Interior air filter on a Tacoma?

I know Bob has a write-up about cleaning the interior air filter or something like that. I was under the impression that the Tacoma doesn't have one.

BUT ever since Superstition (lots of dust) I've smelled dust whenever I have the vent or A/C on. Is there something I need to clean out? I thought it'd air itself out but it's been almost 3 weeks and it's as strong as it ever was.

I don't think the Taco has a cabin air filter.
Or the 4Runner for that matter?

yeah bro the taco doesnt come with an in-cabin airfilter... ive taken apart the entire a/c duct and found lots of dust and ended up wiping it down.... i know some guys actually moded their ducts to incorporate a filter.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. I guess I just have a lot of dust in the ducts.
Grrr... if it ain't one thing, it's another...


EDIT:
Ha ha, I just realized I'm whining about dusty air
I wonder how many other people are dealing with shot engines and stuff.
