TOP 5 4Runner Molle panel Storage Options

The 4runner interior since 2010 all the way to 2022 has had little to no change. Is that annoying? Yes. But let’s look at the positive, that has given Aftermarket companies years to perfect and create new innovative ways for you to take advantage of storing more Gear in the interior of your 4Runner.

This brings us to molle.  Molle is a mounting system developed by the military to make pouches and storage modular and yet still durable.  It's been in use for at least a solid 2 decades.  Molle offers thousands of compatible pouches and other mountable accessories, and it really is one of the most versatile mounting systems available. So with that being said these are the top 5 molle Products and methods to best utilize storage in your Toyota 4runner. 

REAR WINDOW CARGO MOLLE PANELS

For starters, we are going to go over molle panels that mount in the rear window of the 4runner.  The best thing about these options is that rear window on the 4runner is rarely ever used, especially as windows.  Unless you have a third row of seats, these windows don't really serve a purpose for most people.  In fact if you look it's not often you use it even to check your blind spots or see anything as the driver.  Sadly this is a really awesome large area of space that isn't really being used often. 

The good news is there are three really good options to help you take full advantage of additional storage in the rear cargo Window wells. This will give you the option to mount Gear to the molle panels and organize them as opposed to storing it in hard to get to places or floating randomly around in the back cargo area. We've had experience with or had one of these in our personal rigs at one point or another most of us, myself included currently have the Rago option in our personal 4runners. 

Option 1: Rago Fabrication Rear window Modular Storage panel:

First up is the Rago Fabrication modular molle panels, Which have been a staple mod for nearly every overland rig built on a 4runner for a long time now.  These things are SOLID.  and I mean SOLID. Rago sells these with the option of just the storage panel on the windows, or both window panels and a shelf connecting between the two. Straight from our warehouse to your doorstep Both options come powder coated black, and include everything needed to install them to any 5th gen 4runner, and even better the install absolutely could not be simpler.. don't believe us? check out this comlete install video on how to install the window side panels thats a whopping 10 minutes long... (super easy install)

This system is easy to install and doesn’t require any drilling or altering to your vehicle whatsoever. This panel was designed to withstand the toughest trails keeping your items secure. Below are pictures that will demonstrate some of the ways that you can utilize the panels as far as storing items goes. 

Option 2 Cali Raised Interior rear molle panel:

Next up is the Cali raised interior rear molle panel. This rear molle panel comes with the option of just the window panels, or window panels and a shelf between the two. This molle panel comes straight to your doorstep powder coated and with everything you need for installation. From the pictures below you can see the molle panels do look a little thinner than the rago one, but this one comes with an extended panel giving you more than just the space that takes up the window. Cali raised also gives you the opportunity to just order it from one side if that is all you want. Super convenient, and gives you the ability to be as creative as you want!

Last, but certainly not least, we have the incredible gullwing/molle panel combo from Velox Offroad!

CENTER CONSOLE MOLLE PANELS

Up next we are taking it up to the front of the rig to help utilize the empty space on your center console. Our first option is the Rago Fabrication center console modular storage panel with the option of a bridge plate. These come powder coated with either two panels and a shelf or just the two panels on your driver and passenger side. This gives you the option to mount accessories like a radio, or control switches. The low profile design will not hinder your driving experience whatsoever and will just add a better way to keep the front seat more organized. We have a video down below going over the complete install of these panels! 

The other molle option is a more minimalistic panel compared to the rago fabrication molle system. These also come powder coated with everything needed for installation. This gives you the ability to continue to mount important items you need up front, but with a minimalistic look. 

The more budget friendly options are the center console storage panels. For the best performance the area should be cleaned and then apply the panel to your desired spot with our sturdy 3m backing. This acts as more storage for much smaller items then what would go on the molle panel, but it is still sturdy enough to hold walkies, knives, phones, etc. These come in a high quality fabric with two big pockets and come as a pair for the driver and passenger side. A very simple and easy way to be able to take advantage of the empty space on the sides of your center console.
