Assuming you are referring to a front spoiler, as soon as you go off road it will come off a hellva lot easier that it went on!
Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
i think he means a rear spoiler that goes on the top of tailgate/rear of roof.
Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
yeah i ment the rear spoiler with the tail light on it

Have you got a 4WD for off road or is it a race car?
Can't see the point in it for a 4WD, especially one that is intending to go off road. Gues its just something else for the trees and branches to wipe off.
Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
Hi, why do want to put one on?
Reason I ask is I've just taken mine off because I hate how the spoilers look on surfs..
If you want to put one on, you'll need to drill four smaller holes in the back to hold it on, and one big one to fit the spoiler, the big ones for the wiring. All the wiring is revealed underneath the rear trim at the back/top of the boot area. Check to see if the wiring is there?

Yeap, that looks like them, you'll just have to drill them out once you get the spoiler. Everything else should come with the spoiler.
Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
hey do you have one for sale by any chance as you took your one off?

Yes I do, its a green one. PM me.
Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
I had one fitted to mine, was an easy job as everything is there plug wise as you have found.
I had a surf with one and bought another without, but had it fitted. They do make a difference with sucking the exhaust in with window down. Not as much difference as I had hoped but still noticeable. Personally think they look better too, esp on the pre '95 Surfs, the later ones with the rear view thing look a bit boxy and more likely to rip off. Mine ('94) has brushed off everything so far, but mine is a bit of a shiney!

Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.

Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
I have fitted one to and LN130 89 year and it was an ass to say the least. Im sure 93 onwards will have the provisions for them though. Deff helped with dust on the back window and exhaust with the window down. As for getting ripped off, unless you like to drive upside down in your truck I would say rather unlikely. From memory there only a little higher than the roof as there out the back more than up. Plus ide hate to see that state of your roof if thats a real issue for you 

Re: Is it easy to fit a spoiler to a surf?
I've got a blue one for sale with all nuts bolts and loom PM if interested. Easy to fit.
