In this situation a snorkel to a stock filter box would undoubtedly lead to a clogged filter. We run a massive dry filter inside the cab behind the glove box. I'll snag a pic to explain better.

In jest reason: There were no Malls on the route? Sorry just had to be a smart azz

No malls on the route of the Dakar Rally, either; but those pesky snorkels keep showing up:

Are you sure thats not the exhaust for the Flux Capacitor or the ram Air exit for the roof mounted scoop?

Our Chase team and support network is amazing, these guys are literally a light of hope after hours wandering through a random silt bed. Some aren't even in Mexico but provide web Chase support and communications to our entire team up and down the Baja Peninsula. @Trunk Monkey @woody @xiero and other have filled this role for us over the years and they all can't be thanked enough.

Awesome stuff!
Do you have formal reporting lines back to mother Toyota about the durability/reliability/failures of certain components for next gen improvements?
Obviously this is out of the ordinary use but it is “testing” that Toyota could capitalize on for basically free.
As you’re aware, the 200 front end is basically a beefed up 120 front end. Some diehard cruiser heads won’t like hearing that but the assemblies are nearly identical, just bigger on the 200. Curious to see what the front ends on the 300 look like seeing as Toyota had a few years to see how the 120 platform held up during the R&D phase of the 200.

Probably a fairly dumb question but what kind of wheel travel do you get setup to race?
As a guy who races cars I have no idea how I missed this. I have been doing circle track for years with a few years of SCCA IT mixed in. This year we won a track championship locally and went to Bristol Tn and bent a race car. It was fun.

We may get a wild hair and bolt them on. The tracks are for Ryan's Sequoia snow build.

Perfect timing. Race prep is about to kick off. It's been patiently waiting for some love and TLC, still under a layer of Baja dust, sweat and urine

Prep time
Is the silver thing inside the axle housing the cone to center the axle shaft for stabbing it? Are those normally loose? or just something you guys did for your prep or repair?

Good eye!
That is the axle tube baffle. They simply spring into clips in the axle housing. I pulled them out to inspect the tube for any material, cracks, etc. That will go back in when we inspect the diff and reinstall.
