You don't end up squished together in the middle with your sleeping partner like a typical air mattress, and you also don't cause the other person to move when getting in/out of bed.

The R value is one of the highest for an air mattress, so you'll say warmer when sleeping on the ground.

It's expensive, but I've had 2 friends go buy one after borrowing ours. Sorry for the threadjack, just had to throw my .02 in for the exped!
 
I have a question regarding the rear window molle panels. They seem like a great solution to organizing things in the back of the truck, but I'm concerned about the airbags. I assume there are curtain airbags in the rear, and it seems like they would break it apart in an accident, turning them into a claymore. Am I just overly worried, or is that a real possibility?

From what I understand the third row has curtain airbags back there but the 2 row does not
 
Good points, if I had a 3rd row and kids even occasionally sat back there no way I'd install the molle panels. Even in a small fender bender a kid could jolt to the side and hit their head/ face on the metal panels.
I wouldn't want them anyways due to the decreased rear and blind-spot visibility, but that's me.
