Overhead Molle Panels

[irishkpo]

Who has installed one in their Raptor?
I ask since I haven't found many options that don't require the permanent removal of that additional factory crossbrace. Units that I am aware of are listed below. Plenty of manufacturers make units that I like but so far it looks like only JCR offroad makes one that fits with the current factory brace still installed.

If anyone has pics they can share of their installs, I'd love to see them.

Thanks,

JCR Unit - compatible with brace - It is the only one that I have found so far that let's you keep the factory brace. Worried about my J-Top wearing between the brace and the panel though. May have to add some soft edge protection on the sides of the Molle panel so that it doesn't cut through the J-Top over time.

DV8 - Not compatible. Require the permanent removal of the factory brace, but makes a reasonably priced one that even has a nice long grab handle for those in the rear. I actually really like this unit.

I don’t have one yet but I like the looks of the adapt-a-panel design. Check foutz motorsports page for raptor upgrades. It’s in there. Not sure about how it would affect a soft top.

I forgot about that one. I looked at that too. I have two issues with that one.

1. I wonder though how well Molle equipment will really work with that different grid design.
2. It runs side to side and I was really hoping for something that ran more front to back so the area directly over the passenger is open. However, I'm not totally opposed to that one since it has that small connector panel available to tie it into the area over the Aux switches. I want to be able to mount the radio up there. Farther forward it is the easier it is to access the switches etc.

Lobo offroad has a really nice one. Not Braptor compatible yet but he’s considering it

Looks like that is the way I'm going to have to go. Only option I've found that is compatible really that runs front to back. I'm not as big a fan of the ones that run side to side. I'm too tall to make use of the rack above my head. Anything I hung there would be hitting me in the head.

My only concern seeing it installed is the space between the Raptor brace and the rack. I have a JTop. That runs under the brace. I know that there is a cut out there to accommodate the brace and I worry about the fabric rubbing on the edges of the brace long term. Especially with the top off and the wind causing it to vibrate. I just envision it wearing a hole right through the top.

I could pad the brace I guess. Maybe sew a sacrificial patch of material on the Jtop at that location.

I'll take a photo this afternoon of the available clearance and post it here.

I've had my JCR overhead Molle for 8 months and love it. I keep my sunglasses (don't ask how many) and my winch controller up there.
