Air Filter Condition @ 5K Miles After Some Off-Roading... Check It

[Oscargrouch323]

These broncos suck a lot of air. Check out my filter at 5k miles.

What were the driving conditions?

Some soft dirt. These trucks just suck a lot. Going to consider a prefilter..going to figure one out

Soft dirt meaning dust?
Plus a turbo sucking it all in, ya it’d be like that. Needs a pre filter or better airbox to stop the dust from getting in.
Maybe a plastic open mesh at the airbox opening to stop some of it but not to clog?

Anyone offroadig this thing..needs a pre-filter. This one got that bad and I was ahead of the pack. So if your following someone it would be worst.

The air filter should get dirty in dirty conditions. Then conditions and the quality of the filter determine the replacement timeframe. A dirty filter is not cause for concern unless dirt is getting through it or it is plugged. This one appears to be doing it's job.

You are very correct. It did its job perfectly.i have no concern with it. Just would prefer a reusable. This will get expensive quick

4 bolts..to remove the cover. That's it

Second question: How expensive was the standard replacement? Reasonable, I presume.

The air filter on my John Deere looks like that at the end of every grass cutting season.
