Offering quality steel and aluminum goods for Toyota and Lexus 4x4s.

Info:

Bison is aluminum with steel support brackets. Victory is steel.

Probably easier getting support from Victory4x4. Also available is a video detailing install. I don't see sh*t online about the Bison Gear.

I have the Victory4x4 Molle Panels and the fit and finish was excellent. The install video is super helpful. But It is a PITA to install as you have to remove the lower plastic trim and than drill into metal beneath. The hardest thing was hold the nuts in place while trying to thread the screw through. I don't have any rattling with mine after a year or so of use, but I did use blue loctite.

I have a Rago Fabrication 12V Accessory panel mounted to the PS panel but it doesn't quite align perfectly with the existing Victory4x4 holes. I use this for my fridge and misc. charging needs. So I used some Molle backer nuts.

I like these rear panels as it gives me more surface area to organize my gear in a space that would otherwise not be utilized well.

I didn't get the cross shelf piece since it interfered with by fridge opening. I use a mesh net instead for squishy items like camping bags, jackets, etc...

I'll add pictures when I get a chance.

Thanks - appreciate the response. Reached out to Bison customer service and they said there weren't any instructions. I saw an install for the same panel for the 80 series and I don't like how it mounted using self-tappers along the bottom.

I'd love to see what you did with the rear setup in the interior of your 100.

On the PS I store my RTT ladder, folding step, and poles for my awning.

Dang I don’t have any good pictures of the DS.

I ordered gullwing windows and wanted one of these molle panels. So I can have a wall of molle mounted gear accessed through the gull wing.

How much space is there between the window and the molle panel?

 

[dogdaysindurham]

I would say maybe 1.5-2” at most. I’ll measure in the AM.

Which gullwing windows did you buy?

Awesome! I have my eye on them - could you please share your experience once you have them installed?

I second what @dogdaysindurham said, Victory4X4 molle panels are superb. Their customer service is top-notch. I purchased the Upper Shelf (universal). While the install is annoying, it is worth it because when I hear something rattling it is gear rattling, NOT the panels, nor the shelf. I have driven 8 hour plus drives with shelf installed and loaded with no problems. Yes, that is the Goal Zero 1500x at 45lbs resting on the shelf, tight fit, but it held it.

Don't forget about another MUD vendor @orangeboxxfab

They have a standard and HD version

I have the Bison aluminium ones, and although it's light weight and very clever - it is a complete pain in the ass to install. The brackets are disobedient and the process would be easier with the window removed. Also, the window cannot be opened unless you have the hands of a small child. I didn't have many UK options here though, so I'm glad to have something rather than nothing.

Just received and installed bison gear side window panels and the shelf yesterday. Self tap seemed fine but if it doesn't age well I'll just add a nut and bolt

I’ve got the Victory 4x4 panel and attic rack. The old girl was used for early model prototypes for them. I love both of them, mostly the attic rack for waders and camping supplies. I haven't utilized the panel as much as I could, but they are super handy.

Negative, Victory 4x4 is laser cut and formed right here in south west Michigan.
