Upgraded from Ford tailgate molle to the BROADDICT tailgate table

[mjp2]

Even the moar-doors need additional storage. Coming from an Expedition EL it was the first thing I looked to address when I got my Bronco.

There was a good deal on the Ford tailgate molle panel, so I picked one up and it's served me fine, though it does look a bit cheap.

Fortunately the bags are good, so they're carrying forward to the new BROADDICT tailgate molle panel.

Installation was a breeze. Start by removing what's already in place:

I organized the hardware that came with the kit. Loosely installing the washers and nuts makes it easier to get those anchor studs in place.

Top and bottom anchor studs in place. I had move the lower studs slightly from what's in this photo but it was easy enough.

Top brackets bolted up with nylocs:

And then just bolt up the table. It was a simple 1-person installation. Lining up the bottom mounts was easy because of the way things pivot. You can hold it horizontal and easily see what needs to move without having contort into weird angles to get a good visual. The installation instructions are all photos without measurements so being able to see how everything should line up was key.

Upper table in place:

All folded up. The metal clasps are properly tight and secure. Hitting it with my hand I couldn't make it rattle.

All loaded up and ready to go:

Table set up with all the bags still mounted. Shown are the tools I used for installation. Like I said, this one was easy.

I'm really happy with this table. It pairs perfectly with the window molle panels I bought from @BA OffRoad several months ago. They make a quality product

Now I have even more reason to look forward to my next beach trip

Thanks for sharing. I have the Ford setup and was debating about doing the same setup you did, I'm sold now.

Much nicer than the Ford accessory folding table and the second half-shelf level is a nice touch the Ford version doesn't have. My biggest gripe with the Ford accessory is having to drill 4 holes in your tailgate and then use the crap-tatstic hardware they provide to mount it. I ended up making a trip to the hardware store for higher quality hardware. And now that I have the table, I never use it anyway!

I don't mind drilling into the vehicle when there's a clear benefit (In the near future I'll be installing the rear roll cage nutserts that didn't come on my truck from the factory) but having this panel/table bolt right up without modification was nice.

I suspect I'll be using the table quite a bit, but even as a simple molle panel it's miles ahead of the soft Ford panel. The sticky-back Velcro strips that held the Ford piece in place weren't thrilled about staying stuck to the bedliner anyway.

Nice setup. I went with that table also and love it. Have you looked at the IAG compressor that fits perfectly in the space to the right of the table Where you have the molle cover?

That's a really nice solution but I'm already running a dual compressor mounted under the hood.

I used the heck out of the @BA OffRoad tailgate table this weekend while working on some interior modifications.

I kept piling on the tools and it never budged. By the end of the project I had everything on there without concern.
