Absolutely mate - it’s pretty compelling story when you see what we have put it through and how it has worked perfectly!!!

​@@great_offroad_adventures yes 100%. From what I've seen, unfortunately half the issue is purely bad practices...seals folded over, cheaper non-oem filters, incorrectly maintained oiled filters. Then the other half is warping of the plastic box due to heat. Either way glad there's a trusted solution for it.

That’s why I’ve shared this story - to help out other people.

Sure do sound good….airbox and exhaust system and the V8 cruiser has quite the enjoyable sound track

Good move - I wish I had of known more and done more research when I first got my 200.

Thanks for the feedback mate - I’m glad you liked it.

Yeah I think I explained my reasoning in the video…..but I ain’t no fool, not after the hard lesson we learnt the first time.

@@great_offroad_adventures well to be fair it's not a lesson a 200 series owner should have to learn. Clearly not a premium airbox from factory, dropped quality on such a vital component for an Australian climate. Shocking how distorted and out of shape they can get. New box surely works a treat 👍

Yea I'm keen for some more info on this aswell. Chasing those torque figures.

And it doesn’t look any better on the 300s either 😬

Hahaha - yep, great minds think alike 🤣

Hey Lee. Around town to work and back around 13.5L/100km (our 200 is obviously far from stock), towing the camper we average 17-18L/100km and that’s cruising at 100kph it can go up to 20 if in hills or with a headwind.

Remap/ Dyno Tune mean the samething…I’ll try and explain. Remap - is the new “map” / file/ tune that your ECU now uses to run/ control the engine. Dyno - is the actual tool used to measure, power, torque, AFR (air fuel ratio), boost, speed all that. Dyno Tune - is the process of putting the car on the dyno and running it standard, observing things like AFR level, boost level, etc…..then a new tune/ map/ file is put into the ECU and it is run on the dyno again, differences are observed and you continue making tweaks/ changes and refinements until a fine tune/ file/ map is completed and then left in the car as its new tune or ECU remap. Obviously in that process it’s very important the person who is doing the tuning, understands what adjustments to make & how to keep everything safe, that’s why it’s important the tuning is done on a dyno because the tuner can observe and measure the differences as they go…..you don’t want a tune loaded off a laptop in a carport and sent on your way….because how do you know it’s safe, how do you know it’s been checked on a dyno to ensure it best suits you car. Tuning is an area where you want to ensure your using someone reputable, with alot of experience and that knows what they are doing and can explain the changes they are making to you.

Never had any issues luckily 🤞🏻 - long may it last too 😬.

No it won’t take a standard filter and having seen some people run a standard filter in a steel box, it’s still seen dust get through, hence why I went with a box that takes a different filter. So it takes a duramax 6.6L filter, and as the yank tanks become more popular, these filters will become easier and easier to get whilst travelling all that being said, I start a trip with a fresh one and take 2x new ones with me as well.

@@great_offroad_adventures Thanks mate, good to know.

Not a provent but a Process West Seperator catch can

Thanks mate, we use the Wix 46678 filters - it’s what Moonlight supply and as they are local to me it’s very easy to keep getting them….and they work obviously.

@@great_offroad_adventures thanks for great video. who can install these filter boxes in perth?

Any mechanic or 4WD shop can, it is very very simple - the DIY kit you get from Moonlight has very detailed instruction that you’ll be able to follow yourself. I will even extend an offer to install it for you.

@@great_offroad_adventures ok thanks mate..love your info on videos on all topics .still remember the winch install and operation .

Yeah I’ll see what I can organise 😉

Under the intercooler - drivers side front corner, grey 4 pins & goes to the fuel pump in the valley from memory.

@@great_offroad_adventures Thanks bud. Great videos. I feel your pain. I've just done what you've done. 😭😭😭

Still didn’t resolve the warped airbox issues I had the plastic Toyota panel airbox……best things they could of done would of been to retain the circular airbox…..but nope and the 300 is the same, luckily the aftermarket can fill the void and fix the issues.

I’ll take responsibility for modifications when Toyota take responsibility for their F*** ups….like an airfilter assembly that doesn’t give the engine clean air. Does that sound fair?

Well said! I’m another one that has a dusted 200. 150k, barely been on a dirt road and have been waiting 6 months for the new engine that arrived last week. Might have to rethink my newly bought S/S PatrolDocta air box. I’ll use it and monitor it but any sign of dust it will come out. You still think the genuine air filters pass dust?

Yeah still not a fan on factory air filters…..give it a run & monitor it closely…but any sign of dust ingress and I’d be tossing it.

​@@jeffdownunder4116what do you think of patroldocta airbox ??

@@rezuuz I ended up not using it and bought a Moonlight box using Wix filters. I still had nightmares from genuine filters and as PatrolDocta uses genuine decided not to use it and sold it on. Very, very happy with the Moonlight/Wix combination and not the slightest sign of dust on the clean side in just over 20k kilometres.
