TOP 4Runner Molle Panel Storage Solutions

TOP 4Runner Molle Panel Storage Solutions

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 inbringing 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, lets 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 purposeuntil you tap into them with smart storage systems.

Near-OEM Fit & Finish

Panels that integrate neatly into pre-existing mounting pointswithout cutting or drillingretain 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

MOLLEs 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 tippingeven during aggressive off-roading.

With those criteria in mind, lets break down the two BEVINSEE offerings that meet and exceed expectations.

 

OPTION 1: BEVINSEE Rear Overhead Storage Panel For 4Runner 20102024

Whats 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 areaready 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 fitmaking 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 waythink 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)

Whats Special

This panel turns unused C-pillar rear window space into robust, functional storagewhile 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 pointswith 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 utilitymost owners quickly wish they added another. Eventually, layer MOLLE pouches or shelf modules once youve mastered the layout.

Trail Durability

Both panels lend automotive-grade durability. The overhead panels reinforced fold and the window panels anti-flip design are built to endure trail punishment.

Consider Visibility & Safety

Installing the rear window panel still leaves enough glass for visibilityeven 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.
