Besides being just plane wrong and insulting , how bad is it to mount an fj40 diesel air cleaner on a 2f?
The one I assumed the diagram pointed to is the bj4x. It sits nicely on the passenger side with the same style inlet hose.The diagram looks like a 60 series not from any 40 series. They did make a cyclone air cleaner for the 40 series 2F.

These were primarily used in Australia on 40 series. The one pictured above would probably be fairly easy to use on the 3FE in our FJ62.
I was looking to do this on my 40 when I was going through the rebuild process, I never found o e for a reasonable price, plus I think there were other mods that would have needed to be done. If I remember right the battery would need to be relocated.Besides being just plane wrong and insulting , how bad is it to mount an fj40 diesel air cleaner on a 2f?

My vote goes with the ROW air cleaners for 2F, they are far better (like @Living in the Past posted).

I wound up finding a middle eastern filter housing from a 43 a few hour drive away.
That depends on where in the world you are. My side of the block, diesels are more common than petrols, especially with the 45s. I see probably 3x more 2H powered 45s than 2F powered.Question: why? Diesel parts are significantly harder and more expensive to source, and it would require making extra brackets to mount it

In the 70s and 80s here they pulled the 2Fs out at the dealers and replaced with 2Hs. Only until about 2 months ago, petrol was more expensive than diesel
I know it's not the cyclone style style. What make this a snow version? I have the cold weather version for a 73. Those have a damper that changes the intake to a tube facing the engine by the exhaust manifold.
I'm in Zimbabwe, BJ42s are super rate here. In fact, all 40s are rare. It's the 45s we get.I know the diesel HJ47 and BJ42 had superior numbers over the FJ40 and FJ45. Looking at Amayama Trading I see cyclone air cleaners for FJ40, FJ45, HJ47 8/80 and later. But do not show Australian market having them on the BJ42 which I find hard to believe. Figure the BJ42 was more common than the FJ40 and would have a cyclone air cleaner as well. Being your in the land of Qz where a large percentage of 40 series were imported have you seen cyclone air cleaners on the BJ42?

In fact, off the top of my head, the only BJ40 I've seen was a LX model with the 3B in it. Can't remember what air cleaner it had
