Side panels mounted on factory roof rack

[t3lcfe]

Wait, there is more. At bottom of description portion for these panels from RCI. They do use the word "suspected", but they confirm it fits the 1958.

"Upgrade your vehicle’s exterior storage with these high-performance panels that offer strength, versatility, and a sleek design tailored for off-road adventures.
*Confirmed fit on LC250 1958

*Suspected to fit all 24+ LC250’s"

Thanks much for clarifying and that is helpful for other members.

From those “sentences” from RCI website, people can be confused. Many aftermarket companies have “similar” that kind of languages because they only real designed and tested their products on actual LC 1958 (they bought/owned for making their product). In RCI website, many skid plates for LC also have that same statement.

Read carefully, “To be used in conjunction with RCI Offroad 2024+ LC250 Roof Rack” means that RCI molle panel only works with their RCI roof rack that (roof rack) tested and confirmed fitting 2024 or newer LC250.

I think we are clear. Thanks again for your clarification, bro !

Happy LC to all

Thank you and I am back to the drawing board for these molle panels! Why can't a company just produce some like the Victory that fit our OEM rack?
Thanks for your info and clarification as well.

Hey there...my molle arrives this week so thanks again for your brilliant modification idea. I do have one final question....on your pic with the water and gas rotopax cans on your Molle panel...those are each 2 gallon cans correct? I'll need two 2 gallon rotopax cans mounted on there and wanna make sure they'll both fit on the LC molle that's arriving. I just looked and the 2 gallon can is wider than the 1 gallon can! Thanks man

I don't know if the 2 gallon can is the same dimension as the 1 gallon but just thicker than the 1 gallon can? Thanks man

Yes. Those in photo are two 2-gal Rotopax containers.
Ensure, you get another suction cups to 200% secure and balance heavy stuffs hung on that molle
I never had 1-gal Rotopax so no idea its size. You can check it on Rotopax website for size comparison

Just an FYI about the molle panels made by RCI - I spoke to them and the panels DO NOT fit on the OEM roof rack. They only fit with the RCI 250 roof rack.

Till now, as I aware of that NONE aftermarket side window molle panels are designed for OEM roof rack. They are designed to work with their particular roof racks

Last year, I was the 1st one (as I know from our forum ) decided to be a Guinea Pig to spend $500 to experiment the 4x4victory ones ( even though their website warns those are not fit OEM roof rack )
I did post and share with team here last year and many our fellows made them for themselves.
I got many private messages / calls and I showed them how to do it

Happy LC to ALL over 5 thousands members here

I know, and I may be another member here who reaches out to you for further details if I purchase those Victory and need to modify. Weighing pros/cons of doing Rotopax on side molle vs. securing on top of roof.

RCI even mentioned you today, saying LC forum members were buying the Victory 4x4 panels and figuring out how to make them work!
