Hello everyone –

Has anyone successfully installed the Goose Gear system in their Defender?

I'm planning to delete my 3rd row and install the rear plate system myself.

I've also contacted Goose Gear and they said didn't have any pictures of cars with the install (which I thought was quite strange).

Anyways, hope someone can help me out or give me some guidance! Thanks in advance

 

I also removed the third row and looked into goose gear. There platform sits flush or nearly flush with the cargo ties near the second row and then raises an inch towards the back door. They were equally unhelpful in there reply to me when I enquired about more info. In the meantime I have just cut a 0.5 in sheet of plywood with a rubber topper to cover the gap. I installed a second battery and associated wiring in that space. I have been looking around for something else, but no luck yet.

 

Thanks for the reply @Adamalli ! Sounds amazing, how did the secondary battery turn out? Any pics?

They were even more unhelpful when I met them at the Overland Expo in Bend this year. Not sure why they have that vibe? I still think Goose Gear has the cleanest setup, I might go for it. If I do, I'll document each step.

 

Installed pics on a 5-seat D110

 

When I learned from their website that this was $1800 I thought, That's not bad; the fridge and stove is a good chunk of that.






Nope. $1800 gets you the cabinet, nothing else. Wowzer! About a grand more than I would have thought, building in my expectation that it would be really expensive given the tiny volume.

 

Thanks for the reference @2thebrim !!! Damn, this build is so nice. It has all the toys! If they are selling this...what in the hell are they driving now? haha

@NoGaBiker Lololol. Yes, I feel you on that.

 

I understand this to be Barry Bond's car and have heard he's building out a Bronco Raptor as the replacement.

 

@2thebrim ahhh, makes sense! sad he didn't keep it

 

Sorry for the late reply. Got distracted with other things. I just posted about my second battery install here.

 

Wow, amazing! Thanks for sharing <3 <3
