How to Mount Quick Fists on a MOLLE Panel Using MOLLE Nuts

How to install quick fists on a Molle panel

Installing gear on a MOLLE panel can be quick, clean, and secure with the right technique. One of the best ways to mount Quick Fist clamps is by using MOLLE nuts. Below, I’ll walk you through exactly how to do it, along with some extra tips and options if you want even more flexibility for your setup. Materials Needed Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Run the Bolt Through the Quick Fist Start by running a bolt of the correct length through the mounting hole of the Quick Fist. ➡️ Tip: Make sure it’s long enough to pass through both the Quick Fist and the MOLLE panel and still catch the MOLLE nut securely. 2. Thread the MOLLE Nut Onto the Bolt Loosely thread a MOLLE nut onto the end of the bolt — but don’t tighten it yet. You’ll need it to remain loose to fit it through the panel opening. 3. Insert Through the MOLLE Panel Position the MOLLE nut so it fits through the slot on your MOLLE panel. The nut should slip into the panel opening with some minor wiggling if needed. 4. Tighten Everything Down Once the MOLLE nut is in place behind the panel and everything is aligned, tighten the bolt. As you do, the MOLLE nut will “wedge” and lock into place, securing your Quick Fist clamp tightly. Why Use MOLLE Nuts? MOLLE nuts create a strong “wedge” fitment that holds your accessories securely without needing backing plates or complicated hardware. They also make it easy to reposition your mounts later without having to remove your whole MOLLE panel. Different MOLLE Nut Options I’ve used several types of MOLLE nuts across different panels: Where to Buy Final Thoughts Mounting Quick Fists to your MOLLE panel with MOLLE nuts is a simple and reliable upgrade that keeps your gear secure and easily accessible. Whether you’re setting up recovery gear, tools, or other essentials, this method makes it fast, clean, and modular. If you’re setting up a build or considering a full MOLLE storage system, this is a technique you’ll definitely want in your toolbox!

Redbox Videri tv screen topper

If you’ve ever rented a movie from a Redbox kiosk, you may have noticed digital screen topper looping through ads, movie trailers, and promos on some of the newer indoor models. These aren’t just dumb screens — they’re powered by Videri digital signage tech. I was able to purchase one when I bought my Redbox kiosk. From Redbox to Videri Canvas Once you remove the screen from the Redbox metal enclosure, you’re left with the actual Videri Canvas display — a commercial-grade smart screen designed to run proprietary content from Videri’s platform. It’s running locked-down software out of the box, but here’s where things get fun: modders have figured out how to jailbreak these. That’s right — there’s an entire community of hobbyists and tech tinkerers who are breathing new life into these displays, repurposing them for custom dashboards, media players, smart signage, and more. Opening Up the Back Panel To get inside, start by removing the small Phillips-head screws from the back panel of the Videri screen. Once the back cover is off, you’ll have access to a few different internal circuit boards, one of which is especially important — the one with a Micro USB 3.0 port. Here is where you will find the Micro USB 3.0 port on the Redbox Videri screens. This port is your gateway. You’ll need to connect an OTG hub here. Your hub will include: Once connected, you’re in a good position to begin exploring or attempting a jailbreak — which is exactly what I plan to do next. Join the Community If you’re diving into this project too, I highly recommend checking out the Redbox.wiki — it’s full of helpful documentation and teardown photos from other users. Even better, join the Redbox Modding Discord community, where people are actively sharing updates, jailbreak methods, custom builds, and troubleshooting help. It’s the best place to collaborate with others who are unlocking the potential of these discarded displays. Stay Tuned… Now that I’ve got access to the internals and confirmed OTG functionality, I’ll be exploring possible jailbreak options and testing what this thing can really do. This is just the beginning. Have any questions, or are you modding one yourself? Drop a comment below or hit me up. I’d love to see what others are doing with these screens!

Tesla PowerShare – What is It?

tesla powershare installed in garage

Tesla’s PowerShare system offers an innovative solution for homeowners seeking reliable backup power by enabling their Cybertruck to supply electricity to their homes during outages. This integration ensures that essential appliances and systems remain operational when the grid goes down. Cost of the PowerShare Gateway and Installation A standard PowerShare installation requires a Tesla Gateway 3V and a Universal Wall Connector. The installation cost varies based on the configuration and complexity of the setup. Tesla estimates the installation cost ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, excluding the cost of equipment. However, several owners have found largely inflated estimates from electricians. For precise pricing, it’s advisable to consult a Tesla Certified Installer who can assess your home’s specific requirements. Owner Experiences and Reported Issues One major annoyance is you’re currently unable to test your PowerShare immediately after installation. You have to wait for Tesla to apparently manually configure a few things on their end, which for most users, seems to be at least 3 days after installation. It would be great to have the ability to ensure everything is functional before your electrician leaves. Hopefully Tesla changes this in the future. Alternative Options: Manual Transfer Switches For those exploring other backup power solutions, manual transfer switches present a viable alternative. These devices allow homeowners to connect a generator to their home’s electrical system manually during outages. The cost to install a manual transfer switch typically ranges from $400 to $1,300, depending on the complexity and regional labor rates. While more affordable, manual transfer switches require users to engage the system manually during a power loss, which may not be as seamless as Tesla’s automated solution. The Cybertruck’s power outlets will also turn off after 12 hours. Customer Service and Support Tesla’s customer service for PowerShare installations involves coordination with Certified Installers. The overall experience can vary based on the chosen installer and regional factors. Some users have expressed concerns about communication and clarity regarding installation requirements, especially when integrating multiple Tesla energy products. Is the PowerShare System Worth It? Deciding whether the PowerShare system is a worthwhile investment depends on individual needs and circumstances. For Cybertruck owners seeking a seamless and integrated backup power solution, PowerShare offers the convenience of utilizing their vehicle’s battery to power their home. However, it’s essential to consider the installation costs and potential complexities, and any reported issues. Comparatively, manual transfer switches offer a more budget-friendly option but lack the automation and integration of Tesla’s system. While manual transfer switches are substantially cheaper, it really comes down to convenience and how much you’re willing to pay for some more automation. Since the Powershare hardware was included in the Foundation Series edition of the Cybertruck, I opted to go with the PowerShare. The quotes I received for installation were certainly more than I wanted to pay, however, allowing my wife and kids not to have to worry about manually connecting anything if they were home when I wasn’t was a big plus for me. In conclusion, potential users should thoroughly assess their home’s compatibility, consult with certified installers for accurate quotes, and weigh the benefits against the costs to determine if Tesla’s PowerShare system aligns with their backup power needs.

Redbox Mods: Rescuing and Repurposing a Redbox Kiosk for Home Use

For years, Redbox kiosks were a familiar sight outside grocery stores and gas stations, offering DVD and Blu-ray rentals at the push of a button. However, with the rise of streaming services, Redbox struggled to stay relevant. In June 2024, its parent company, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, filed for bankruptcy, leaving thousands of these kiosks abandoned. Many Redbox kiosks have already been scrapped, but a small group of enthusiasts, including myself, have stepped in to preserve and repurpose them. If you’re curious how to obtain a Redbox for home use or are curious about Redbox mods, hacks, and reverse engineering, this post will walk you through my experience of acquiring one and my plans for bringing it back to life. How to Obtain a Redbox for Home With many kiosks being decommissioned, several have been some scrapped. Some are available from private sellers, or direct negotiations with store/property managers. If you’re interested in how to obtain a Redbox for home use, we’ll post an article with more tips later. However, be prepared—these machines are heavy, often requiring a truck and at least two people to move them. Some have even been able to get a kiosk into a minivan. I purchased a fully intact Redbox kiosk, complete with a 6-card topper and a digital Videri TV screen topper through a Craigslist ad. The plan? To get it functional for personal use and explore Redbox reverse engineering to unlock its full potential. Redbox Mods & Hacks: What’s Possible? The ultimate challenge with Redbox mods is figuring out how to bypass the proprietary software and hardware restrictions. While Redbox operated on a closed system, there are several potential ways to repurpose these kiosks: Redbox Resources Two of the best resources on Redbox kiosks I’ve found are Redbox.wiki and the Redbox Tinkering Discord Channel. The Future of Redbox Kiosks While these kiosks might not be considered nostalgic just yet, in 10–20 years, they could become sought-after collector’s items—much like vintage Coke machines, Jukeboxes, etc. Since most kiosks are being scrapped, those that remain will only become rarer over time. If you’re interested in Redbox hacks or have experience working with these kiosks, be sure to comment below! Stay tuned as I document my journey into repurposing this piece of movie rental history. Next steps for me are to try and get the software loaded to load and dispense movies and get the Videri display functional. Since I have the kiosk at our cabin, it will be a bit of a slow project.

Buying an M1101 Military Trailer

2006 raytheon m1101 military trailer

I just picked up my own M1101 from an auction in Oregon. I’ve been looking for one of these trailers for about 4-5 months, but unfortunately, most of them tend to be up for military auction in states like Colorado, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I missed out on the first one that popped up in Oregon, and when a second became available, I ended up increasing my budget—more than I initially wanted to pay. However, it was still cheaper than what I was finding on other sites such as Craigslist. I also received quotes to have one shipped out of Colorado to Washington state, but those were coming in at $1,300+, quite a bit more than I was willing to pay for shipping. Picking up my M1101 from Auction Most of the trip to get the trailer included temperatures in the low to mid-20s, never ideal for driving an EV, let alone while towing a trailer and also going through mountain passes with elevation climbs. I ended up charging 6 different times on the trip, 4 of which were on the way back. Despite the challenges, the journey was worth it, and I’m excited to share more about this versatile trailer and its potential for civilian use. A Brief History of the M1101 (and M1102) The M1101 trailer was developed as part of the military’s modernization efforts to provide a durable and highly mobile transport solution. Designed to be towed behind the Humvee (HMMWV), it features an aluminum body, independent torsion suspension, and a high ground clearance. These features make it ideal for rugged terrain, allowing it to traverse areas that standard civilian trailers may struggle with. The M1101 has a maximum payload of 2,740 lbs and an empty weight of around 1,460 lbs, making it both lightweight and capable. The M1101 military trailer, originally designed for the U.S. military, has become an increasingly popular choice for civilians looking to build capable off-road and overlanding setups. With its robust construction, high payload capacity, and versatility, the M1101 provides a solid foundation for a variety of outdoor applications. Whether it’s for hauling gear, setting up a mobile campsite, or supporting off-grid adventures, this military-grade trailer is proving its worth in the civilian world. Where to Buy Military Trailers If you’re looking to buy a military trailer at auction, one of the most common places in the United States is going to be govplanet.com. There will also be some of the more common marketplaces for private party sales such as Craigslist, FaceBook MarketPlace, etc. Sites like Trailer Trader may also have postings from time to time. I’ve used Listshopper which pulls results from multiple sites, but at least for these trailers, they primarily tend to be Craigstlist results. M1102 The trailer also comes in an M1102 variant. The consensus online appears to be that they are in fact identical except for the data plate. The M1101 and M1102 are designed for specific Humvee’s, and based on those configurations, some Humvee’s had a higher towing capacity. The data plate merely states which trailer (and load capacity) can be used with a give Humvee. Both models are sold at military surplus auctions. Civilian Uses and Overlanding Conversions Many outdoor enthusiasts and overlanding fans have embraced the M1101 as the base for their adventure trailers. Its large cargo area and high durability make it ideal for customization. Some of the most common civilian uses and modifications include: Rooftop Tent and Rack Systems Many owners install custom rack systems to support rooftop tents, providing an elevated sleeping area away from ground moisture and wildlife. These setups often include annexes for additional covered living space. Solar and Off-Grid Power Solutions Since overlanding often involves extended stays in remote locations, solar panel setups are a popular modification. Mounted either on the trailer itself or on an adjustable rack, these solar setups provide power for refrigerators, lighting, and charging electronic devices. Cooking and Storage Solutions M1101 conversions often include slide-out kitchen setups with propane stoves, storage drawers, and fold-down workspaces. This transforms the trailer into a fully functional base camp for extended trips. Pressurized Water Systems Some owners incorporate water storage tanks with pressurized systems, allowing for showers, dishwashing, and other conveniences while off the grid. These setups often include filtration systems to make water safe for drinking. Challenges and Modifications for Civilian Use While the M1101 is a fantastic trailer, converting it for civilian use does come with a few challenges. 24V to 12V Lighting Conversion Since the M1101 was designed for military vehicles, it comes equipped with a 24-volt electrical system. Most civilian vehicles operate on a 12-volt system. Therefore, most use-cases, the trailer’s stock lighting needs to be replaced or adapted. Many owners swap out the military lights for standard 12V LED lights or use voltage converters to integrate the trailer’s system with their tow vehicle. Height Considerations Another issue with the M1101 is its height. Designed to sit level behind a high-clearance Humvee, the trailer is often much taller than civilian tow vehicles. This can lead to issues with tongue height and towing stability. Many owners modify the trailer by fabricating a drop hitch (either keeping the lunette ring or going to a ball setup), using a raised hitch, and/or swapping out the 37-inch military tires for smaller off-road tires, or even going to other means to lower trailer to a more manageable height. After hooking up, there’s clearly a substantial forward rake with my setup. I ordered a 6″ raised hitch for now and also plan to go down to 35″ tires to match the Cybertruck. Conclusion The M1101 military trailer is a rugged, durable, and highly adaptable platform for overlanding and off-road adventures. While it requires some modifications for civilian use, its ability to handle rough terrain and support extensive customization makes it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts. Whether it’s for camping or simply hauling gear, the M1101 provides a military-grade solution for any adventure. Step 1 of buying the trailer and

Creating a Custom Cybertruck Vault Shelf with 3D-Printed Brackets and Milwaukee Packout Wall Mounts

cybertruck custom milwaukee packout vault shelf

The Tesla Cybertruck’s vault provides a massive storage space, but maximizing its usability requires some creativity. I recently designed and installed a custom shelf in the vault using 3D-printed brackets, extruded aluminum, and Milwaukee Packout wall plates. Here’s how I did it and what I learned along the way. Why Build a Custom Shelf? While the aftermarket currently has a couple molle shelf options for the vault, I felt they were a bit pricey at around $500 and didn’t quite provide what I wanted. I was looking at a modular, durable, and efficient way to store tools and gear—enter the Milwaukee Packout system. My goal was to create a shelf that securely mounts Packout wall plates while keeping the vault’s floor space open for larger items. Materials Used The Build Process Step 1: Designing the 3D-Printed Brackets The key component of this build was the custom 3D-printed brackets that attach to the Cybertruck’s L-Track system. Instead of using bolts, I designed a wedge-fit mechanism with slots that securely engage with the L-Track, preventing movement. However, bolts can still be added for extra security if needed. Each bracket was also designed with slots for T-slot nuts and bolts, allowing easy mounting of the extruded aluminum frame. Step 2: Mounting the Extruded Aluminum For the shelf’s structure, I used 2040 extruded aluminum. Initially, I planned to mount it flat, but I found it had too much flex. Switching to a vertical orientation significantly improved rigidity. The aluminum was attached to the brackets using T-slot nuts and bolts, ensuring a strong, adjustable connection. This was the Aluminum Extrusion Hardware Accessories I purchased from Amazon. While the description stated “not easy to rust”, if I see any signs of corrosion I’ll look at getting a different set. Step 3: Installing the Milwaukee Packout Wall Plates With the aluminum frame securely in place, I mounted two Milwaukee Packout wall plates. These provide a rock-solid base for stacking Packout toolboxes, organizers, and storage bins, making it easy to customize my vault storage. Lessons Learned and Future Improvements Current Milwaukee Packout Cybertruck Setup These are the Milwaukee Packout cases I currently have. A 106 piece Milwaukee socket set, drill bit set, and a Packout case I currently store some of my Molle panel mounting accessories in. Final Thoughts One of the biggest advantages of this custom setup is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to aftermarket solutions, which can be quite expensive. If you have access to a 3D printer, this DIY approach with brackets and extruded aluminum was far more affordable while still offering durability and functionality. The modular design, durability, and Packout compatibility make it a game-changer for anyone looking to maximize their Cybertruck’s storage potential. If you’re considering a similar setup, 3D printing custom brackets combined with extruded aluminum and Packout mounts is a solid solution. We’re going to make a few small adjustments to the design, but will likely upload these brackets to one (or multiple) of the 3D file sharing sites such as MakerWorld. Stay tuned for future updates as I refine the design and test its weight capacity! Have Questions or Suggestions? Let me know in the comments! Would you build something similar in your Cybertruck?

How to Install a MOLLE Panel in the Tesla Cybertruck’s Frunk

The frunk of the Tesla Cybertruck offers a unique storage space, and adding a MOLLE panel is a great way to keep your gear organized. This DIY project is straightforward and provides a custom solution to making the most of your Cybertruck’s storage. Here’s how I installed a MOLLE panel using quick disconnect fasteners, along with some tips to make the process easier. NOTE: This does require drilling into a factory panel. Materials Used: Step 1: Test fit where you want to install the MOLLE You’ll want to make sure there was enough clearance for the frunk to close based on where you plan to mount the MOLLE panel. I also wanted to make sure there was enough space not to rub at the bottom of the frunk. I took some measurements, but also used small blocks to prop it up at one point to ensure the frunk would close without issue. Step 2: Remove the Frunk Panel The first step is to remove the plastic frunk panel. The panel merely snaps into place. There’s a couple slots at the bottom that can help give you a grip. This gives you full access to the space where the MOLLE panel will be installed. Optionally, you could use a trim removal tool. Step 3: Test Fit the MOLLE Panel Once the panel was removed, I test-fitted the MOLLE panel again to determine the ideal height and positioning. This helped me visualize how the panel would sit and made sure it wouldn’t interfere with the frunk’s operation. Step 4: Mark the Mounting Points I temporarily attached the quick disconnect bolts and used a pencil to mark the drill points on the plastic frunk panel. Taking this step ensures the panel will align perfectly when mounted and that my spacing is correct. Step 5: Measure Twice, Drill Once After marking the drill points, I double-checked all measurements. Once everything was confirmed, I drilled the mounting holes. Remember, accuracy here is key to avoid any alignment issues. Step 6: Attaching the Quick Disconnect Hardware I had some excess threadlocker you’ll see in the picture that was later wiped off. I had some excess threadlocker you’ll see in the picture that was later wiped off. NOTE: Depending on your hole locations, you may need to sand or grind down the honeycomb reinforcement pattern for your hardware to attach flush. A tool such as a Dremel or oscillating tool can work well. In my case, the bolts were quite long and I ended up cutting them down with an angle grinder to the appropriate length. Step 7: Attach the MOLLE Panel With the holes drilled, I installed the panel using the quick disconnect fasteners. To make sure the MOLLE panel stays firmly in place, I used threadlocker on the bolts. This added step ensures a secure hold, even with the Cybertruck’s rugged use. I ended up mounting the quick disconnect fasteners in the corners. This particular fastener type would have required a large diameter hole to be drilled, so I ended up using an existing slot. With the serrated nut surface, it holds tight. If you plan on using a different style fastener including a simple bolt and nut setup, you could probably use one of the existing circular holes to mount. I plan to mount a DIY Not-a-Flamethrower once I get it finished up. I plan to use it for starting camp fires. Final Thoughts This MOLLE panel installation is a simple yet effective way to keep the Cybertruck’s frunk organized. The quick disconnect fasteners make it easy to remove and reattach the panel if needed, providing flexibility for your storage needs. With this setup, I now have a solid, reliable way to secure essential items in the frunk.
