Duh.......yes that is me.

 

Pesonally, I like the look of the rear spoiler mounted on a 4Runner...but that's just me. Looks too plain w/o it, but to each his own.

They are designed to minimalize the amount of debris that builds up on the rear hatch glass. Mine does a fair job of it. Not great, but ok.

The reason why some 4Runner got them and some did not...you got me . I can only assume Toyota considered it an option and not a standard piece of equipment. Thus, some 4Runner got it, some did not.

Oh and Silver97, nice 4Runner...especially the wheels .

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

personally I think if your going with a rear spoiler, the JOAS one looks much nicer then the stock ones.

 

did you replace the stock shocks/struts with longer ones when you put the springs on?

 

Damn that's a mean lookin 4Runner, not really feelin the tail lights though...

 

They were newer from the previous owner. I left them on. No problems yet.

 

anybody know the cost of one of these rear spoilers? mine didnt come with one...

 

Personally, I'm still undecided on these particular wings. IMO, they look too much like the rear wings you see mounted on the toyota sequoias. However, they do give the 4Runner a very unique look. I don't want to say I completely don't like them, b/c who knows, my 4Runner might end up with one before it's all said and done


If you go new oem, I want to say they are a couple hundred dollars. Although if you can find them used, they are pretty cheap. The Jaos model I've also seen go for more than the new oem spoiler, but then again, find it used and it's half that. It's kind of hit or miss either way you go. If you want the oem version, try your local salvage yard. I'm sure you could get one at a good price there.

Either way, since you don't have anything mounted on the back of your hatch, it's drilling the mounting holes that will be fun (unless of course you have the holes pre-drilled.)

 

i got mine for about $40 at a junkyard. drilling the holes was easy. i just eyed it out. NO FEAR

 

The JAOS was $225 shipped. Then $60 for painting it. I mounted it myself in about 20 minutes.

 

More pics....

 

That's too pretty to wheel. Nice pictures......

 

How are the TRD Ivan's offroad? Anyone wheeled them?

 

Thanks. And it is gonna go, she just doesn't know it yet.(the wife)

By the way, Strap22. Were you on the Toyota trip to Atlantis in May?

 

Yeah, I did the same thing to my wife 4runner. Just remember it will cost you something. My went and bought a Lexus just to get even. Oh yeah, and I get to pay for it.

 

Check for rust under your fender flares and then do the tacoma gasket mod.(search)

You've probably got some paint wear and rust already.

 

i think im gonna get the rear thing for christmas, so my dad is gonna call the toyota dealership and ask about it.

also how much tint do you have installed?
and do i see an Alabama flag flying on your house?

 

IMO, they do as good a job as any other wheel in their size/category off road. I tend to stay clear of objects that might damage them though...I'm still babying them .

More importantly, it's you choice in tire that will take you more places off road...

 

Here's ric's Runner;They wheel fien but it's the ouchies you might do to them that really hurts.
