Does the Terrain Tamer Air Filter Insert fix the LandCruiser airbox issue?
There are a fistful of factory, inbuilt oddities and design failures with the 70 Series LandCruiser line-up. Let’s forget the lack of cupholders, the rear track dimension and update the supposed air cleaner issue whereby it lets dust into the…
