Trunk Storage Area Cover

Tonydavid · Dec 29, 2024

We pick up our Land Cruiser next week! So excited!
Question - Has anyone modified the truck storage area cover?
Issue - I understand that cover has weigh limit of 132 pounds. Sometimes, I load heavy objects into my vehicle trunk (such as a stone sculpture). When loading such an object the weight usually goes right where this storage cover is. I can shift it off of this area later. Any suggestions on how to not damage this cover?

I saw the Goose Gear system on a new LC friends vehicle this last weekend. A very easy and effective fix.
Nicely finished looks stock.

Adding ill be doing the same with one or both rear seat delete kits.
Pricey however plug and play. A person can do the same with a table saw and some decent wood.

Thank you for this info. I am just looking for solution to the weight limit on the cover of the storage compartment.

Here's one company that completely removes the OEM batter compartment and replaces it with a heavier duty floor. I'm highly considering this.

I think this limit only applies to the cover for the small storage area at the very back, not the entire cargo area.

This is correct, it has been discussed a number of times before.

Just curious if anyone has any more feedback on goose gear or trekkbox or something else? I like the goose gear cargo cover design… seems pretty well thought through

Saw a pretty complete G Gear set up at a friends house. Good quality everything fits. Not sure what i'll do yet but something Goosey. I liked everything about it.

Agree. I DO have the platform, but the rest of their system, nah.

How do you like the platform? In concept it seems great.

I haven't installed yet. I intend on doing that in the coming days and will post a thread.

I just tried to install mine, definitely regretting going with goose gear at this point.

I wrote up a larger post here if you want to check it out.

I'm happy with my Goose Gear. Everything fit like a glove with the exception of a few T-Nuts missing. Was able to install it in a day. Contacted them and spoke to Mark and he send them out ASAP. I purchased the Plate system. Much better than stock floor. I have a slide for my Engel Frig/Freezer.

Glad to hear that, hope they remedy my situation quickly as well.

Does your driver side wing panel have this same gap at the front side of it?

GaryA · Monday at 9:20 AM

Yes both sides look alike. I don't have pictures though. Bought it on there anniversary sale. Had to wait 10 weeks.

Oh interesting, my passenger panel is shaped completely different and fits like a glove but that drivers side has a big enough gap for a quarter to fall into the frame area.
