Front Door Pocket Molle Panels for The 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler JL & 2020-2025 Jeep Gladiator JT | Rigid Steel Design Replaces The Weak Saggy Net | DV8 Offroad

Very quality build and an easy install after watching how-to videos. I couldn’t believe I did it as quickly as I did. Night and day difference to the flimsy netting. I can now actually keep my road atlases in the door—-easy access. Plus have a place to put extra beverages. You MUST get these!! I put these on all four doors of myJeep JL. I ordered the DV8 netting replacements for the back of each front bucket seat. Those have not arrived yet.I watched quite a few videos on how to install these. The metal and netting comes out very easy—-almost! Some people actually ripped the netting off the doors and took a little piece of the plastic with them. Some used box cutters to cut the remaining netting off of the door panel instead of pulling the remaining bit which I liked. I pulled the netting and the metal rod as much as I could, which left just a little bit of the netting on each side of the frame. I then used a sharp scissor to cut the fabric netting as I did not want to scratch the door panel plastic. A very easy install after that. You really need to watch some YouTube videos first before you do this, though.

No more saggy door bags. I like these, however the driver side kick out, kind of hit my ankle.

I will start by saying that this is a purchase that I would make again, because I did. One set for the full doors, and one for the half doors after I saw how nice they were. This review does not cover the rear door option, nor the "slim" front door option. For reference, I have a 2021 JL Islander with manually-operated cloth seats.Starting with their packaging. They are REALLY well packed and padded in a thick cardboard box. DV8 Offroad really wants these to arrive in great shape. Kudos.Installation. In the video, they show using power tools. DO NOT use power tools, at least NOT to re-install the door screws. It would be WAY too easy to strip them. When it comes to removing the door netting, I would just be slow and methodical about stretching out the net as much as you can, and using small, sharp scissors, cutting one string at a time. Also, do this with the top piece of the netting. What ends up left in the door will easily go back behind the trim. I left the wire in for 3 out of 4 doors. The one that I did try to remove felt like I was pulling the door apart. If you really want that wire out, take the door skin out and disassemble things the right way.I would recommend using a panel tool to open the gap between the net trim and the door panel, as these can be a little difficult to wrangle into position into the door pockets. It's a tight fit, which is good. This is a rattle-free product!These are not cheaply built. The finish is really nice. It is a matte black, but I did scratch one when I dropped it on the driveway. My bad for not putting down some cardboard or a towel or something while I was installing them. The scratch didn't get down to bare metal, and a quick dab of flat black touch-up paint fixed the scuff. The steel itself is reasonably thick, and probably wont't bend too easily.My impressions on the unit itself? I can't see the Molle panels on the front door units being useful. Anywhere I would put something on the "outside" of them would hit the seats or my leg, as you can see from the pictures. It DOES look nice, and saves weight, I guess. The driver's seat can be slid all the way forward before there's contact between the seat and the bump-out where I put water bottles, so short drivers- rejoice! If you want to make adjustments to the lumbar or seat-back angle, you'll have to do that with the door open. Also, don't leave the seat in the full-forward, rear-seat access position and shut the door. You will bend or break things. As far as it touching my leg? I drive with the seat slid fully back, have a dead-pedal for my left leg, and when I drive, my calf just touches this. I can live with it.BONUS- I don't know if DV8 planned this, but the holes in the bottom for the mounting tabs have just enough room to act a as a drain if you get caught in the rain!Deducted one star because a lot of the marketing pictures showed this with big Molle accessories mounted on the outside. (With the door open, of course!) There's not enough room. Otherwise, a solid 5-star product!

Exactly as described

Easy install 10 minutes Great product

Guys, don't you hate it, as age sets in, your nets start to hang low. It's embarrassing, really. My nets starting drooping so low, they were getting caught in the door jamb! Ouch! After a while though, you get numb to it, and before you know it you're driving down the highway with your nets hanging out. That's not good. Well, these DV8 Panels are the perfect solution for all of this. Don't wait until your nets start to hang low. It's inevitable, so be proactive and get these panels now and be done with it.I have only medicocre handyman skills (I'm that guy that turns every minor project into an all day affair), but it literally took me 10 minutes to install these on 4 doors. Watch some YouTube videos and you'll be fine. To remove the stock netting, grab a pair of pliers and start with the thicker upper band, pull moderately hard, yank it out of the channel. Then work your way down, pulling the netting, you will soon see a metal wire come out. Grab that wire with your pliers and keep pulling, you'll gradually make your way to the opposite end. Then remove the torx screws (front doors have 2 screws, back doors have 1). Now take the DV8 panel and work the tabs into the channel, don't be afraid to push hard, to make sure it gets fully seated. Attach the provided clips with the original screws. If the clips don't want to line up properly, that's an indication you don't have the tabs fully seated. In which case, push harder on the panel to get it fully inserted.That's it folks. 10 minutes. No more saggy nets.Bonus points to DV8 for packaging these things in such a way they would survive a nuclear blast.

Love them. Have to be mindful that the pockets come out when you aren’t used to that. But I’d say they look 1000 percent better than the cargo net. Would buy again!!
