Use a paper filter, K&N filter and one of these, take them out, test off road where dust protection is critical... these keep more dust out than Toyota OEM paper filters do (therfore they are better than they are at protecting engine) and produce more air flow due to the nature of it's design than the OEM paper filters which makes car work better too (Something K&N talk about, without sacrificing protection like K&N but increasing it).
So I would say that in it self makes it the best filter you can get regardless of all the back and forth opinions.
The Unifilter filters do indeed look promising. I live in the desert and dust control is obviously a high priority. I've tried a bunch of filters - K&N (just because, but never felt really confident with it), OEM (experiemced increased restriction after not many miles), AEM Dry (best so far and really no complaints) - but always on the lookout for a better solution.
I've ordered a couple of the Unifilter units to test on my 2013 Land Cruiser 200. Thanks for the info!
If the Sequoia airbox could fit, then Volant has a PowerCore (Donaldson) setup that would work for your application. Best filter on the market in terms of efficiency, and amazing loading capacity as well.
Start here:

Then use their search tool to find the kit.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it would be a good choice.
The stock air box on my Land Cruiser is already Cold Air Intake, and the tube from the air box to the throttle body looks to be larger diameter than the Volant unit:
Also, there would probably be some fitment issues that would require modification to the Volant unit to fit the Land Cruiser - not something I'd be keen to do on such an expensive unit.
