As one who lives in his Jeep full-time, I have to think like a backpacker, and make the most efficient use of space possible in order to be comfortable. In this regard, a platform system that maximizes functional space is almost a necessity.

My Jeep is equipped with a J30 camper conversion by Ursa Minor. Unlike a rooftop tent, this is a whole replacement hard-top with a pop-up camper built-in. It is accessed by two hatches above the back seat of the Jeep, and the tent portion is very much a part of the interior of the Jeep.

Normally, I would travel with the 40 percent section of the back seat up, and the 60 percent section would be folded down.

The 40 section is my entrance and exit. It is where I sit, take off my shoes, and sometimes do work on my computer (like I’m doing right now).

The 60 section is my standing platform. It is my living space. It is where I might change clothes, make lunch, and access the camper above. With the 60 percent section of the rear seat installed, it folds down into a bulky, uneven surface with an awkward gap separating it from the cargo area.

The Goose Gear plate system with the optional 60 percent platform enables one to remove the 60 section rear seat completely, and replaces it with a perfectly flat platform that joins seamlessly with the rear cargo area and adds two spacious storage cubbies down below, in the space formerly occupied by the folded seat.

So the rear plate system with the fender cubbies and the 60 percent platform are absolutely perfect for my needs. This configuration would complement my Ursa Minor J30 camper setup extraordinarily well.
