No-Drill Bedside Tool Storage: powoq 5.8-FT Side Bed MOLLE Panels

[powoq]

Hey guys,

How do you feel about truck bed organization?

To me, getting everything "just right" takes some time, but nothing beats the satisfaction of a perfectly arranged setup. If you love having everything in its exact place, our Side Bed MOLLE Panels will be right up your alley.

We designed these specifically for 2019-2025 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 5.8-ft beds (excluding Carbon Pro models).

These panels let you use the empty space on your bedsides, keeping the bed floor clear. Made from powder-coated carbon steel, they can hold up to 300 lbs. They are sturdy enough to carry heavy gear like jacks, shovels, and recovery boards without bending, which also helps reduce annoying rattles on the road.

Installation is drill-free and bolts directly into the factory mounting points. If you are new to DIY mods, getting everything aligned perfectly might take a little patience.

I wanted to share a more detailed look at our side bed MOLLE panels in action.

I like your design! I've had built right panels in my 24 for a couple years. They work, But I had to add some extra contact points on the ends to stiffen them up. Used the existing bolts on my bed cover clamps and added some stand offs to the bottom. I like how yours attaches to the D rings also. Pretty smart, I bed they are very solid right out of the box!

Thanks so much! It’s great to get your validation. You've got an awesome setup there!

I noticed the box on your driver-side wheel well. Is it mounted to the molle panel? Does it hold up well?

It's worked out great. I don't think I posted anything on here about it. Just a cheap aluminum toolbox. I made some brackets to mount it to the panel and added some curved friction hinges so it can swing out. Fits the spot over the wheel well pretty good and easy access. Here is a couple better pictures, ignore all the dirt

This is a pretty cool setup! Love seeing how everyone is getting creative with the MOLLE panel and building their own solutions.

I did notice a little rust around the bracket mounting points. A better coating or surface treatment on the brackets would definitely help with long-term durability.

Also, if anyone would like to see more bracket options for the MOLLE panel to support different DIY builds, drop a comment. We’d love to hear what you guys are looking for and keep improving.

Yeah those hinges were like 8 bucks for the pair. The pivot point is just a rivet. The bracket I made at the bottom actually has ball bearings and SS bolts. I have a bed cover, But my bed gets used often and gets lots of wear and tear. I have to spray it out pretty often. You can see even the chrome latches on the toolbox has some rust. I love having Molle bed panels though, I've had them in my last couple of trucks. Great way to hang stuff up out of the way. I carry large packout boxes in the bed when I need them, But everything on the panels stays back there 24/7. Usually the bed sides is just kind of dead space.
