In Bed Molle Panels

[4R-to-RHO]

No it doesn't

From @IvanNik photos, i noticed that the panels mostly attach via the bedrail mounting points, but there seems to be some mounting hardware closer to the floor of the bed that my truck doesnt have (i.e., near the wheelwells and the D-ring tiedown anchors, etc.). I am installing a bedrug so want to make sure i cut out access to whatever i might need in advance, but im not clear where those lower mounting points are going to if no drilling is required? Can someone help clarify?

1) it looks like it works with the bed rail system if you want it to but you lose some molle panel space.
2) looks like they made a molle panel with a cut out for onboard power.

So these work with the mopar bed accessories (the cargo bed divider)?

I cant speak for the cargo bed divider since i havent used it but all the other bed accesories work. the rails and hooks and power outlet.

you over complicating this
the lower bolt uses a slide nut (or expansion nut as an option), RHO bed already has hole in the wall near the tie down anchor

Gotcha! Is this guy on the bottom-right of the photo not a mounting screw then?

This one is just a rubber cushion, it’s not attached to the bed.

i notice sometimes my panels vibrate and make noise on rougher roads so i designed and 3d printed 2x little spacers that go between the panel and bed wall, they are similar to the rubber spacer and bolt to inside of panel but thicker so the panels no longer vibrate. They are about 1" thick. Worked like a charm.

Got any pics of how and where you did this? No 3d printer, but may be able to find something that will work similarly.

Maybe I need to get me one of those 3d printers, seems like they are handy. Ugh, now there is something else to research.

Here you go bro, just order a few of these and get some 1/4"-20 x 3/4" long bolts with washers and put these spacers between the molle and bolt them in place. No 3d printer needed. They make them in aluminum too if you want

Hey there. Reviving this older thread. My '27 shows it just shipped and will be to me here in MT soon. Has anyone installed a bulkhead molle? Putco seems to be the only one that attaches without drilling, but I could be wrong, and it's pricey at over $500... Thanks in advance!

Just a heads up that the PUTCO doesn’t appear to work with the cheaper side panels from China on Amazon, like the ones I bought. I think I will have to go the route of drilling. Unfortunately the putco is just too expensive for the kit relative to the Chinese one.
