Thanks, next mod is complete.
The M-Packs and rack is in from the group buy I got in on awhile back.
Anyone interested in installing these into other rigs besides FJ Cruisers and Jeeps should contact Springtail Solutions.
All URLs will be at the bottom here.
The kit allows you to mount a rack on the rear of the FJs door, and that rack will then let you mount bags of different sizes and configurations to it.
They use the military Molle strap system, something I was not really familiar with until I saw the thread put up by the vendor on fjcruiserforums.com's site.
I suspect it is some type of setup my favorite Sci-Fi show StarGate SG1 uses on their uniforms they wear too.
Here are the parts laid out, the rack, then the bags.
The bag at the very top of the pictures goes into the compartment in the right rear.
Those with the factory subwoofer would not be able to put that bag there, as the subwoofer occupies that space.
The two big bags and the smaller ones with the two straps mount to the M-Pack rack.
The smaller one strap packs go into the front door pockets for a perfect fit.
The next set of pictures shows:
Rack mounted to the rear door
Pack in the rear right hand side compartment
Packs in the front door
Packs mounted to the rack
I have a lot of filling to do on these packs still.
The front two packs in the doors each house a Boeing first aid kit I received at work as an award for something I did
Before the first aid kits sat in the front pockets and shifted around a lot.
With them stuffed into the Molle packs there is no movement now, it is a nice tight fit.
The mounting of the packs and what you carry possibilities are endless, and using your imagination I am sure you might find a way to bring along the kitchen sink on your next overland travel, camping trip, or 4wheeling trip.

At the main URL for Springtail are more photos and an FAQ that explains what the Molle system is.
Next mods coming up:
Safari snorkel
Focal 6.5 components for the front doors and the tweeters will go up in the dash, new rear Focal speakers, and an Alpine 4x100 watt amp to power it all.
Not going with a subwoofer yet, I want to hear how this sounds first.
