Some progress on rear window molle panel:

Looks sexy! Are you guys planning a shelf for the top like the Kaon shelf?
Will this side panel be compatible with the way the Kaon shelf mounts to the handle mount?

 

[brimy311]

Yes we have plans for an upper shelf.

Yes we have plans for an upper shelf.

Very interested in this.

Hello @brimy311
Any update??

 

[brimy311]

We have the rear window molle panel complete. Still need to make installation documents. This will be an early April release.

Hoping the roof rack follows shortly behind. A bunch of scanning will be happening the next couple weeks for the LC and the LX.

Nice!
Are you pulling the panels to get a nut on your mounting hardware or some sort of butterfly anchor?

It requires pulling the inner panels and installing nutserts. We’ll have a video.

Cool stuff! Used JCR on a variety of things on my Gladiator and pile of other Jeeps over the years. Interested to see what you come up with for the 200 (and 80!).

Any plans for rear screen deletes?

Going after the easy things first, was able to find an existing center console molle panel that fits perfectly! This allow for a belt clip holster, clip your knifes, flashlight, etc on them. They install with 4 screws into the plastic.

I vouch for this product on the GX. Holds all kinds of random stuff, and excellent banana carrier!

Great news. Looking forward to the great things you'll be offering for the 200.

Reasonably priced options would be very much appreciated. It is probably a volume thing, but when I see how affordable Jeep and Tacoma parts are, I get jealous.

One product that we don't have affordable options for in the US is a light cargo/pet barrier. They are readily available in Australia, but it just costs too much to get them over here.

I think the aiirbags are a concern for some (David from Tekbox has mentioned this recently)

Wit's End bought rights to the Speski barriers (great mounting system!), and with any luck will eventually offer something, but it isn't high on their list.

I have a cheap one from Russia, but would love to replace it with one from the US (if we can get it at a reasonable price).

Hard mounting to the vehicle, not the headrest posts would be better...

Let me know if you need a beta tester.

There's Raingler, if you're ok with soft-ware

I had a Raingler net on my ‘13 and liked it. I didn’t love the way it attached to the vehicle though. What I’d really like is a metal Speski barrier for the 200. The mounting system alone beats everything else I’ve seen.

yeah, I would have rather had a properly rigid barrier...on which you can firmly mount stuff...but that one was months out with shipping, due to the you-know-what

This thread has been silent for a month now. No updates?

 

[CharlieS]

I checked their web site just the other day and they still only had the center console panels listed for the 200.

 

[isthatalexus]

Thursday update: not on the site yet.

 

[isthatalexus]

As an alternative to the rear Molle panels, I would also buy into a whole rear window replacement storage box with external gull-wing door access. I know, I know, I need to lay off of the tweed...but those would be awzum.

Wow, those are great! Thanks for the tip.

I could see using one of these in conjunction with an internal Molle cage for access to fire extinguisher, coozies, and other quick-draw things of a needful nature. If only my imagination could write checks that my design and fabrication skills could cash. (NB: no such skills currently)

LOL. Pretty much. Awzum!
