Video Transcript for Kuat Narrow MOLLE Panel for Kuat Ibex Truck Bed Racks Review

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at these narrow MOLLE panels for your Kuat Ibex Truck Bed Racks. Now, these are gonna come in a couple of different configurations for different heights, such as the full height ones, or this short height one for if you're running your Ibex in this half height configuration. But if you only need to need to mount up maybe one small pouch or maybe a RotopaX, then this can be a good solution to mount that up to the side of your Ibex, but not take up too much room. And if you only need to mount up one small accessory, then going with the smaller MOLLE panels obviously is gonna save you on cost a bit, but one thing that I really like is the fact that it doesn't take up this whole side of your Ibex, leaving the option to reach into the bed and grab something out if you need to.

This truck maybe isn't the best example of that, considering how tall it is. But on something like a Tacoma, reaching into the bed and grabbing out a quick bag or something is really easy. But then also, just the fact that if you don't leave this on your truck full time, you can actually access the hardware for the clamps really easily. So removing this and reinstalling this without having to worry about things in your way, and the panel getting in the way of the clamps, is gonna be really nice. Couple of other things I like about this.

Obviously, it's aluminum construction like everything else, which keeps it corrosion resistant. But it's really strong. And I think part of that is because all the mounting locations in these four corners are so close together that there's really no room for flex or movement on this panel, compared to the larger full coverage Molly panels that do have quite a bit of flex between the mounting locations. So for me, I actually like this one a lot better. Plus, we can loosen up the hardware at the back here and slide the side to side to get it wherever we want it, so we don't have to have it up by our tailgate here.

We can put it closer to the cab if we wanted to. And that's all there is to it. I think it's gonna be a really solid option to mount up some extra accessories to the side of your Ibex. I think the full height configuration options are gonna be probably your best bet in terms of getting the most function out of an already smaller panel, but if you're running your Ibex in the half height configuration, then this is the option you've got. And I think, depending on what you have to mount up, it could work perfectly fine and you'll run into no issues.

It just comes down to what you plan on mounting, and if it's small enough to fit on this smaller size. But again, just be sure to fit the right one for whatever Ibex configuration you're running, and you'll be good to go. Thanks for watching.
