    I have an OEM cargo rack and am trying to find external window Molle panels that fit the rack. I haven’t found anything yet. Suggestions?

    For an OEM rack? Doubtful there’s any premade ones out there for that. Might not be that hard to retrofit some if you’re handy with a drill bit, hack saw, and angle iron. Keep in mind that they just hang off the roof rack and are probably suction cupped to the window or sheet steel.

    They’re not super sturdy ideas to begin with (hard mount on only one end). And they’re excellent for snagging branches if you take your 4runner out to the boonies. I’d imagine even good external molle setups would get wrenched around and bent and end up breaking windows at the worst possible moment.

    They sell steel cabinets that fit into your rear quarter window that don’t stick out of the vehicle. They actually get installed just like a replacement window. That’s probably the best bet if you need a bit of extra space, since they use the space gap between the window and interior walls. They’re honestly too expensive, but so are molle panels.

    Another idea is to mount interior molle panels and cut out some access so you can store soft things between it and the window.
