Better Than Goose Gear Seat Delete
Don’t get me wrong, Goose Gear makes some awesome products. The problem with most seat delete kits is that they require permanent installation and have awkward cutouts to get to factory storage bins mostly rendering that space useless. If you’re anything like me, you need your rear seats from time to time and committing to a full loss of seats in your truck is not something you want to commit too. Enter the “Taco Table”. This seat delete platform not only allows you to keep all of the factory plastics and sound dampening but also allows access to factory compartments and allows you to quickly remove the seat delete within 2 minutes to restore your seat when you need it!! Below you will find specific parts and measurements for a 3rd generation Toyota Tacoma, but the same design principles can be applied to any truck or vehicle that has factor mounting points for your seats. It will just take some time to measure out the parts specific to your vehicle.
