Ended up ordering the Putco Bulkhead Molle and the Maxtrax. I’ll post pictures when everything is delivered and installed.

What did you find to secure the boards to the panel?

I bought these with the boards. If they don’t work Amazon had a couple of other products that might work.

MAXTRAX MKII Mounting Pins

Those should work just fine.

ARB TRED PRO Recovery Board

It's a waste of money to install a panel in that area. Boards will take up the full space

I'm going to install the panel so I can secure the boards the way I want. That's the whole reason I got the panel.

your money, your choice. But the boards install only one way. They are too long/wide to install different ways. I understand if some are weary of bed drilling but for how much you pay for PUTCO far back pannel you can find a shop to drill . install these and be left with cash for a 12 pack.

I totally understand your point. My favorite accessory shop is going to install the Putco setup for me for less than I can buy it on my own and install it. I just think it will be a cleaner look.

Putco Molle Panel installed along with their clamps for my Maxtrax Recovery Boards. I didn’t want to use bungee cords, but I couldn’t get the lower clamp to hook onto the boards. After a few cuss words I compromised and got bungee cords.

Nice work!

I installed the Foutz Motorsports molle panels on both sides and relocated the OEM bed management side rail to the front. Rotopax products were used for most mounting requirements.

looks nice and neat but no melee panel is going to hold that jack...it will get ripped off the bed 1st time you go off road

I believe @Shifts_And_Grins has a solution on how to safely mount the jack you are using

This work was performed by Weistec who are experts in Motorsport design and engineering.
The jack is installed in the Foutz Motorsports quick release jack mount.
The molle panel was reinforced where the jack mount attaches.
I have already tested this set up off road and it is solid!
Thanks

I would like more info on that. I haven't purchased a floor jack because I can't find a great way to mount.

i hope you are right. I just dont see how 8 x m8 bolts / rivnuts ( this is what it takes to attach the pannel to the bed) is going to hold it . How heavy is the jack? because you also have a rotopax installed on the same molle
