3rd gen AC rear seat delete panel

You planning any sound deadening while you have the panel off? I'd seen other threads where people put stick on tiles and even some foam around the air vents to stop the road noise.

Also, what are your plans for the storage locker space?

 

So this is an older thread now.

does anyone know if access cab seats will fit in a double cab?

 

Yeah I put some dynamat in and have some hoodliner coming tomorrow. The panel came today tho and I was surprised to see it had some insulation in it already. Also it has the white clips which are a lot better than the red ones on my seat panel. I already had ordered replacement clips tho thinking it wouldn’t come with them... oh well. As for the storage bins, I’m adding a goose gear platform there in a few months. Expensive but it’s worth it for me given I live in a city and apartment and have no tools or space to build my own.

 

That is one slick looking panel!

 

As an update, I filled the back area out with dynamat and hoodliner and installed the panel. It’s a lot quieter than when I just removed the seats. I don’t have a pic of the installed panel yet but here is a bad pic of the sound deadening.

 

Doesn’t look as clean, but you could always do a molle panel as well.

 

Finished my rear conversion build out finally. Really happy with it. This is a 2019 OR AC btw

 

Nice! That looks good!

 

Great job! I bet you are enjoying all that extra space.

 

looks good, considering the same thing. How long from Goose Gear? I know they say 10 weeks.

 

Is it possible to leave the seats but get the two long cubbies? I pulled the useless change tray from the middle. I don't want to fully remove the back seats just in case.

 

Thanks! That and also just having a large flat area back there is super convenient.

 

10 weeks from the time I placed the order in October with the dealer and the day it arrived there in January unfortunately. Their Instagram suggests they are working on speeding things up.

 

right on, thanks!

 

Goose gear has a version coming out that doesn’t require the utility back trim panel. So you could put in just one side if you wanted and only pull one seat. I think that version would only require you unbolt the middle belts and the lower seat pieces, maybe the child seat mounting pieces, but not sure when it will be out. Would prob take an hour to swap if you needed to. Also some 2nd gen models had under seat storage lids that cover the whole thing because there was no center console. I think it will fit the 3rd gen. You can find it on eBay. Like https://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-Toyot...Storage-Bin-OEM/312793267570?epid=22012005622

 

I was referring to that pic. I'm not sure if the cubbies are part of the seat assembly, doesn't seem like it?

 

Been wondering when they're coming out with this new version. I emailed them end of last summer and they just said they were waiting on test vehicles. I'm getting to where I need to get something on order.
How much extra space would you say you got going from the panel with the seats to the delete panel? Just curious as to how much space I'll gain if I spend the $ on the delete panel. Also, the delete panel is black correct? How well does it match the rest of the AC interior? I guess also, if you don't mind, what is the front to back measurements of the panel? They don't list any dimensions on their site.

 

What did you pay for that panel, if you don't mind me asking? Looks great! Any more pics of the Goose Gear platform assembly/guts?

 

I just ordered one and it was $460. My Goose Gear should be here sometime in early March. I'll try to get some good shots during the install.

 

Hey, I think I want to copy this exactly- Do I only need to order the 64270-04140-C0 part or are other parts required? And is it all stuff I could do myself or do you recommend taking it in to the dealer? Looks great; thanks!
