I was contacted by @TRUMGETA to provide an honest review for a few of their products. First product delivered was the TRUMGETA 5FT Side Bed Molle Panel for Tacoma 2024-2025+ (2Pcs). I'll cut to the chase and give me first impression. They... look... FANTASTIC! I've been looking to add some panels to my truck for a while so this met a want that I had.
Now for the review part. I'll start by saying the instructions were mostly very clear and concise. The few parts that didn't make sense to me at the time could've probably been avoided had I read all the steps ahead of time (who does that though
). One thing that delayed me a bit was my tonneau cover. I had to remove the rails for the cover to fit the molle panels properly. This is in no way a criticism on the panels or the installation. I just wanted to note that so people know what to expect when they do this installation. I will say that it's entirely possible that other covers would fit just fine while installing the molle panels.
Now for the install itself, the process was really straightforward and the panels anchor down to the bed rail and some of the OEM screws. The front of the panels, closest to the cab, anchor to the OEM anchor hook and the back of the panels anchor to the screws at various points in the bed. The provided screws and spacers account for the extra distance between the bed and the molle panels so that was very nice. The screws that lock the molle panels to the bed rails are really nice and hold really well. My one SMALL complaint was that there were no washers included. Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but I think I'll go back and add a washer to the points where the molle panels anchor to the bed. Other than that, the install was super easy!
I'll have to put the panels to the test on one of my next trips but as far as the install, it was a breeze! As I said at the beginning they look great and they feel really sturdy. I'm looking forward to the arrival of the front molle panel and the tailgate bed pad. I'll keep everyone posted!
UPDATE:
Got the front molle installed! This install was even easier than the side molle panels. The hardest part was getting the OEM bottom bolts are. Installer beware! Those screws will strip SUPER easy to strip so be very careful when removing them. Mine had spray on bedliner so I almost stripped the screws until I realized I had to peel off the spray on liner. That being said, once I got those bolts off, the install was a BREEZE. I love the way the truck looks and, another hidden benefit, is that they protect the drain hoses from my tonneau cover. I always had an issue where I'd hit them if I was pushing stuff to the front of the bed. I couldn't be happier with this product!
