    I'd like to add some MOLLE panels to my DCLB so I don't have to hear stuff sliding around back there. Has anyone got first hand experience with side MOLLE panels for the bed that work with a Lomax cover installed in the bed rails?

    I'm also open to other storage ideas to secure some stuff in the bed. Nothing major, I usually keep a small socket set, a bag of ratchet straps and tie downs, and the tow hitch when it's not in use, but I'd like to be able to secure luggage for road trips, too.

    I think Caliraised has some along with other manufacturers. That's just the first one that came to mind

    I saw their panels, just not sure if the mounting points to the rail will interfere with the mounting points for the tonneau cover or not.

    Like, so many.
    They interfere a little bit, but you can make it work. I had to dremmel the mounting brackets for my tonneau a little bit on one side to make them work. It's a tight fit, but it does fit.

    Not ideal, but I can live with it.

    I have the CaliRaisedLED bed molle panel with a Bakflip tonneau cover and it works very well!

    The Lomax would work fine with a front bed panel too, it's the side rails I'm unsure about.

    Cool. I was wondering if their front panel would work w/ my BAKflip. They have a side panel specifically for the lowered rails but it seems to cover the whole rail.

    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.
    I am fully outfitted with Cali Raised Molles on sides and front of my DCLB and run a Lomax hard cover. There is no issue whatsoever with the molles or the tonneau. If you need some specific pics, let me know and I'll getchya some!

    Just curious, what was the reasoning behind making it a two-piece vs. single piece panel?

    Ensures safer shipping and more support with bolts in the middle of the molle panel!
