Bedside Rack System - Small Panel | Ford F250 (2011-2016)
Product #102302
Description
Just because you have a lot of gear, doesn’t mean you have to have a lot of mess. While standard storage might not cut it, the BuiltRight Industries Bedside Rack System can. Using the same factory mounting points, the rack system installs to keep your gear organized, easily accessible and secure. They work with all MOLLE/PALS accessories in addition to universal slots for all kinds of storage possibilities. Proudly made in USA with a Lifetime Warranty.
Engineering
In the 2011-2016 Super Duty, there are no useable threaded features towards the front of the bed, so installation of this panel requires locating the panel to use as a drill template, drilling four holes and installing the included 1/4-20 rivet nuts. Once installed, the panels provide MOLLE-compatible features for the use of MOLLE/PALS accessories in addition to universal slots for an infinite number of possibilities.
The 1/4-20 size rivet nut hardware required for each panel is included in this kit along with a very basic DIY rivet nut installation tool. For the best installation, it's recommended that you use an actual rivet nut installation tool, available on Amazon at a reasonable cost.
Install
Installation of our 2011-2016 Super Duty Bedside Rack Systems is pretty straight forward, making use of factory rear tiedown location to mount the panel and then using the four center mounting points of the panel as a drill template. You'll then carefully drill these holes and install the rivet nuts. Finally, the panel can then be fully installed using the included hardware. Front panels are installed by locating the panel wherever you prefer and then using it as it's own drill template, much like the rear panels.

'Block & Slot' Pattern
The term MOLLE has become a bit of a buzzword in recent years and many imitation products have latched onto it, simply cutting square or rectangles into their products. The BuiltRight 'Block and Slot' pattern offers slotted features, designed for use with common 1/4" mounting hardware in addition to correct MIL-SPEC MOLLE/PALS features. Finally, the BuiltRight MOLLE Nuts (sold separately) offer an additional mounting location with a 1/4-20 threaded hole for easy installation.
The Design Process
BuiltRight is an engineering company before all else and we're obsessed with great mechanical design. Each product has a story of ideas, innovation and iteration until it's just right.
Your Bedside Rack System started as a 3D scan of multiple truck beds, in order to understand the manufacturing tolerances that Ford, GM, etc hold themselves to. We then use that data along with CAD files provided by our OEM partners to design parts that will fit your truck perfectly.
Finally, we test those parts using finite element analysis on the computer before sending them out to our network of product testers around the world. Real-world testing happens in Baja, on ranches and job sites across the country and on the icy, salty roads from the Midwest to the Northeast.
