GP Factor Tailgate MOLLE Panels for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Review at the end.
If you buy, might be worth reading before you install and save yourself the trouble of finding out the thumbscrews probably won't be usable once you've got it on unless you do a few things.

Advice: Ream out the thumbscrew holes in the MOLLE panel and the holes in the back of the rails for the mounting screws to 5/16, and you'll give yourself enough room that you can mount this and still loosen the thumbscrews by hand afterwards. 5/16 is still small enough that the head of the mounting screws will grab the rail just fine, but big enough to let you move it around to find the right spot. I used a step bit.

Why: My install was on a JK tailgate, which looks flat but it isn't quite or maybe because it's just sheet metal, it distorts slightly. Either way, as a result, once the rails were tightened down, they stretched the panel just enough to put pressure on the threads of the thumbscrews and made them too tight to use.Reaming the mounting holes in the back of the rails and the thumbscrew holes in the MOLLE panel to 5/16 gave me enough play that I could find the sweet spot where I could tighten down the mounting screws and still have the thumbscrews work.

If your surface is perfectly flat, or the two surfaces the rails mount to are perfectly on the same plane, then this might not be an issue. Chances are though, even straight out of the box one or more of your thumbscrews is going to be too tight to turn by hand, and you'll at least need to sand or lightly ream the MOLLE thumbscrew holes to remove the finish off the inside of the holes. So maybe give them all a few turns before you do anything else.

REVIEW
The kit is well made. The panel worked just fine for mounting the MOLLE gear I have, no issues there. The finish seems durable and there were no sharp edges that would make you cautious while handling any of it. I used one of these panels and GP's stainless table (which was a hunt to find at time of writing) and they look and fit great. The only issue I had I provided a resolution for above.

This product is awesome when you’re talking about fit and finish. Unfortunately, I’m not sure the designers actually tried to put an molle pouche/bag on it. All the bags I’ve tried (mostly 5.11) have a hard time making the bottom snap because the steel doesn’t give, making it next to impossible to complete the web. Great concept but if you plan to put bags on it, you might find it very difficult if not impossible.
