I use the Rubicon seats and the tailgate OEM panel plus strap a couple to the back roll cage bars. Handles everything I need. I used long black zip ties threaded thru the slots and the MOLLE straps. Ties are easier to put thru the slots. They don't sag so the door closes fine, what I store in them either doesn't need to have the bag removed or I use smaller bags to keep different things separate in them. I wasn't going to spend $50 or $100 for something to put on the tailgate. Meets my needs at just the cost of the bags, usually off Amazon, Ebay or Walmart. Also had labels printed or us velcro tags (such as red cross for first aid bag) to keep track what is in them.

Hey Doc - Great products, I actually bought some stuff from you for my FJ way back when. I now have a 2020 JLUR with the Sky One-Touch. I can't seem to find any side mounted cargo panels that work for it. All of them are made for the hardtops. Have you looked into making anything? Thanks!

Mike, I'm not saying you did it wrong with other bags, but I figured it was worth pointing out for anyone who doesn't know since you mentioned it.
When properly installed a MOLLE bag should not sag. Many people attach things to MOLLE webbing improperly. Instead of looping the strap through the webbing of the mount surface, you should weave though the webbing of both the bag and mount. When you do this the bag will be tight to the surface and can carry a lot of weight without sagging/bouncing. By weaving correctly you can pick up a loaded ruck by the hip belt or accessory bag and it won't pull away .

I made a crude image to show how to properly weave it. In my diagram the strap is red for clarity, but obviously the strap will match the color of the bag.

I agree and did it that way on the back of the seats. But I didn't want to cut the vent holes in the swing gate cover bigger to fit the snaps through MOLLE style so I compromised. That way I can remove them and the gate cover is still original.

Allows extra storage space but is completely out of the way when not in use.

Just remember the nicer things you put on there if it can be picked up or just pulled off and stole easy then you need to think about when you take your top off if you do in the summer. We take a hardtop off and all four doors May 1st to October 1st so mine were about $10 a piece my bags if somebody wants to steal and they can have them I looked into the guy that makes the custom plates and all that panels I've got his number everybody wants it but I'm not going to put something on there that people can just steal I'm not going to pay $50 for some bags like people have he will steal that stuff it's horrible but in going wrong they do my bags for $10 off Amazon they steal them I can replace with no problem and there's nothing in those bags that's expensive you can use your cargo compartment even with the door and top off if the tailgates lock they cannot open that compartment that's where you put valuable stuff that's expensive like a battery starter like wheat the noco one we have you put that then that's $100 we keep stuff like that in there

Well, I just installed the @Springtail rear table with MPAC bags into my 2-door JLR and I have to say, I’m impressed. The instruction video was right on. The product is rattle free and VERY tight. This is my first interaction with MOLLE so learning the right weaving technique took me a little time but once I figured it out, love it! I now have all of my gear neatly in its place and don't worry about it rolling around.

The velcro on the bags is a really nice touch. Grab and go when you need a bag.

Great job Springtail Solutions!

I had nearly the exact same experience with my Springtail Solutions MPAC tailgate table install late last week. This is the 2nd Springtail table I've bought (my 2013 JKR had one as well) and I'm impressed by the improvements to the design (specifically the latches). It's very solidly built, takes good advantage of the factory mounting points, the instructions and video made for a very easy install, and the table is very sturdy and quiet. I couldn't be happier with my MPAC table from Springtail.
