My Goose Gear cargo plate arrived today. The projected lead time from them was 8 weeks and it was delivered today, which was 17 days from the time I ordered it.
Fit and finish is perfect and it was a very quick install....or it would have been...had I not decided to forgo their slide as I wanted two slides mounted and their slides were almost twice as much as the Iceco slides. I have no doubt that the GG is a lot nicer but I don't think a slide should be that expensive. My hope going in was that some of the predrilled holes with nut inserts would line up. Out of the 38 holes, only 1 lined up to the location I was wanting to install the slides. I am horrible at any type of woodworking but it turns out that using a drill guide and nut inserts, it was quick and easy work. It was time consuming since I had to test fit so many different times but I actually had a good and relaxing day completing the project.
One negative has been getting in touch with Goose Gear. Post sell, I have tried emailing them twice and calling them twice with no contact back to me. This was just for some basic questions that I had. Also my cargo plate didn't come with the key. It is not that important at this point because the cubby hole is blocked by the slide but I feel like there should have been a key since there is a lock.
All in all, I really wanted to go with the system from American Adventure Labs because their customer service is some of the best that I have ever seen. I was torn on getting their Mass Cargo Plate but I really wanted the option to go with the seat delete in the future. I called them 3 times and they either answered immediately or called back within minutes. Goose Gear should take a play out of their handbook. The only thing that I need a solution for is my EcoFlow power station. Since I was so impressed with AAL, I ordered their cargo shelf and when it comes in, I will mount my power station to it. Heck, they will probably send me the key to my cubby hole...lol...
