Snowbound Customs Chase Light Spoiler l 3rd Gen 4Runner 96 - 02

The Ultimate Chase Light Upgrade — TIG-Welded Spoiler That Replaces Your Factory Cap Hand-welded in the USA, with integrated mounts for Baja Designs S2 chase lights. Snowbound's chase light spoiler is the cleanest way to add rear-facing chase lights to a 3rd Gen 4Runner — because the mounts are in the spoiler, not bolted to it. The spoiler is a direct replacement for the factory plastic cap on your rear hatch, with cutouts machined for Baja Designs S2 pods welded straight in. The result is a finished, OEM-look upgrade rather than something that screams "add-on". Each one is 100% manufactured and welded in the USA from locally sourced high-quality materials — every weld is laid down by hand on a TIG, and the light mounting holes are pre-threaded so you don't need to chase nuts behind anything. Spoiler mounting holes are countersunk so the factory screws sit flush against the new spoiler. What you're getting: Hand TIG-welded in the USA — a piece of work, not a cast lump. Integrated Baja Designs S2 cutouts — the pods drop into the spoiler instead of bolting on top. Threaded light mounting holes — install the S2s without fishing nuts. Countersunk spoiler mounting holes — factory screws sit flush, no proud heads. Direct replacement for the factory 3rd Gen 4Runner rear hatch spoiler. What are chase lights for? Chase lights are a safety upgrade for convoy and trail driving. On dirt or in fog the dust kicked up by your truck makes it hard for anyone behind you to see your brake lights. Chase lights sit higher and run much brighter than the factory tails — so the truck behind can follow your line cleanly and you don't get rear-ended on the trail. You'll also need: Baja Designs S2 light pods The spoiler is just the spoiler — the light pods are sold separately. The cutouts are sized specifically for the Baja Designs S2 series (Sport, Pro or SAE). Pair it with a rear-facing pair in amber or red for chase use, or whatever colour suits your build. Fitment note This spoiler is built around the 3rd Gen 4Runner rear hatch profile. The JDM Hilux Surf rear hatch and factory spoiler differ from the 4Runner — these are intended for 4Runner bodies only. Frequently asked questions Will it fit my Hilux Surf? These are designed for the 3rd Gen 4Runner rear hatch (1996–2002). The Hilux Surf of the same era uses a different rear hatch and spoiler design, so these aren't intended to fit a Surf without modification. Does it come with the light pods? No — the spoiler is the spoiler only. Add Baja Designs S2 pods separately (Snowbound's cutouts are sized specifically for the S2 series). Is the spoiler painted or finished? It's supplied raw / weldable aluminum unless otherwise noted — most owners powder coat it gloss black or match it to their truck. Check current product photos for the exact finish on the latest batch. How does it install? It's a direct replacement for the factory spoiler — unscrew the factory cap, drop this on, refit the screws (countersunk for a flush finish), then mount your S2 pods through the threaded holes.
