Learn how to install a ROAM Molle Panel on your Rugged Case in a few simple steps. Get organized gear storage with the 83L or 105L panel.
Quick answer
Install a ROAM Molle Panel on your Rugged Case by aligning it with the threaded inserts, securing it with the included hardware, and then attaching your pouches.
Why use a Molle Panel?
A Molle Panel turns the flat lid or wall of your Rugged Case into a customizable mounting surface. Instead of digging through a pile of gear, you can attach pouches, tools, and accessories directly to the panel for quick access. The ROAM aluminum panels are rigid and durable, so they hold their shape even when fully loaded.
Installation steps
- 1. Prepare your case: Open your Rugged Case and locate the threaded inserts on the lid or wall where you want to mount the panel. Wipe the surface clean. Check that your case has threaded inserts—not all Rugged Cases include them.
- 2. Align the Molle Panel: Position the ROAM Molle Panel over the inserts so the mounting holes line up. The panel should sit flat. If the panel doesn't align, double-check that you have the correct size for your case.
- 3. Secure with hardware: Insert the provided screws or bolts through the panel holes and into the threaded inserts. Tighten them by hand until snug, then use a screwdriver for a final quarter turn. Do not overtighten—stripping the aluminum threads is a common mistake.
- 4. Attach your pouches: Weave the MOLLE straps on your pouches through the panel slots. Start from the top and work your way down for a tight fit. Leave a little slack at first so you can adjust the pouch position before cinching it down.
