Anyone ever try Goose Gear Seat Delete?

Looking for some input on Goose Gears seat delete kit for my access cab. I don't feel like I have seen them much on here before.
My biggest problem with them is they are kinda pricey for what they are. If anyone has used them I would love your opinion on them, or if anyone has different options I would love to hear that too.

I was interested until I saw the price. Did I read correctly that it's $400 per side?

 

more than what I think it's worth
the drawers look nice but way over priced for wood, I'd want something more moisture proof

I was thinking of doing something similar originally. But, haven't yet/plans changed.

It's basically plywood and 8020 extrusions, painted. If you have any semblence of experience with DIY/a modicum of patience, you can do it for about $50 in materials if you already have the tools. If you don't have the tools, and only want to do one side/panel, it might not be worth it to set up for yourself. But if you can do it, yeah let 'er rip.

 

Yeah unfortunately.

 

Last I looked the base price was for it without the drawers too!

 

Definitely a boutique item, but by the time you factor in design and labor time, tooling, hardware, and materials to build an identical product, $400 is kind of a bargain.

That's who I was thinking of too

 

I saw his in person and it is pretty slick

 

Don't get me wrong, as far as the cost, I don't think it's inflated and they make $350 profit from it, I know they're low runner/most of it is labor to make them, I think knowing the product and process, the price is fair. But, I can get 8020 and plywood myself for a lot cheaper. It's a matter of valuing time or money more.

 

I’ve got one in my double cab.

is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes.

I was on the edge spending the money vs building something myself. I eventually placed an order and I’m happy I did. Fit and finish is excellent. All the bolts and hardware you need. Mounts very solid. No issues with fit or finish. Finish shows no signs of wear since I installed mine a year ago

lots of places to add tie downs or mount things.

i wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

 

Looks awesome!

Thanks for the input! Does the price come with the lids?

 

I agree completely. In most cases, my vision outpaces my talent, which is why I generally like to keep things simple. As much as I really like this platform, I made something simple using the pallet that my skid plates were shipped on. I can swap the platform out for the rear seat in less than 10 minutes.

Man I'd love that extra space in the back for our dogs. I wish this mod was quickly reversed when you want to have seats again.

 

more like wallet-delete

Does look nice and sturdy. Baby seat attachments would sell me on it...

 

Thanks for the comments. They're on my list for my access cab. They look quality built for sure.

 

How is road noise without the additional padding of the seats keeping it down?

 

If you have M/T, its pretty loud in my opinion. Others may have different opinions.

And I have even sound deadend.

 

Yup you get everything.
