That's cool. Be interested to see how it mounts.
Very cool, please tell me you don't have to drill holes into your trim panel
Bet ya do.
The panel will be aluminum and only weighs about 3lbs. The gear you choose to mount will be the only real weight factor.
This panel will require drilling the factory plastic panel and will bolt through it with carriage bolts, spacers, nuts (as the factory trim only bolts in one location.)
So I wonder if upgraded struts will really be needed. You won't be able to put a ton of weight on that if it's attached to the panel, and the panel is only popped onto the hatch. There's some limits to load. But it might be a great place to mount my Outer Limit Supply first aid kit!
Will the factory panel be secured differently (something other then the plastic clips) or will this MOLLE panel actually mount to the metal behind the factory plastic panel?
