What is this black exhaust type thing coming off the side of this land cruiser? What is it for?

It is a fresh air snorkel. The purpose is to raise the air intake so water won't be sucked into the engine while crossing streams or deep puddles.
For a real off roader, the exhaust will also be vented high so there is no water ingress into the engine.

Also used in the desert to reduce the amount of dust drawn into the filter. – Sam Oct 22 '15 at 8:44
