That system if effing lit af!!! Love it man! Thanks for uploading🤙🏽
You are hilarious and real! I can totally relate to everything you said. I did order a set from Cali Raised, so hopefully it's as easy as you say. But nothing is as easy as we think! Keep up the great work.
I will never look back 🤣 I can't believe how much more space becomes useful. Like 4ft²!
Looks absolutely amazing!!!!
Perfect system! Thanks for video, awesome as always! As i see you can also utilize space under the top part of system to mount more equipment!
Yep you can! I might put a net under there that we can stuff things into or put smaller stuff that's easier to grab
I've been looking for good ideas on what everyone has been mounting on these molly panels, and your layout is great! Not too cluttered with immediate needs right up front.
That's the goal!! Too much clutter and I can't find anything or see out the window! 😂
Haha. 'And when it finally came in'. I've been waiting for my Cali Raised Molle Panels for 8 weeks now.
Wowwwww
Ok totally have to have this now!!
Brilliant setup, wish they made similar for the subi forester
I am a big fan of the molle panels, and saving up to put a similar set on my 4th gen 4Runner! Thank you for sharing, and the life lesson! I hear you on that... HAHA!
Hahahahahaha
I’m running Orange Boxx molle’s on my 4th Gen. They’re “ok”. Honestly if I was to do it all over again, I’d probably go Rago or Victory 4x4. I wish CaliRaised made 4th Gen ones. First thing I looked up after I saw Asia post this vid. I really like that lower branch section that the CaliRaised’s have.
@@davidrucci I almost went Rago also but love the extension
Thanks for the installation guide. Just installed mine thanks to your help.
Another awesome mod!!!!
Great video. I'm curious if you hard mounted your pelican case with bolts right to the molle panel, or if it's removable? I'm looking to mount a similar size first aid kit in a pelican case but want it easily removable.
Right now it's right on there. No plans to remove it. Was a pain though to get the bolts behind it. I shoulda mounted before I put the panels up
During the first couple of years of my marriage with my first wife, I “gifted” her for Christmas an awesome assemble of kitchenware; to include high end pots and pans, utensils, mixer,,,, all sorts of great $#!+. Boy, was that a mistake!
😂 Rookie mistake at the time. We've all been there.
Just ordered them, can’t wait to get them! Your jacket is 🔥 what is it bro?
Thanks bro! Jacket is fr SuperDry
Love that molle system, was curious can you see what’s on the shelf from the rear window?
Here's what's awesome...you can't! I mean you can if you really look in and up but even then it's obscured. Great place to secure some things you don't want seen.
Hey bro love the videos
Thanks man!
What’s the spacing between the shelf and the headliner? Trying to figure out what I can fit up there.
Also, is the upper shelf annoying in daily driving, as in, does it block your view a lot or rattle? Thanks for the video!
Not much. I wanna say maybe 3-5". Just enough to stuff jackets or a slim case
2 Q's-
Can you install the shelf backwards and upside down? That would allow me mount a rifle and the short section of molle could hold small pouches right at eye level; and
How did you mount the Pelican?
No because it hooks down into the side and then you have to lift both sides up till it meets.
I mounted the pelican by drilling holes into it and then attached it with some nuts bolts and large washers to hold it in place
Curious, how much space is between the face of the storage hole on the passenger side and the molle panel? For I have that door/latch kit that puts a door on it . P.s. will a 2 gallon rotopack work on the molle where you put the water rotopack in the video?
I'll measure for you when I get back in town
Who makes those lights you have attached on either side? They look awesome
Oh those are just magnetic work lights I got on amazon I used to illuminate the area during install lol. But one day I do plan to add some lights to this
How were you able to fit the rotopax mount on the molle panel? I can’t figure it out.
I am using the smaller rotopax that is only a gallon :)
What are those lights you have mounted on the upper panel?
I’ve been looking for lights just like that but can’t find any I like.
Oh haha you're not the only one. They're actually just magnetic battery powered work lights I got on amazon. Not a permanent fixture. I just wanted to light up the area for the video. I WILL say look into the KC cyclones or even any rock light kind of kit to wire up something similar
If you have a third row seats, is the upper tray block the way?
For us shorter people or our kids, no. But someone who's taller, it might
Any suggestions on how to install the quick grips to the molle panel?
I just use the bolts. If I could go back though I would lay out all the bags and grips on the molle already before I put them up. Hard to get a wrench or your fingers on the other side because there's not a lot of space anymore between the molle and the vehicle
I need to check out this company for anything to put on my cars… What’s in your pelican roadside assistance case?
I keep a jump pack and a small emergency blanket that is also a tarp. I have a bigger one in my Jeep that houses the same with the addition of emergency lights. Hers was too small to fit anything else
What’s the black bag on the passenger side Molle panel and how is it hung? Love the setup bro!
It's just a molle bag I found on Amazon
And thank you!
What size is the rotopax you have? Love the set up! Just installed my driver side window panel.
That's the smaller 1 gallon :)
Just got mine and looking for the right size Rotopax…do you happen to know how well it fits the other sizes?
@@michaelpangilinan_He mentioned it in the video.
It would of been cool to see what kind of hangers or things in general you used to mount all of your items
I will be showing that in a walk around video. But I'll give you a tip now: quick fists (they're awesome and comes in so many sizes), Velcro straps and nuts and bolts. That's it. They're pretty minimal stuff so I didn't see a need to show those.
@@BaptismOverland i just ordered my first molle panel so i just wanted to know what the pros where doing to Mount there stuff so i can go buy the same thing before my panel gets home, like i have a fire extinguisher but I’d like to know what you’re using to Mount that so i can buy it to 😅😅
@@DoseofYorch sooo for fire extinguisher usually it already comes with a mount. Most everything here comes with a mount so you just mount it on with some nuts bolts and washers anywhere on the molle. No need to buy a separate mount for them. Unless you're mounting a rotopax and with that you just buy their mount on their website
Hey I need ones for my 3rd 1997 4Runner but I cannot find any . Do you know where I can get some
I haven't seen any. I'm considering a 3rd Gen to buy and have been researching parts and the molle offerings are very slim
How is your visibility out of the back with the shelf and with gear on the shelf?
Good actually! I didn't load that side up a lot so you can still see. I made sure of that
How many inches is the tray away from the ceiling? I'm looking at buying this, but I want to make sure what I plan to put up there, fits well.
It's pretty close. Maybe 3"? Enough to stuff blankets and such
Thanks!
Can you actually stuff sleeping bags up there? Looks kinda tight.
No. Won't fit. Packable blankets yes
Any tips for mounting the rotopax and the quick grips to the molle?
Did you have to use larger washers for the rotopax?
I would yes because the holes are larger. But good thing is it's not just squares holes. They have slats and some bolt holes as well that are thinner
What size washers did you use?thanks for getting back to me too!
@@user-fw1zh3xf8f I don't know honestly. I just used what I had on hand. If I had to guess I believe they were M8's as I pretty much stick with M6 and M8 nuts and bolts
1:39 How did you mount the pelican case to the panel??
Holes and bolts lol
what kind of lights do you have hanging from your molle?
Oh those are just magnetic shop lights I use in the garage I got from Amazon. They're super handy. I keep a few in the vehicle and we use them at camp or under the hood or wherever I need lights
Hey pare! What size is that pelican case? My wife finally got her panels after 2 and half months of waiting! 😂
It's the pelican 1400. The dimensions should be on their site.
Man that's a long time! Mine took about a month and a half
@@BaptismOverland sorry typo! It was about a month and half! Thanks for the info. Great video!
where did you get the paper towel mount?
Amazon. Super cheap. Just look for magnetic paper towel holder but just FYI the magnet isn't super strong
What lights do you have mounted underneath the shelf?
I knew at some point someone will ask lol Those are actually just magnetic work lights I got on Amazon that I use in the garage. It isn't hardwired or anything. I just used it to light up the sides for the video. I DO plan to get an LED strip though and hardwire it
Hey, will a foldable table fit on the shelf??
No the shelf isn't very big.
rear view mirror still usable?
Yep! No issues here as the shelf is high
I dont care about the cloth hanger, but the cargo net hook has a purpose! Now i have no clue how to hang my net!
As a married man, I completely understand why that intro was needed. Stay strong. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Do you sleep with your head at the tailgate? If so, does the top shelf interfere much when sitting up? Does the stuff on the side molle panels get in your while sleeping? Does the top shelf interfere with moving around while inside at night?
We don't sleep in that direction no. But even so we go through the tailgate sometimes and that's why we chose the highest shelf vs the mid shelf or low shelf. Lots of clearance still. Only issue I'm having is opening the fridge because it's tall and has a high lid. I'm going to need a fridge slide
The side def not. It's pretty flush to the side of the vehicle. But the top, it's not in the way for us but that'll also determine how tall someone is too
Ok, appreciate it. I'm 5'4 so it sounds like if I got with the top shelf it won't be an issue for car camping for me. Now the decision for me is to go with top shelf only, or the windows also.
@@kokifreedom3563 I'm 5'6 and my wife is 5'4 so you're good!
@@kokifreedom3563 you can't do the top shelf without the side panels. The top shelf hooks to the side panels
By any chance does it look like one could have the driver panel, top tray and only the hook of the passenger side without the panel?
No it hooks to the panels themselves. I know you're asking because of visibility am I right? If so as long as you don't mount anything to that panel you can still see through it
@@BaptismOverland thanks, thats exactly why i was asking. Just seems like a waste.
@@lanix17 yeah unfortunately. But the shelf is meant to take on a load and there aren't many mounting points on the runner. I mean idk maybe you can DIY something? It's really just hooks anyway
@@lanix17 but also you can make it not a waste by mounting to the panels that aren't covering the window either. Like at the bottom and such. Just something to think about.
@@lanix17 bro you can have a full time rear camera if you add a powered switch to the reverse wire behind the radio. (Only if you have the screen. Mine has the stock Navigation unit.) Anyways. I never have to look back. I can hit the switch to make the radio think I'm in reverse.
Hey bro. Is this molle panel for the 2nd row seating version correct?
Can you elaborate? We have it on a 5th Gen and it fits perfect.
It shouldn't hit anything. Just check if you have the 3 bolts on your truck. It 2 Philips and one 10mm up top under the hook... let us know if you run into anything 🤙🏽 Goodluck fam
@@BaptismOverland I dont have 3rd row seating but when I was selecting the options I clicked on 3rd row. Which is a smaller panel I believe. Just trying to make sure I purchase the correct panels.
That's a great system! That fire extinguisher needs to be secured in the event of an unplanned "sudden deceleration" resulting in a "kinetic event" (a crash) or roll-over. Under those circumstances, that extinguisher becomes a lethal missile. Better yet, get the Element fire extinguishers. They are light and last a lot longer than the traditional extinguishers. You can keep them in door pockets so they're immediately accessible rather than having to go to the rear of the vehicle. Sometimes with fires, split seconds matter. Nice build!
Yeah I agree. I'm actually building an under seat one like I have in the Jeep. I want the element but man it's pricey lol
@@BaptismOverland That's pretty funny considering how much you're putting into the build. The Element puts out 3X what a regular unit does. It'll put out the fire whereas yours only might... maybe. I would think that saving your rig is worth $75. Besides, by the time you get the proper brackets installed for your current extinguisher, you'll most likely have spent more than what the Element costs. Then again, if you stick with what you have, make sure to pack a bag of marshmallows so you can toast them as you watch your rig burn. :)))
@@InGratitudeIam you're absolutely right. Small price to pay for security.
Anyone know if I could somehow just get the top section for a rav4 5th gen
The shelf? I believe they sell it individually. Just choose it fr the drop down. (I THINK). Have you contacted them?
@@BaptismOverland I did try but I don’t believe they make the shelf without the bottom brackets and they don’t make it for my car unfortunately
if you only have the side panels can you still open the 3rd row?
Should be able to yeah. It's very low profile on the sides it basically only sticks out fr the side panels by MAYBE slightly over a quarter of an inch. Just enough to slide a box wrench in between so you're def not losing space
I would still contact them to make sure though
Your wife sounds cool! 😊
Hey what LED lights do you have attached to the shelf?
I don't. Haha. That's just a couple of magnetic work lights I had laying around fr Amazon
@@BaptismOverland Damn. I was hoping you had some cool molle lights.
@@JustinWinchesteryeah would be awesome but there's tons of products out there (like KC cyclones) that can be mounted and wired up easily
How much weight is that shelf capable of holding?
It's steel so I'm guessing it should hold a good amount but I wouldn't risk putting anything too heavy. Plus the shelf is pretty high up so there's not a lot of room. Whatever CAN fit there isn't gonna weigh much unless I'm transporting barbells lol
@@BaptismOverland was wondering if you could hang stuff from it but thanks for the input🤙🏽
I thank your wife for allowing you to make this video 😅
Aye, “happy wife, happy… “ 👌🤷♂️. The Runner is looking good though brother!
You sound like me, “she ain’t gonna be happy until she gets a hot shower system”…. 😆 Guess what I’m building now. 🙄🤦♂️ Kind of what makes it great though, ya know? I loved seeing her face when she saw the awning and shower awning I installed on the rig. Nothing like having your partners support. 🤝💪
The fire extinguisher should be accessible from the driver seat if you get an accident in your pants or are you gonna stop real quick cause you’re hood on fire if you don’t wanna have to get out of the car and run around and open the back hatch to get a fire, the gates, the whole purpose of having it
Believe it or not we have two. I did a video awhile back of having a quick release under the front seat. The one in the back is great for camp if we are cooking or a campfire starts going rogue
@@BaptismOverland well that’s fantastic. I’ll cancel my OSHA report.
@@vanliferr4079😂 thanks! Don't want to be fined!
But real talk, one time I had a 12v socket that wasn't fused (rookie mistake a long time ago) that shorted out and I saw smoke going into the cabin while driving. I pulled over and opened the hood and there was a tiny fire. I used my jacket to put it out quickly and separated the wires because that was faster than grabbing the extinguisher which at the time was in the back. And I said never again.
You could say, since then, I've been neurotic about having fire protection everywhere. I won't take the chance again
👍
Too bad the design on passenger side covers the storage area
I agree.
They should have designed it as an optional extension. I like having the cubby on the right side in my '24 TRD ORP. Because this blocks it, I'd rather go a different brand.
What size rotopax do you have? I tried to fit a 2 gallon on my cali raised and it was wayy too big. Help! Haha😅
Cali raised is China but sure how much of difference between knock offs.
Well honestly before I got Cali Raised I was trying to find molle panel knock offs but none of them had the shelf (at the time) which is what my wife wanted
But you should know in the Jeep I'm running molle panel Amazon specials on the side and they work great!
Who's Funding this? This is too expensive for us small guys to do alone!
Yeah it's pretty pricey. Quality is great though. That being said there ARE Amazon Special versions that are way cheaper but no shelf option
Curious to know if anyone has compared these more expensive panels vs the $129 set from Amazon?
I have because my friend has the amazon specials lol. They're both good honestly if all you want are the sides. Fitment was fine. But the quality differed a bit as far as the bolts and the Amazon ones he had didn't have a shelf option which is what my wife really wanted.
@@BaptismOverland Thank you! This was the type of answer that I was looking for. I didn’t take the time to research metal thickness etc. with Rago, Victory etc. Much appreciated!!!
