As experts in the automotive aftermarket, we know the 4Runner's interior hasn't changed much over the years, and how inefficient its trunk space can be. From the headliner to the rear quarter glass, the fifth-generation 4Runner (2010-2024) offers expansive cargo space that standard cargo solutions can't exploit. That's where MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Loading Equipment) comes in—bringing tactical-grade modularity, durability, and versatility to your everyday gear. This, in turn, has led aftermarket companies to spend years perfecting and creating new and innovative ways to maximize the 4Runner's trunk space and store even more gear.
Molle, a mounting system developed by the military, allows for modular and durable storage pockets and compartments. It's been in use for over 20 years. With thousands of compatible pockets and other mountable accessories, Molle is truly one of the most versatile mounting systems available. For a variety of reasons, we've combined the ideas above to present two of BEVINSEE's best Molle products and methods to help you maximize your Toyota 4Runner's storage space.
WHY MOLLE PANELS ARE A GAME CHANGER
Before diving into the models, let’s align on what elevates a MOLLE panel from just functional to truly “best-in-class”:
Strategic Use of Unused Real Estate
From rear window wells to overhead trim sections, these areas rarely serve a purpose—until you tap into them with smart storage systems.
Near-OEM Fit & Finish
Panels that integrate neatly into pre-existing mounting points—without cutting or drilling—retain the 4Runner's aesthetic and structural sanctity.
Steel or Aluminum Build Quality
Rugged material construction with durable powder coatings ensures long-term resistance to trail dust, moisture, and the rigors of hauling gear.
Modular, Secure Mounting
MOLLE’s webbing system lets you tailor configurations: pouches, first-aid kits, tools, radios, and more can be slotted in and locked down.
Trail-Proven Load Bearing
Panels must reliably support gear without flexing or tipping—even during aggressive off-roading.
With those criteria in mind, let’s break down the two BEVINSEE offerings that meet and exceed expectations.
OPTION 1: BEVINSEE Rear Overhead Storage Panel For 4Runner 2010–2024
What’s Special
This panel effortlessly harnesses the often forgotten overhead space near the rear coat-hook locations. Designed from rugged billet aluminum brackets and a steel panel, it delivers impressive load capacity thanks to a reinforced bend area—ready to hold pouches, soft tools, or lightweight items with ease
Installation Simplified
No cutting, drilling, or trim removal required. It mounts using your factory rear coat-hook screw holes, with locating pins and screws ensuring a rock-solid, non-tilting fit—making installation quick, seamless, and intentional
Manufacturing Excellence
CNC machining and laser-cut precision guarantee perfect alignment with factory body contours. A textured powder-coat finish adds true anti-corrosion protection while blending subtly into the vehicle's interior
Real-World Use Cases
This overhead MOLLE panel is ideal for items you want close at hand yet out of the way—think recovery straps, soft sling bags, or emergency essentials. For long trips, it's one of the most effective ways to organize gear overhead without sacrificing headroom or aesthetics.
OPTION 2: BEVINSEE Rear Window Storage Panel For 5th Gen 4Runner (2010-2024)
What’s Special
This panel turns unused C-pillar rear window space into robust, functional storage—while preserving visibility. Made from steel plate with precise laser-cut geometry, it utilizes OEM mounting holes to ensure no permanent alterations to the vehicle
Anti-Flipping Design
Its MOLLE layout cleverly resists gear shifting during bumpy rides. Whether you mount tools, flashlights, or pouches, the anti-flip pattern ensures everything stays in place even on rough off-road runs
Premium Construction
Powder-coated steel ensures lasting durability in harsh conditions. The finish protects against rust while maintaining a matte, refined interior look
Installation Highlights
Drop-in setup uses existing screw points—with no drilling or modifications. It also includes a full hardware kit (brackets, spacers, screws, nuts) for a clean, flush installation
Storage Practicality
Perfect for mounting quick-access gear like first-aid kits, radios, or trail tools. Since it hugs the C-pillar, it won't interfere with third-row seating if equipped.

Mix & Match for Maximum Utility
Consider pairing both panels for layered storage. Overhead keeps lightweight, often-used items accessibly overhead, while the rear window panels handle heavier or trail gear.
Installation Tips
- Clean mounting areas with light wipe to avoid dirt interference.
- Hand-tighten screws first, then torque to spec to avoid overtightening.
- Periodically check for hardware loosening after off-road use.
Gear Organization Strategy
Use loop-back straps or small bungee cords on MOLLE slots to secure soft pouches further. Label pouches clearly for fast identification.
Upgrade Path
Start with one panel and test its utility—most owners quickly wish they added another. Eventually, layer MOLLE pouches or shelf modules once you’ve mastered the layout.
Trail Durability
Both panels lend automotive-grade durability. The overhead panel’s reinforced fold and the window panel’s anti-flip design are built to endure trail punishment.
Consider Visibility & Safety
Installing the rear window panel still leaves enough glass for visibility—even with gear loaded. Always test sightlines to avoid blind-spot compromise.
These BEVINSEE MOLLE panel options offer high-quality workmanship, neat installation, and exceptional ease of use. Whether you choose the rear roof panel, rear window panel, or both, you can transform neglected spaces into durable storage solutions. If you enjoy exploring or off-roading during your vacations, I believe these two products will allow you to expand your storage space and bring your essentials with you, rather than leaving them lying around in the car, where they could get dirty or damaged by bumps.
