i have the smittybilt one on my jeep. i can tell you this: the bags weave through the molle loops and button down to the bags. they are secured well. now on the other hand, the molle system that attaches to the tailgate isnt the best: when i first installed it (it screws to the tailgate btw) it fit flat and tight, over time, it has began to droop inbetween the screw mounting points. still good for my purposes, when it wears out, i will not be purchasing another one.

I have the MPAC and like it alot. MPAC doesn't show it in their picture, but that vent on the right is also a perfect place to put a Molle pac as well.

Can the TJ M-PAC rack mount in a JK?
All,
After reviewing the springtails website, it would appear the TJ rack is bigger than the one built for the JK.
Assuming someone is willing to live with covering the subwoofer or any other vents, etc...
Can the TJ rack bolt onto a JK to provide more sq inches of coverage?
Thoughts?

I would think you would be just fine adding on the TJ rack to get something a little bigger since it is only about 2" bigger in each drection, but I can measure when I get home to see how much extra room there is on the door before you start getting into the sheet metal bends.

I saw the prototype and I know that I am excited to get one. It should be a good place for my i-Pod, cell phone, wallet, etc... Also my wife likes to carry a gallon sized cup while offroad, and this may be quick fisted to the rack.

Smittybilt works fine
I have the smittybilt, have for about 6 months. I have two bags (that came with it) on it and they are full of tools straps for my kayaks, first aid and other junk. I also store my flash light on it as well, no sagging no problems.
I like the springtail solution alot, but the cost was a little high for me for what I am using it for.
I will however be in line for the springtail straddle for manual transmissions- I hope it comes out a s nicely as the one for the auto did.
