Victory4x4 Bedside Molle Accessory Panel! Just released, Intro pricing!

Install video posted in first post!

 

but WAIT ! there is more !

great video

 

My wallet just got a whole lot lighter. Please don't make anymore Tundra products. Thanks!

 

What about front panel?!

https://www.victory4x4.com/product/VTU23FMP-PC.html

 

Yes, I ordered all three mounts for the bed and I haven’t even installed the diff skid plate that I got a couple days ago!

Seriously though, thanks for making these parts for the Tundra. I’ve been searching for some bed mount solutions for awhile. The diff skid was just the cherry on top..

 

I updated the first post to include the front molle accessory panel.

 

Anyone else what these before the intro pricing ends?

 

Are there any mounting options for people who don't have the bed rail system?

 

Superstrut/Unistrut from the hardware store for a cheap deck rail alternative.

 

Id love to see what people are mounting on these!

It looks like an awesome place for a lot of things I have disorganized in my rear floor board (ratchet straps, recovery gear, bike pump, some tools, but I just don't know about all that stuff staying out in the elements. I'm a no tonneau cover kind of guy so I don't know if this is going to be my solution. Are there bags that are waterproof for this kind of thing?

 

Front accessory panel install video:

 

Will a Hi-Lift still mount up over top if a 4G Rotopax were mounted onto this?
Will a 2G Rotopax mount onto the side molle?

Just trying to work through various configurations in my mind as I plan out my setup.
Thanks @brimy311

 

1.) No it will not.
2.) the side panel doesn’t have mounting locations for a mount. But you could probably mount one with a little enginuity.

 

Sounds good on both fronts!
It wasn't crucial for my idea anyhow, but just mapping out various plans.

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Job done (almost)!







Super impressed with the quality and how solidly these mount. You can shake the truck by grabbing these, and they wont budge.

A couple notes:
1) as you can see I have the OEM tri fold cover. That install pushed down the rail. No real problem; just line things using the built in adjustability of these panels, and away you go. With one exception: we REALLY had to push the panels into the side as we bolted it down thru the holes drilled in the bed. I'm not sure if my rails were kicked out resulting in the panel kicking out, resulting in lots of force needed to push the panel back into the bed wall or what. But that took some doing. Found myself wishing these bolts were 1/2" longer, even after ensuring the mounting brakets were at their full extension.

2) speaking of those mounting brackets... Brian I'm sorry if your ears were ringing because your name was mentioned a few times, surrounded by various expletives. WTF were you thinking telling people to install the bracket AFTER the panel was fit to the bed rail? I watched your install vid again; sure enough, there's a sneaky little cut away as you go to mount them yourself. What a PITA. On the second panel, I put the bracket on first, before putting the panel on the rail, and cut my install time down by half. I strongly suggest others ignore that particular part of the install vid and do the same


3) I received two extra bolts, a random undersized flange nut, and was shorted one proper sized flange nut. No prob; need to run to the hardware store anyway. But I suggest checking your hardware before you start.

4) Sliding the brackets into and down the rail was a little challenging. I guess the OEM bolts holding the rail on to its mounts stick out a little more than expected. Nothing a little gentle persuasion with a hammer and nylon tipped punch couldn't solve.

5) Still got a little work to do; here's a mock up "his and hers" shot of our 'match day' setup. The Quick Fists are just ziptied on for now. Looks like this is going to work just fine.


I'm one happy camper! Thanks Brian and Victory4x4 for coming up with this!

PS: Shout out to @KevinK for working thru the rifle mounting thought process with me. Turned out just as we figured!

 

for when SHTF

 

Man...you guys are turning out some awesome products. I'm almost second guessing hanging on to my 1st Gen. I could buy so many more mods if I had a 2nd or 3rd gen!!

 

Sure wish I had seen this video prior to my attempt at installation late today. Need to include a link to the video in the packaging. Please for the next guys that order the panels.
Like Cement, I am missing a few parts - bolts and matching nuts/washers in order to be able to complete my installation.
Realistically, all the bolts, washers and nuts should be stainless. I have a cap on my truck, but stainless bolts, washers and nuts would be the way to go.

Overall, this beast is SOLID. Very heavy duty and well made.

 

Sorry for the hiccups! Thanks for being patient as we work through these wrinkles.

Customer service can get you the bolts you need in the mail tomorrow. Just let them know what you need!

I’m going to go check the bins, worried the inventory got mixed up with sizes.

We don’t like to use stainless because they cross thread easy nd chew up the threads. At that point, you have to cut the bolts to get them appart. Then there is an issue with stainless causing stains on the powder coat. We’ve had great luck with the zinc coated bolts in this application.

 

Hey Brian, no worries man. We're just glad you are able to take on new projects like this that people want to mod their trucks with in such a short time. Great customer service and very quick response from you as always.

 

True that. All good here. Appreciate it Brian.

 

Sweet. I want two. And the one in front of my kid's car seat. And the sliders.

Nice option for the windoors.

 

I love those bedside molle accessory panels but I had to remove the bedside rails in order to install a Leitner Designs Active Cargo System, which would also interfere with the bed stiffener. On the other hand, the front molle accessory panel is in my list of "future" upgrades, too bad a missed the "intro" price!

How about an ARB twin compressor mount (preferably under the hood)???

 

I do...but let me check my bed as I have a bed rug now. I just want to make sure I can get access or if I need to cut holes in them.
Also, what LED lights are you using for the bed in the front panel demo video?

 

A little tip for those that do want to use stainless, dab a little bit of grease on the threads before spinning them in. It helps prevent the cross threading issue. I went through that headache when mounting stuff on my boat. The grease worked like a charm.

 

I have one last panel in stock from the first batch. You shouldn't have to cut the bed rug, assuming it's just on the floor of the bed? I have a bed mat, so that is about the same thickness.

They are @mattgecko lights.

 

Is the front molle still applies for the intro pricing?

 

It's technically over, but if you call in to Shiloh and ask her nice I'm sure she could extended it to you. 269-353-1184 ext 20

 

Did some arranging last night

 

Finally got to complete installation of the drivers' side panel.
I have a lot going on in my truck bed. Cap, Bedslide, gear I can't live without (in my mind).
Moved the fire extinguisher to the other side after these photos as I have gear to mount where it is in the pix here.
Need to get additional MOLLE pouches for stuff.

The only significant thing I would change about the panels themselves would be to have the small narrow sections over the wheel wells MOLLE as well. It wouldn't eliminate the ability to store a hi-lift jack there is needed, and would increase the usability of the panels storage capacity, at least for me.

And whatever you do when mounting, follow @Cement's comment and mount the lower brackets BEFORE you mount the panels. Leave the forward bolts loose enough yo can push them in or out as needed. I had to push the forward end out to get it flush with the sidewall in order to be able to use the provided short hex bolt.
For tightening the nut outside the bed, I just clamped a vice grip to my allen wrench so the bolt wouldn't spin.

I still say all the bolts, nuts, and washers should be stainless. I would have preferred the nuts be nylock nuts. The bolt ends end up sticking out into the bed are going to draw blood and cussing before it's over. Unfortunately for me, the bolts for mounting the panels to the rails are 1.25" long and my local Lowe's only had 1.5" carriage bolts in stock, so the 4 additional ones I had to buy stick out even farther. I used closest to the cab in hopes of less change of damaging me or cargo later.

Overall, I have been wanting something like this for a good while, and this is a very heavy duty, well made panel set.
Good stuff Brian. Thanks for following up on the MOLLE panel suggestion.
