Threw this on the passenger side of the Bronco's center console today. Install took about 5-10 minutes and didn't require any drilling. It matches the Mountains2Metal front door panel pockets nicely and adds some extra space for customizing. Overall I'm pretty happy with it and everyone I've shown seemed to like it.

I ordered the D from arch racing. I wonder if this will fit with that

Honestly, I am not sure. It depends on how close the geometry is to the stock handle.

Does the seat rub against the panel?

That's awesome. Quick question because it's hard to tell from your photo - How much room is in-between the metal and and the actual console? Will a button from a molle pouch fit through?

You have roughly +/- 3/8" throughout. At the bottom, it does get closer since it hooks to the bottom of the plastic panel. If you can't get a button through, the whole assembly can be removed in a couple minutes. That makes it much easier to mount more permanent options.

Can you send a link to the item and site? I want to do the exact same set up.

That is a very well thought out accessory. Just added to my list of things to buy once I get my Bronco.

I received my molle panel from M2M. Very disappointed. The panel holes aren’t quite right to lineup in the front. Makes the panel buckle a little bit. since the hole in the front was slightly misaligned it also made the screw impossible to seat. The screws were very difficult to seat fully in the front location (where you remove the factory 7 mm bolt). They should’ve also given you longer screws to go in to the grab handle location. I had to go to Home Depot to buy better hardware as the Allen screw that they provided began to strip since the fit was so poor with the panel. I replaced it with a proper hex bolt. I had to use pliers to back the Allen head out since it had stripped. And yes - I am very competent mechanic and I did not strip or cross thread the bolt. It’s just a poor fit.
Speaking of the grab handle location, when you screw the molle panel in and tighten it down, the panel is thin gauge - thin enough sheet metal that the panel actually bends in around the bolt heads. Admittedly I screwed them in tight, but since it’s a grab handle you need to.
Lastly, when I received mine there were some chips in the finish. I had to get a black textured paint to touch it up before putting it into the bronco.
Bottom line, not thrilled with the purchase.

This is the first issue we've heard with the screw we provided with the Center Console MOLLE. We provided a screw that was long enough to put in with the provided spacer. As far as the screws for the grab handle go, we worked with one customer on an issue. After measuring and comparing "Bronco" bolts, we found that his Bronco had the wrong screws put on his grab handle. The correct "Bronco" bolts were on his passenger side grab handle. He switched them and the Center Console MOLLE and his grab handle were on there very tight. When everything is installed correctly, the part should hook in place at the bottom and all holes will line up. The hole near the footwear is slightly slotted to make install easier.

For the paint. All of these parts are inspected several times during the fabrication process. I'm not sure if this was damaged during shipping and the paint was scratched. We would have gladly replaced this.
