I used a similar setup for first newbie drive, which ended up container being shattered. Actually i am still using the same arrangement except i shifted the location of the jack to more secure place. I am happy with it and container still stays in one piece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Oscar Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 What's your opinion of these molle storage panels? I'm wondering how secure things would be. Although the off-road community seem to think they're great 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaitanya D Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Looks good and practical. Definitely will keep boot neat and arranged but my concern being 1. Obscuring blind spots on highway which is more important. 2. recovery gear is pretty heavy . Tieing then with straps on these might wear and tear soon while being offroad where it's quite jerky all the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 This concepts should work well as long as they are properly bolted on to a steel frame. I am looking for something similar for my XJ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the off-road community seem to think they're great I like the side ones , I have no problems with blind spots obscuring as I have long time adjusted my side mirrors 😄 having the rare setting could be a problem to look through via rare mirror and also I am not sure if RTA will have a word about it . Otherwise it’s lovely secured neat and keeps everything in order 👍 Edited January 26, 2021 by Mohamed Seidam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Oscar Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I agree, I prefer the side ones, I think the barricade one is a step too far. Molle do attachments for a variety of things like extinguishers etc .to secure onto the actual panels. I think that's the best option to make sure stuff doesn't fly off. Also some good garages will fabricate something for your compressor. I have so much in the boot of the X, I'd love for it all to be organised. I'm sure @Ahab Shamaa has this on his FJ. @Ahab Shamaa care to share your knowledge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also keen on the side panels like yourself @Foxtrot Oscar. Being a newbie/fewbie I only have recovery gear so the boot is one duffel at the moment but I love the idea of being organized and being ready for needing to secure more items .. thank you for starting this thread! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgear Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I think the side ones will be useful and practical for smaller/lighter items that could potentially go 'missing' as they get bumped about or sloshed about during desert drives. The rear side window of FJ does not contribute to the overall visibility from the inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wry true, Ahab loves a gadget . I have too much stuff flying around, I’ve tried bags, boxes etc but the constant digging around is annoying . Having the essential always used items out would be great 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ahab Shamaa Posted January 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hey @Foxtrot Oscar, @Niki Patel, @Chaitanya D, @sertac, @Emmanuel, @Mohamed Seidam, @topgear, @Srikumar, @Jefy, @GauravSoni, &@Gaurav. I’ve almost tried it all 😂 I hate, absolutely hate rattling and things moving around while off-roading. I’ve tried to tie down bags, nets, external bags on my spare tire, bags on my roof rack(not practical), and nothing has quite worked like the molle panels. They are great and can hold just about anything; provided you use good quality, to purpose tie-downs. Having said that, if you do decide to get some molle panels, go for good quality ones that will support the weight of equipment; including a 2 ton hydraulic jack 😀. Some panels in the market, are cheaply made and will bend and crackle when driving or under load. Some companies produce specific panels for your particular car, and I found those to be the best, since fit is perfect and they have installation instructions and support. In any event, even with a bit of a higher spend, it’s a once in a lifetime investment and worth every penny 😀 One last thing; there are literally hundreds of bags and holders that are designed for the molle panels, which is a great thing. This system is still being used by militaries around the world to this day. Here are some pics from the back of my FJC; everything is nice and tidy 😀 4 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
