I was hoping to get an insight on mileage longevity ie: 100 or 200k miles? BTW thank you for the prompt reply. 
A not so great way to add airflow

Most welcome.
I know some land cruisers owners with the 5.7 engines who have pushed there rigs to 200k miles with a lot of abuse from day one. I know one who used to take road trips to Saudi Arabia many times a year who has reached around 300k and still running strong. But its difficult to hit high milage numbers here since it’s a very small country. My house to the dunes for example is only about 20 miles.

Very interesting to see how others in other conditions use their 200's Here in the states there is a wide range of usage, mountains, deserts, forests and cities.
Does the store had a website? Looking for tuning parts for my 3UR and it's pretty limited here in Aus as most shops want to just cater to the Diesel segment (which makes sense given the massive sales figures difference)

Took my 200 to the dunes again today this time with much cooler weather though thankfully. I only had 3 wheel drive though my passenger side axel was broken.
The more I try it the more I noticed an increase in power and engine responsiveness. Maybe it's just in my head.

I may have missed this but what headers & exhaust are you running?
الله يبارك فيك حبيبي
Curious if these fit fine on RHD models as well or if there's clearance issues.
Keep the original throttle body. Take it to a machinist and have them bore it out and turn you a new butterfly. It's rather cheap. That is the bottle neck with every stock intake. No matter how cold the air is or the size of the plumbing going in it has to pass the throttle body. If you already have the long headers and let the motor breath like crazy your going to have to do some work on the top end of the motor to keep up. Upgraded valve springs and lifters ect. Good luck!
Thank you for posting.
I have been trying to find something similar for some time.
To continue this thread: I am also in the process of purchasing the AFE cold air intake + scoop.
What size larger throttle body should I install? What is the stock and what should the larger one be? Has anyo e tried this?
2010 LX570. I forgot to mention.
Looks like a scope head for water... although granted most of us will or should never go in deep water with the starter and alternator all getting a swim.
How do you let air in with the hood sealing at the front? Did you remove the cover ducting cold air to the radiator...? That will change the cooling effectiveness quite a bit. Oh my...
Overall seems;
- Toyota has setup the inlet in the top of the wheel well to minimize scoping in water and dust. A snorkel up the A-pillar is a known next best solution.
- Air temperatures would be similar between front or side entry
