Did you know your FJ Cruiser had this??

Did you know your FJ had a particle separator built into the intake? It does and you've probably never cleared the waste gate. So it has a little rubber fitting that allows these particles to fall out and let things in. but, it can get clogged, and yours probably is.

Made me look, and I had a small amount of debris
FWIW this is designed to drain water should you get it wet

That is correct!

Thanks! I’ll check mine on my 2013.

I have no idea where this part is. Your video doesn't show the location of the part.

Start with your breather box and you see your air filter.It's underneath that

[@diljot6482]

Cool piece of design. Interesting!

Holy cow! I just checked mine and it had sock lint in it…plus an anti-static dryer sheet! Who knew!?

[@michaelm.699]

That's for water

[@onenikkione]

Who knew. Good tip.

I've got a 2012 and i thought the airbox was sealed after the intake. Will check it out - hope its clean!
