I love that guy. When I get it from him it is always the right part!
a good way to get a feel for prices is to compare what Specter Offroad sells them for and what toyotapartsdeal.com sells them for
but then, you can always go with Kurt @cruiseroutfit, he's almost local to you

Why does the Toyota dealer tell me this won't fit my 96 LC 80 series? (17801-61030)
They tell me I need the 17801-66030. ($18.66 + Frt)

Amazon claims both fit a '93 80
Because they don’t know what they are talking about.
Now stump them even more and ask them the differences between the two.
That's what I thought.
I did a little more looking and it appears that the first one listed is the washable unit VS the other. Secondly, the first one is also installed in the non-US version (7x series, etc.) Am I correct? -ish?
they are all washable

actual no there is a cheap OEM version that isn't washable.
Which is "not so cheap........" There's like $4 difference between the two, but the cheap one isn't washable.
I have been using this Denso non-washable for $19

Just for fun:
I did some air filter / dust testing when I worked for Polaris Ind. (Worked there for a decade, 5 years R&D). The testing was done on RZR and RANGER product lines because of high warranty claims for engine failure and oil burning. We tested thousands of miles sucking dust and testing air filtration will all sorts of fancy electronics on the trail. Also did automotive style testing in a lab with particulates in an encased test cell (same as OEM automotive testing). My co-workers called me dusty.
- The absolute BEST filtration was easily attained by any deep pleat, paper filter. Even cheap FRAM filters rock. Donaldson filters were above and beyond the best.
- The absolute WORST filtration was "K&N" style filters. New, used, out of the box, or extra oil applied - these let through TONS of particulates. They have good air flow for performance, that's it.
- The foam / oil style filter (like some dirt bikes) or oil foam wraps also helped quite a bit and work well.
- Foam over paper pleated filters ROCK, but restrict air flow.
So, I'm not familiar with the Land Cruiser washable filter, but would hesitate to use it - but that is just me. YMMV !!!!

Im no filtration RnD guy but I would say so. And non woven fabric media. Im sure Mr T did a little testing as well. Its impressive what it catches. I kept the non washable and toss it in till the other is dry and cruise on.
We've got the cyclonic effect and the tuna can too. Probably one of the best commercial auto. air filtering system ever.
You will save a bunch of money buying OEM washable filters, I have 2 that I rotate in and clean the one I just removed at every oil change...will last a looooong time before finally needing a new one...= savings
