Rear seats are in the trash! Goose Gear platform install 3rd Gen Tacoma game changer for overlander

In this video I do a complete rear seat delete of my third generation Toyota Tacoma and install both the 40% and 60% Goose Gear Platforms while retaining the Toyota Factory installed back panels. I am extremely impressed with quality of the Goose Gear products and the ease of which they went in. I have taken it on several adventures already and it has been a game changer especially when I take my dog Eleanor! (Please Note: I am not sponsored by goose gear and paid full price for the platform.)

Really cool..

[@advfamily]

Thanks, I wish I would have done it sooner!

[@TRDFrank]

Very nice set up

[@advfamily]

Thanks!

[@thejamiefoster]

Thanks for the video! Did you add any sound deadening materials?

[@advfamily]

You are welcome! I added some 4mm EVA foam to the area where the storage box had been. I think it is actually quieter now then with the seats.

[@stacky512a]

Military grade!

[@advfamily]

Yes it is!

[@kuntsniffer9437]

When you moved them boxes they looked light, I guess I figured the goose gear used heavy panels, so is that system light weight? This would be great if so, I figured it was MDF board. Thanks

[@advfamily]

They are very light but very strong.

[@llrmo]

What's that net you have on your headliner?

[@advfamily]

It is the Blue Ridge Overland Gear's Tacoma Attic www.blueridgeoverlandgear.com/products/toyota-tacoma-attic

[@dutchholland6928]

Wes, on the new Tacomas, you have the option of a 6 speed automatic or the conventional stick shift.
Being new to this overland trail stuff, what’s your thoughts? I would think messing with a clutch in rough terrain might get tough…. But I’m so new to this I’m just not sure.

[@advfamily]

I would go with an automatic transmission for an overland build. Yes a manual transmission can be better in some situations but for the other 99% of the time the automatic will be just as good while far more convenient to operate.

[@dutchholland6928]

@@advfamily Thanks man, that’s where my brain was going as well, but better to ask someone’s that’s been doing it for a bit. Thanks again.

[@advfamily]

No problem

[@DesignXWorkshop]

So you add a rear seat delete with storage and then put a bunch of crap on top of it so you can’t access the storage???? You should have saved yourself a crapload of money and put some plywood down…..seriously? How about a slider for that fridge????

[@advfamily]

Thanks for the feedback. I am very happy with the set up so far but who knows what the future will bring!
