New Burtman Spoiler!!!!

Received my Burtman Industries spoiler today!! Paint / Installation coming a bit later this summer. Super pleased with quality.
 
I just ordered mine and Jasons very responsive and already gave me a good feel for his type of work. He responded right away asking to confirm the color code for my 4runner.

I'm looking forward to it and will post up pictures of the install when I get it in hand.

So far, this is one of those external mods that definitely makes your truck stand out.
 
Just Recieved mine!

Hello!
I got my spoiler, it took a month to recieve it. Looks amazing, I am just trying to figure out if I am personally going to install it or send it to a shop to have them do it. I will update with photos when done!

I just broke the mounting brackets off my 2000 4Runner wind deflector/spoiler. If any of you who have converted to the Burtman would be interested in selling your old mounting brackets please let me know.
 
I don't think it does. If I remember, I had one customer that had the rear ladder, but not sure who it was???

Here's the OLD Jaos ladder, his wasn't this, but a cool pic:

Hey I would love to get my hands on that Jaos ladder for 3rd gen. Do you know where I can get one?

Also, rear spoilers still avail, made to order. Things have been taking longer but still being made.

make a youtube video with step by step. the video listed in above posts does not do that, just shows taking out of box and then installed.
 
I'd purchased this spoiler a few years back and never got around to installing it; I'm debating whether to finally hava body shop install it while they're re-painting my hood or just sell it on here... Leaning towards the latter...

First post in this forum so take it easy on me ;)

I was hesitant to pick up the Burtman spoiler because I didn't want to drill into my 4Runner, but it looked pretty damn cool and that carried more weight in my decision to add this mod.
Preferred to make a video as someone mentioned above but I had no idea what I was doing or how I was going to do it. I did capture some photos of my install.

I just removed the original spoiler, few screws/simple task.
Here are some photos with it on and removed.
You need to remove the stock break light just to wire in the new one on the Burtman spoiler.






The next step was to align the new spoiler where I wanted it to go, Burtman provides the white alignment strips.
You pretty much use these stickers as guides on where to drill (it's a white strip of paper that has a drill hole in the center).
I used painters tape to hold the spoiler in place. Once you remove the spoiler in this step, it leaves the white tabs you see sticking out, this shows where to drill.




I drilled a pilot hole from the outside all the way through, there were 3 layers to go through.
I then used a unibit from the inside of the hatch to get the hole big enough to fit the head of the screws.
On the inner right hole, I drilled an additional hole to run the electrical for the break light.
I opted to keep the original break light as well and added T connectors for the spoiler break light.
I did all wiring and reinstalled the stock break light before doing the final install of the Burtman spoiler.

You can see the screws from this photo. The spoiler has 4 areas to attached the screws.
The hole on the left side marked in RED interfered too close to the current electrical line so I decided to use Gorilla Heavy Duty Mounting Tape for this area.




In hindsight, knowing what I know now... I would have just used 2 screws on the inner mounts and would have opted to use the mounting tape to the two ends.
Also want to note regarding the 3 layers you have to drill through, I opted to find the same but longer screws at my local HD store.
This allowed me to not widen the inner layer hole (tough for me to explain, but worked well for me).

Here are some shots of the finished job.





I consider myself a novice, was able to do this mod and happy with the results.
 
[MENTION=735736]bliclican[/MENTION] Thanks for the nice write-up and detailed photos. Very nice.

I'm still doing these spoiler for those that want them. Posts like these keep this project alive.

Covering the holes

Hey guys, has anyone figured out a good way to plug the holes up on the inside of the hatch? So far I used some Dorman diaphragm grommets and they work alright, the problem is that the holes drilled are more ovular than circle so it was hard trying to find one that fits in the hole in the first place but they still don't really fit that well

Here's an example of what I used :https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/dorman-conduct-tite/dorman-conduct-tite-diaphragm-grommet/cti0/90303/v/a/7921/automotive-suv-1998-toyota-4runner?q=dorman+grommet&pos=4

They aren't exactly supposed to be used for the purpose I used it for but gotta make do with what you got.

Here's some pics of what my hatch holes look like. I could remove more material to make them circular to work better with the diaphragm grommets but I don't feel like taking more material off & I don't really like the grommet fix anyways.
