Does anyone have experience with 500 denier Cordura nylon? I'm thinking of using it as headliner material. I want something that's not going to rip like the stock headliner fabric.

 

I like the way you are thinking. We do a lot of kydex with Molle adapters at the knife shop. I think if you can do it you will have great additional overhead storage. Sewing Molle straps all over you could put anything on it. I agree I think it would be more durable. Also...who wouldn't want to do it. I may look into this idea. Since it would be unlimited in adjustability you could move stuff as needed. It would sure beat screwing something in place ( like a flashlight holder) just to decide you wanted to move it. Unlike Velcro... Molle is super strong when in place. Nice thread!

 

I was just thinking of just using the Cordura Nylon. I wasn't thinking of using it for Molle. I wondering how well the Nylon would hold to the headliner board unless I use some type of cement glue

 

I don't think 500 will stretch and follow the headliner contours like headliner fabric, which is pulled, stretched, and bubbles rolled out after application of headliner foam/ tack adhesive. I work with 1000D and no way would it conform to headliner and probably it would drop due to the fabrics weight. Coated fabric may trap condensate under the roof and I'm not sure the tack adhesive wouldn't leach thru uncoated fabric. I'd try a small piece before buying a few yards cause fabric isn't cheap.

 

Is there 250

 

I have some and am using it to make seat covers. But being in the military almost all my gear is made of it. It's strong stuff man

 

Really glad I came across this thread. Currently active USMC 6469 and have plenty of gear for this molle system to come in handy

 

lots of eye candy in here - another tactical ***** here

 

I think my first post was in this thread, so 1000 posts later here is all of my current MOLLE in one post. I also have acquired some steel cage material for my rear windows.

 

What would everyone think of a metal panel that fits over the cubby hole and has a piano hinge at the top so it would flip up?

 

I got the M21-04 love it.

 

This thread is awesome, but Im weary of having a bunch of stuff thats easy to see inside my jeep after being broken into and all of my things stolen. Especially knives, flashlights and things that look like they could be valuable.

 

How's the plastic you guys are bolting onto holding up? I'm concerned they'll crack or warp because of the weight.

 

It's been almost 1.5 years since I installed my MOLLE webbing with no issues. I think the washers are really important to distributing the weight. My etool is the heaviest thing I have on there and it's holding fine.

@ Tarenrack- Tinted windows seem to help with your worries. I've never had anything taken out of my XJ. Plus my MOLLE sun visors hide the cool stuff when not in use.

 

Yeah, I figure my etool, first aid kit, bags 'o tools... I just don't want the plastic to crack at the holes or warp it beyond fit.
