I ordered, received, and installed the JCR Offroad Tailgate Table this week and thought I would offer up my opinion on it. At the time I placed my order, JCR's estimated lead time was up to 20 days. I received my table in the mail 19 days after placing the order, so their lead time forecasting seems accurate. I was pleased with the packaging, everything was wrapped up well and the box was sturdy. Two minor blemishes in the powder coating on the molle grid (prob from the coating process since I've seen the same blemishes in other peoples photos) but I don't think it will affect anything.
Install was mostly painless. There was no included parts list or hard-copy instructions; they have a youtube install video. I found the video useful, but better time could be taken in it to show which hardware is being used. All the nuts and bolts are pretty similar in size, so just saying "using a 1/4" hex head bolt with the small washer" isn't as helpful as a close-up visual of the hardware would be. Despite uncertainty that I was using the correct hardware, install took me about 90 mins with the exception of the flat table top. By the time I got to that part, the table top had been sitting out in the sun for a bit and was too hot to handle, and probably wouldn't fit (tolerances are that tight). I set it inside and finished the job that evening. Installing the table top is fairly tedious, enough so that JCR shot and edited in a follow up video focusing on that part of the install. I eventually got it in, but it made me not want to ever remove it for any ease of access mounting molle accessories. I definitely recommend you have and use plastic automotive trim prybars; you have to pop a lot of things off and a flathead screwdriver could cause damage to panels or clips.
All in all, I think the JCR table offers the best in terms of quality and function. I like that it has a flat table top AND molle panel. It has not rattled and it feels very secure. It doesn't require any drilling and was priced competitively ($299). My only dislike is the install of the table top; if it were easier, it would make accessing the backside of the molle panel convenient.
