- The EPIC crew rips out the rear seats of a Tacoma and installs the wonderful Goose Gear Rear Seat Delete! A must-do for any Tacoma owner.
See Goose Gear for Product Details: www.goose-gear...
This would be the perfect time to sound proof your Tacoma!
For some bass! Lol
Yes, my excitement level is off the charts. My Tundra is lusting for this.
Ginger with fine finger dexterity lol.Epic
This is freaking awesome! That kit looks amazing, likes its OEM. I normally have my Husky with me all this time and this would be perfect for him to be able to chill in the back seat area. Could put a rubber cargo liner back there so he wouldn’t slide around and be easier to clean out. I think I just found my birthday gift.
Give us material variations!,,aluminum, steel, heavy duty synthetics,,that’s one hardcore ginger 🤘🏻
Shag carpet?
I wish these people included a mid gate to open up the rear of the cabin to the truck bed to haul longer stuff without them hanging off the truck floor.
I want those seats for my 2019 Tacoma utility package
Same lol
I was thinking of taking out the back seats and front passenger seat to see if I could make a camping vehicle(I don’t have a bed cap just a roll cover. I wonder if the have an extension to the platform that would go all the way to front dash on passenger side to accommodate the possibility of sleeping .
That sounds like an interesting idea, however Goose Gear doesn't offer anything to replace the front passenger seat! Would be cool tho!
Does this affect the range of movement for the front seats at all? I want to make sure I can still put my driver seat all the way back so I can fit in my taco.
No, I just checked mine and there's about 2 inches to spare with my seat back all the way.
What if I don’t have a ginger?! 🤣
This is awesome. I will definitely be doing this in the near future
Yeah it frees up so much room!
This video has inspired me! ✨ gonna take everything out tomorrow and let equipt1 install it. Thanks
Awesomesauce!
If I had the cash this would be one of my nexts mods. it looks great in the in the truck! Really cleans up the back and makes it look good !
1) It's a beautiful kit ... looks totally factory! 2) Keep everything, as the next owner may want the back seats.
Great vid! Have you guys ever tried it heard of fabricating a new center console piece?
The console would be flush with the lid of the cavernous console, it would delete the useless wireless charger, and would require a shifter extension.
The idea is to have all the light & accessory switches at finger reach, and to better distribute the empty spaces.
Console would start from the USB charger and ECT area (those would be relocated to the new console)
I’m really surprised about the price so many Tacoma accessories are over priced! I might have to pick this bad boy up 🤘
So true
the price on the website is for one side only, its double if you want to do the whole back seat, that 1k
wambolt1212 makes you say fuck this and build your own Lmao
You don't think $1400 plus tax shipped for the complete system is overpriced? Consists of 4 small pieces of plywood, a bag a screws, and some spray on bedliner. Wish I had your wallet!
The vacuum guy did an awesome job, thanks for hiring the handicap
I just completed something similar in my Tacoma Crew Cab. I used ½” baltic birch plywood. The back was attached to existing threaded locations. To attach D-rings I used insert nuts into the plywood.
Looks really good, just wish they made one for an 03 tundra
Contact Goose Gear and make a request!
Interesting. I would like something that is old dog friendly. Just a plain flat floor that isn't lifted. He has a hard time jumping up. The lack of a flat backseat floor has kept me from buying one. The Ridgeline is the only one I see that is flat when it comes to smaller trucks.
And the Ridgeline has a lower flier anyway because of the lower ground clearance =easier for the dog to get in
I have a Wednesday morning appointment to get this stuff installed, but I'm trying to remove the seats before I get there to save on labour costs. I'm thrifty, okay? haha. Wow, was that back panel was on tight. I almost needed help from the Incredible Hulk to rip it off. Christian makes it look so easy.
His majestic ginger beard gave him the strength 😅!
I’m not sure I like the over extension beyond the seat shelf. You lose floor space. Sure they added some extra doors they give access to the floor, but it is not a secure compartment because you can see underneath from the side. Fantastic idea for some people. The flat surface looks great. I like the locking doors. The $1000:price tag seems about 30% too high. Looks like some major effort went into the plan/work though. Even if the seats can slide all the way back I don’t like giving up that small amount of floor space.
They make side panels to "secure" those open areas.
How would you open up back of cab? To add a sleeper. Would be cool to be able to open that cab a little bigger for a bed platform, have refrigerator underneath in drawer. 2 skylights. Remove muddle console for easy access to back.
They need to make this for full-size trucks.
gingers majestic beard is truly majestic. I could never in this lifetime grow anything on my face
Yes many have tried... many have failed ;-)
These dudes gonna be mad when they realize there is a truck bed behind those seats! (Just kidding. Great video!)
What the heck happened to the Gingers ring finger?!
Great video - sure would like to see video of 3rd gen access cab 2nd row seat delete plate system With factory seats?
Hey guys,love this idea! Is it possible to only do the smaller seat in back with your product!?
Yes, you can do just the 60 or the 40 rear seat delete while leaving the other side.
2:05 Holy crap LOL!!! Now that's funny!
Ok this is super raw!!! I hot a 2015 Tacoma and i typed in how to remove the backseats and turn it into a box for some subs and this popped up. Is there anyway to basically do what y’all did with the goose gear while still turning it into a box???? What exactly was this made for ? To add room?
Looking to take that rear panel off on my access cab, gotta look to see if it’s the same but I’m looking to install a molle panel. Thinking of just running some screws through it to secure it
Sounds like a plan. Could work!
So just out of curiosity you don't have to do the whole seat? I would only want a portion of the back seat. Also no drilling holes in the truck right?
Can u use the 60%platform and the 40%oem seat so I can have my dog on one side and my kid/car seat on the other ?
Do one for the Tundra, I'm definitely buying.
Do you have a video for the access cab?
Hi, I recently installed the 40% delete in my 2005 Taco. I had to make a few modifications throughout the project. I still use my rear seat for passengers from time to time so the complete system would not work for me. Overall this item is awesome. It took less than an hour in my cramped, poorly lit apartment building garage it install. However there are a couple of things that are still troublesome enough to keep this project from being 100% done. Do you know the thread size of the holes that are left for (I assume) additional accessories? I would like to mount a MOLLE panel or other items on the back. Furthermore, I was not able to install the left-side top (closest to the bed) bolt on the bottom section. It simply would not go in and I did not want to force it and risk cross threading. Is there a trick to this that I am missing? The original bolt is a step style with a tapered and threaded tip. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Hi Matthew - we don't have our Tacoma available here to check at EPIC right now. I'd give the fine folks at Goose Gear a call and they can certainly help you out. 844-466-7334 Cheers!
What's good about having the access doors if your sh*t is just gonna fall to the floor? Am I missing something here?
When is the Epic Crew going to make one of these kits for the new Ford Rangers?? I could use one for the supercab model.
Hey Sam! Call Goose Gear and tell them to design you one!
Looks to be a well engineered product. But, It would be much better if it was made from a composite material. The edge at the top by the rear window looks to be unfinished. Lastly, the sides, from bottom of the delete to the floor are open, makes it look incomplete. If Goose Gear would address what I consider problems, I would seriously consider purchasing one. BTW, not bashing the Epic crew, they did a great detailed install video and it was also informative.
LOL! have your ginger arrange the panels
hey if anyone is doing this I'd be interested in your seats, i got a 2021 black/gray cloth seats and need all rear seats
Is there any logical reason to remove the stock storage bin that will keep things better than when removed. Just remove the lid to it and you get to keep the good bin under the Goose Gear....?
I have the same question.
If a beared ginger is unavailable , what's a good alternative?
Uhmm.... a non-bearded Ginger?
@@EPIC-4WD let's just say all gingers disappeared due to overexposure to the sun... would a brunette suffice?
3:37 in EU you will fail MOT if your vechicles passport says 5 seatbelts and you've removed the rear ones. the seats they don't care about that much
Is it very hard to sell the removed seats anywhere?
Thank you.
Can you just use the back panels without the bottom plate?
Nope. The back panels mount to the bottom plate.
Out of curiosity how much weight does this add or subtract? Would love to do this mod for more room for the dogs when traveling however I also needs seats for SAR work? Oh decisions! Thanks for posting and yes it is a magical beard!!!
Hi Kitt, the plates are not all that heavy. And you can do just the 40% or the 60% part of the seat instead of the whole thing, thus having some rear seating with some extra storage space!
I just did mine and I would say all 4 pieces (60/40 bottom and back) add 50ish lbs
I have an 02 extra cab. I'm guessing this won't work for that?
Love the idea guys!
Should’ve left seats out so u can do high 16’s on 1/4
The broke mopes in the comments kill me. 😂 Now, a question for the adults: I will definitely be adding dynamax sound deadening to the back wall and floor. Is there any advantage to applying it to the back of the Goose Gear panels, too?
How many inches is it wide from door to door. Can someone sleep in the back that is 66 inches?
Do you know the height from platform to ceiling?
Deff seems like a good option. But i wonder if itll be sturdy enough for a 60 lb dog to stand, walk, and lay around on. deff would rather have a flat surface for him instead of him tearing up seats
Yep, we do this mod for people with big dogs all the time. With our setups, we have large fridges full of food on top of the Goose Gear plate... heavier than 60lbs ;-)
I've sat on mine and crawled all over it, etc....I'm 260lbs...it did fine. I also have two dogs, one that is 60lbs and one that is pushing 80lbs and they're both back there together all the time. works great
Hmmm🤔 could I just buy the 40% (behind the driver)
You bet!
Why would someone do this?
Do you happen to have a GG rear seat delete kit for an ‘06 Ford 150 ?
It's nice and all but not over $1,200 nice....
Even with lumber and hardware at an all time high price you can do the same kit for less than 200$
I guess if you have absolutely 0 carpentry skills and plenty of money to blow this is a great option.
I personally just removed the rear seats, trimmed and painted a 1/2" sheet of plywood in bed liner, wrapped the bottom in tool box liner to reduce noise, trimmed it and bolted it to the floor. Used some cheap swivel rings and bolted them to the floor, added 2 small acces doors to get to the lower compartments using cheap hinges. Cost me just under $200. Sure it doesn't look as pretty as this product but for a tenth of the price ill take it any day
How much weight do you save by deleting rear seats?
Not sure, but we'd guess it's a wash between the seats and the Goose Gear plates, weight-wise.
what's the total width of the tow base pieces combined?
Do they also have the kit for the SR5 that has a fold-up seats in the 3rd gen
How much is it for complete setup?
The Ginger part😂😂
Can I do just the 40% seat and back?
You can!
What if I don’t have a ginger and only have a dandy?
What happened to the Ginger guy's ring finger @7:58?
Either he was playing too close to electricity or a Nasty Divorce.
Do you ship to the states?
They sure think a lot about these. The price is ridiculous
I was also wondering about the possibility of switching the 60 and 40 seats. I have a son and have to have him sit in back rear passenger seat as he’s young . That is the 60 % seat and is more than too big for him. I want to switch the driver side passenger 40 seat to that area and keep the rest of back open for cargo and maybe mod a storage cabinet for my tools. Can it be done? I haven’t removed anything yet as I frequent drive my son around so I don’t want to take out seats and not be able to put them back in time. In your professional opinion could that be done?
Switching the 40 with the 60? Not that it couldn't be done... but you'd need some good fabrication.
Does anybody know if front seat are still capable of moving to its rear most position with this upgrade?
I called Goose Gear and the gentleman said they can slide all the way back but the total recline will be impeaded
Would like to know the dimensions
MDF "wood" looks like trash.
Its not MDF, look closer it is probably Baltic Birch or similar which might be 1/2 inch and 9 plys. Very good plywood for design and build. The spray on coating looks like a propriatary LineX type of coating.
One for access cab?
Check the goose-gear.com website!
What is the weight limit on this?
One husky Ginger?
I recently bought this but it seemed like it was lacking some of the mounting equipment when i recieved it, a small metal joiner plate that bolt the 60% plate and 40% together. Can i reach out and get this?
I'd suggest reaching out to the retailer that sold you the Goose Gear product and they can help you out!
Can only one side be done?
You bet! Either the 40 or the 60 delete can be done!
Can u just do the driver's side back seat?
You bet! You can do either the 40 or the 60 seat delete.
Where the heck would I put my damn baby?
Would have sold me if it was steel
and why is it that you think you need steel?
garbage instructions. be more vague next time, I enjoy the guess work
Gingers ring finger had a problem with a ring.
Oh, the Ginger has had many life experiences! ;-)
Its cool. Paying $30,000 for a 2 seater truck is a hard pill to swallow though.
And like that you’ve got the storage of a crew cab F150. Second guessing getting rid of my Ford.
How about the Silverado trailboss
Anyone know the height of these?
The floor plates sit right on top of the storage compartment frame. If you lift up the bottom of your seats and then pop the plastic rivets that hold down your under seat lockable compartment, that metal frame under there is how high they will sit. Hope that helps. You can see near the beginning of the video what we're referring to. Cheers!
Epic Adventure Outfitters it does. Thanks!
What’s the point
yeah, who needs back seats. Your children can just drive themselves around.
allegedly...
Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat
but...why not just buy a 4 runner? have seats and an interior cargo space? I swear I don't get people that buy a truck then change its function with 20k worth of stuff to end up with a different truck or SUV....why not just buy an access cab? I mean the product looks great I just dont get why people do this?
follow up, holy heaven on a biscuit 800 dollars for a plate across an access cab? with half of it made from a step above particle board? no thank you, I will cut my own and spray the surface with bed liner, that way it wont be made from IKEA wood, and even if I put hydraulic doors with fancy hardware on it it wont come out above 300 bucks.
a 4Runner does not have an open cargo space that's separated from the cab space. First thing I did to my first double cab Tacoma 6 years ago was to take the rear seats out. This is a super-overly expensive way to address a cleaner look for anybody who doesn't need the seats.
Sweet a truck mod for non parents lol.
Pfffssst. Make the kids ride in the back!
@@EPIC-4WD 🤣🤣🤣🍻
This looks over engineered I want to be able reinstall the rear seats in 15-20 minutes
I bet I can build something better
Wow the finesse is uh unwatchable
Just buy an extended cab instead of the crew cab.
Super cool but expensive as all hell.
If you rearrange the letters in GINGER ..
Beware, its fucking gross back there
Or you can save $1000 and just fold the seats down.....then when there is more than two people ,move your crap to the bed and load the family or friends. Seems like a work truck only mod
