- Jeep JL 2 Door Goose-Gear Install
In this video I show you how to install the Goose-Gear rear seat delete and platform system for the 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL 2 Door.
This is my first TH-cam video. I plan on creating many more with installs, off-roading, over landing, road trips, etc. Don't mind the missing passenger side seat, I am also in the middle of mounting PRP seats.

Really cool, nice install. Have a 2dr JL Rubicon and was wondering how the Goose gear would look. Thanks for sharing 😊 👍
Thanks for checking it out. It is for sale if you’re local to Florida 👍🏻
I am guessing that with the number of holes, the four main bolts, and the ability to use inserts or T-nuts, one could relocate the factory tie-downs anywhere including the original spot with longer bolts...just to provide options?
I imagine so. The floor has a ton of options to fit whatever you need.
Thank you!!! Every bloody video is a JLU, and us 2dr people just cannot find content. I'm not buying the GG gear, too bloody expensive after exchange in Canada, but I was thinking a $60 sheet of HDPE puckboard, 1/4" and a spray can of truckbed liner...
Thanks fella!
No problem at all, glad I could help. I think if you trace it out and drill the right holes it’ll be pretty much the same.
can you give me info for how you’re doing this?!
Serious question - what advantage does this have over simply removing the rear seat? Looks like I’d lose my D-Ring tie downs, I’d have less access to my storage compartment and I’d need a tool to get to my jack. Additionally, my dogs need carpeting to keep from sliding everywhere. Great video and clearly a quality product but what am I missing?
The biggest advantage is going to be the recessed/tapped holes to mount different accessories. You can mount rail based storage systems, a fridge, and they also sell d rings that you can mount to the floor. When I removed the rear seat I was never really content with the look of it. I kept it out permanently, so I wanted a more permanent look if that makes sense. I will admit when I had my dog back there I used my rugged ridge rear cargo liner as well.
@@Wobblenuts OK that makes sense. I’m going to need that rear seat-especially when out camping/wheeling so I wont be installing a frig or drawers. Anyway, good video. Thanks for sharing.
@@randomstuff3672 ah got you. Yea if you are putting the seat back in then this probably isn’t the right fit for you. Although it’s easy, just doesn’t seem worth it for your application. Thanks for the support!!
It also look glitchy compared to the original carpet covered, would expect it to have an antislip surface?
Your Jeep looks a lot like my Jeep, I have a grey 2 door jl with that soft top
Hell yea that’s awesome. I love that soft top.
Very nice setup there, especially that fastback soft-top. I've got a 2018 2-door JL myself and am looking into this, with the possibility of adding options later. Thanks for the informative video!
No problem Brandon. If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out.
Thinking this will obstruct my speaker upgrade ...
Yea depending on what you have. What did you put in it?
sounds like goose gear make alot of fuk ups?
Not at all. Was just missing the front brackets. They had them to me in two days once I realized.
Can you access the jack from the rear
Yes you can. There is a smaller panel that you can remove to access the OEM jack.
Sick install 😃🙌
Handsome pooch. I don’t have a jeep yet. But when I get one I’ll be doing this mod as well.
I wouldn’t have mentioned that last bit about your intentions regarding your CCW… but perhaps I’m a little paranoid about stuff like that. The less people know…. the better. Awesome vid brother. Thanks
Hey appreciate the love!! Definitely an awesome mod for the platform.
And yea I get you. I actually don’t have the Jeep anymore so it doesn’t matter 😂 But definitely the less people know the better.
Sorry but I don't get the point of this, why? What is the purpose?
Well I never used my rear seat, so that was purpose 1. But for everyone else you can mount equipment to these such as drawers, fridge, and whatever else you may need for overlanding.
@@Wobblenuts Oh ok, I see, I didn't make the connection. I removed by back seat as well and have it stored. I just never thought of mounting things in the back. Thanks for the information!
@@NoBody-ij9dj absolutely. I thought it was nice because it made the rear a nice flat surface. Plus it’s super durable. I put a mat down back there when I had my dog with me too.
They forgot to send you hardware? Seems pretty ridiculous for such a premium product... don’t get me wrong, goosegear looks clean as hell, but they forgot to send you parts? Idk
I know, it was an inconvenience but they corrected in very quickly. People make mistakes 🤷🏻♂️
Nice. I may be doing this as well. You lose the tie downs unfortunately. Also, isn't the surface going to be a bit slippery for Archer? I suppose you can lay something down on top of it.
If you have a two door, my setup is currently for sale. I actually traded the Jeep in about a month ago. When I had Archer back there I did put a blanket down, but only to make it more comfortable for him. The finish on the platform is quite grippy. Also, goose gear actually sells hooks/tie downs that you can bolt down with their hardware 👍🏻
@@Wobblenuts Why did you decide to sell it?
@@LeeLiko I wanted something fast and fun again. The Jeep was cool but I never “loved” it. And for me, I have to love a vehicle to enjoy it lol.
@@Wobblenuts What did you end up getting?
@@LeeLiko a 2018 Audi S4. Already have done a few things to it with more on the way 😊
"When I can't take it into certain stores" never been to one that firsked me..
Haha I know. I mainly meant government buildings. I don’t think I’ve seen any places down here that says you can’t besides movie theatres. But even then I still did. People are crazy.
@@Wobblenuts I figured that's what you meant🍻
looks great, trying to decide gladiator, or 2 door
@@bowstobourbon I appreciate it!! That’s a tough choice. I test drive a gladiator rubicon while I had the two door and it was really nice.
@@Wobblenuts awesome, guess we'll see where the wallet falls :D cheers!
@@bowstobourbon haha good luck with the decision. I will say if I was doing it again I would go Rubi up front for sure. The sport was fine, but certain things like axles limited it for sure. Also depends on what you want to do with it.
@@Wobblenuts awesome ty! I've gone the build a sport model before, but now i want something that involves a little less maintenance
concealed means concealed. Carry away Brother!!
Great add for "Goose Gears worst sent out package" they miss fitted and forgot to send. not very professional imo.
They fixed it like right away. No biggie.
Great video, just curious on how much room is gained after the instal. we have a soon to be 100 lbs Bernese mountain dog and a 50lbs blue heeler. I would love to stick to getting the 2 door JK but am overall worried about comfortable road trip and trail space for them.
Thanks for the love. Archer is roughly 85lbs and I think it’s safe to say I could have fit another dog back there about half his size. You get a pretty decent amount of room with the floor installed. Plus it’s nice being a flat surface.
What is the length from the back of the driver's seat to the back of the platform? Thank you!
Man I wish I could tell you. I got rid of the Jeep this past year. Sorry about that.
nice video, can you tell me what top that is and how high is your lift? thanks in advance
Sorry I just replied under your other comment. It was the besttop trek top. And the lift was rubicon springs and a Teraflex spacer kit.
Im looking at getting the 2 door and was thinking of doing the same for my two dogs lol would defiantly want that tie downs still just so they can wear their harnesses and i can hook a leash to the tie downs incase of an accident or have the roof off and they see a cat lol awesome video dude!
Goose gear actually sells bolt in tie downs for it. Definitely not a bad idea haha. And if you’re interested this is for sale. I traded in my Jeep and removed this when I put the seat back in.
6 mins in and I noticed you ALSO tie strapped back seatbelts. +100
Haha yep. I got annoyed with them flapping around. There are companies that sell an actual like fabric strap but I couldn’t justify that purchase.
Awesome upgrade. Do they make this for the Jk model?
Thanks Steven!! They do make it for the JK, they even make side cubbies for it as well. That’s something I wish they made for the JL, maybe sometime in the future. Check them out at www.goose-gear.com and search by vehicle.
@@Wobblenuts
Yeah the full install looks amazing and makes it look like a pickup in the back of your Jeep!. That price though - holy that’s so expensive.
@@stevenm1832 It definitely is expensive, but after working with their product and the company, it’s worth it. The fit, finish and attention to detail is too notch. It just depends on what you want to accomplish with your Jeep. For me personally it was to get rid of the back seat in the cleanest way possible, plus have some lockable storage and a nice flat solid platform for my dog. Goose-gear checked all the boxes.
@@Wobblenuts I have a 2010 JK 2 door and probably only had the bench installed for the first month of owning the Jeep. There’s no room at all with the bench installed and the 4 door is hideous looking in my opinion. This product does look amazing and really beats my plastic lining a cut to fit just to give some floor protection for material or equipment. Lol
Glad I found this video as I love that clean finish !
I am considering this, but at the same time i use my rear seat for passengers every once in a while
How much is once in a while? Do you have a 2 or 4 door? If it’s a 2 like mine was, it’s honestly not that bad to remove and throw your seat in. Depending on how often is “once in a while”. Also, if you’re local to FL mine is actually for sale.
@@Wobblenuts mostly every other weekend. I have do mountain bikes and sometimes its 3 of us together and im the only one with a 4 bike carrier so we end up in my jeep. But yeah i saw you got another car, if you still have the soft top i might want to buy that and yeah im in FL too
@@copperhead_R I don’t have that unfortunately. I think all I have left from the part out is the goose gear setup.
Very nice, I'll consider this when i get my two door jl. Thank you.
Thanks for the love. It was a great upgrade for sure.
If you put a drawer on top of the access hole for the lower compartment can you still open it?
Looking at where goose gear put the mounting holes, I would wager that yes you can access it once the draw is open. I’d ask them to be sure, but I don’t see it as being an issue.
2 door ...2 'THUMBS UP'!...SWEET 'Set-UP'!
Thank you!! It’s actually for sale if you’re local lol. I traded the Jeep in last week 😯
@@Wobblenuts ..you didn't 'like' the 2 door Jeep?....
@@gungfuriceboy it was nice, and I made it my own but it was something I never really loved. I’m a car guy at heart, and I wanted to get back into something fast and German.
@@Wobblenuts ..that's Awesome 'Wobblenuts' ( Matt )! i like jeeps & pick ups for their 'Versatility'!!!....i'm Also more of a car GUY Too! ..my 'latest addition'...is a '99 E55 AMG...enjoy very much!! Torque Monster for it's 'TIME'!!.. Cheers From Canada!
@@gungfuriceboy thanks for the love!! I actually traded the Jeep in less than two weeks ago lol. I picked up a B9 Audi S4. I’ll be doing my “new car” intro video here shortly. Be sure to check it out.
this set up is sick! Im getting one right after i line x the tub in mine!!
I appreciate it. That’ll be awesome with the line x done too.
Looks great.
Thank you 🙌🏻
Thanks for the video! Just got back into a jeep. Went from 4 door to a 2 door. How’s it holding up? Any tips?
Of course. So I actually got rid of it about a year ago. Traded it in for something fast haha. I got home from deployment and decided to change it up. But the Jeep was awesome while I had it. Feel free to ask me any questions though and I’ll help where I can.
@@Wobblenuts Thanks bro. What were your top three recommendations for like camping/dog friendly mods?
what is the name of the top on your jeep, it looks awsome and would like to get one, and how high is your lift? thanks in advance
@@Grizzly_316 that was the besttop trektop. And in that video I was on like rubicon springs and a Teraflex level spacer kit.
Why didn’t you show the available room after install?
I kind of did. Sort of haha. It was my first ever TH-cam video 🤷🏻♂️😂 Learning curves lol.
@@Wobblenuts,
Congrats on your first video, and thanks for sharing!
@@bigchief8017 haha I appreciate it. I’m hoping they’re getting better as time goes on.
