Default Spoiler and running boards off.

I have taken the spoiler off since I am one of the very few that do not like it.
Anyone know where I can get a 3rd brake light? Or if you have one you want to sell?
Yes the body shop is going to have fun with my wallet fixing those holes

Running boards are also off. Still trying to fabricate front mudflaps.
I took these off to give me more clearence offroad.

Sooooooo......what are you doing with the spoiler? I have been considering putting one on mine but the dealership pricing has made me look at other options. Are you selling yours? how hard would it be to install myself?

It is silver with the 3rd light and the cover for your door 3rd light.
It is held by 2 bolts and 2 revits? on each side. So that is 4 hole you have to drill then a drill a 5th large hole for the electric plug. You might want to ask your dealer for a price on install.

I would consider selling this plus your 3rd light if interested.
It is in perfect shape.

Keep us posted on the running board delete - I'd like to do this as well. Are you adding sliders or leaving as is? Do you have pictures?

Boards are off. I will post pics when I get the rear door holes painted.
I need to find another web host for pics.
I think it look so much better.
No sliders, trying to keep it simple and less weight.
I have a landcruiser that I bumpered, sliders, wenched etc.
Simple and clean for the GX making her look like she was designed before all the US add ons.
Probably take the roof rack off as well.
If I could thow the spare tire on the rear door she would look like a Landcruiser Prado
