We have our own design that does not just screw into the plastic to hold it into place. They are about 1 month out from being on the market. Ours will be in the same price range , But powder coated Matte black. Just like the rest of our stuff you will be able to customize them and custom colors.
Please consider making a molle panel for the lower side of the console.

I am not trying to support or defend Rago, but their 200 window molle panel is securely mounted at the top in the holes for the grab handles, and at the bottom with a factory threaded insert (unused on us cruisers) and a second that you install a nutsert into (with aluminum standoffs so the plastic panel is not crushed). I saw a video of the install on YouTube:

None. As far as we can tell. There is no Air bag in the area of the storage rack.
On US models this diagram does not concur

Thank you for the diagram. Our design sits far enough into the widow cavity to not to interfere with side curtain. We recommend that you do not store anything on the rack systems that could puncture the side curtain bags. Or to be large enough to interfere with the air bag deployment. Common sense has to be used when using Molle racks.
We stress when we make these for the customer to realize when mounting things to think about what they have mounted. How will it react when off road. In case things do not go as plan what could become a projectile in the case of a wreak. Roll overs and other things that you cannot really foresee.
We design in that way. That is the very reason we do not recommend mounting air tanks and fire extinguishers to the racks without bottom support. It is the same reason when you first go off-road you have been told not to stick your hands or arms out of your vehicles. Most of us do not want to see blood involved in opps moments. We like to keep everyone safe to come Back for more fun later.

Thanks. Sorry didn't mean to double question. The photos just looked like a potential for interference.
I've been thinking more and more about a half drawer setup recently and this looks like it could be a great, functional addition to that setup.
In my case I've been pondering how to do a half-cage around the drawer setup that would secure cargo from becoming a projectile yet not interfere with the 3rd row air bags *and* also be removable for those times I want to turn it into a single person sleeping platform or haul some 4x8 lumber

Please send us a photo of your set up or the way you are thinking to our design department. darrel@orangeboxxfab.com we can work with you on it
Nothing installed yet. I'll draw up what I'm thinking and send it to you. Basic goal is to keep one of the two rear seats usable by my kids (preferably passenger side) but safely travel with tools, cooler, and other gear as well.
