I have Rustys K&N cone filter conversion with the 6x9 K&N air filter! If you want to run a duel battery you HAVE to go with the smaller filter because there is no room to put a battery.
Anyway the kit was cheap!! WAY worth the money!!!!
Mine is kinda ghetto rigged though!!
Sludge comes out of the top of my valve cover through the valve cover hose.
When I had it connected up to the stock air box like it is supposed to be I got this nasty sludge drip onto my airfilter all the time!! So I was constantly changing my air filter. The sludge is basically a mix of oil and water. I think the water comes from condensation.
So Instead of ruining my brand new K&N I bought an extra piece of hose and connected that to the end of the Valve cover hose as you can see in the pic! Now all that nasty juice just runs down under the car! Actually it basically drips onto my driver side shock! but that’s okay I guess cuz its never going to rust now!! LOL
So because I did that with the hose I now have an open hole in the metal bracket the hose was supposed to connect to! So what did was I went to my local hardware store got a small piece of hose and some plumbing equipment and ghetto rigged a $10 breather from auto zone up to it!
....Although I no longer run that set up! I took off the breather so now all the air flows threw the K&N!
When I took off the breather I threaded a HUGE bolt into the hose to block it up!
The whole configuration works great! and it was cheap as hell! Rustys off-road air filter conversion kit is well worth the money!!!
It’s nice to have that whooshing sound under the hood!
Anyway I hope that helps!
Later, Ry

I have a jerry rigged k&n open element filter. The only thing I have found it good for is saving space. I have been wheelin latley in an area with lots of water. I have a fear of hydro-lock. When the water started to come over my hood and up into my cowl, I paniced. As soon as I get enough money im gettin an ARB snorkle, the cowl snorkle is a great idea but I dont know how much it would have done with the amount of water I was in. But not all people like to do deep water crossings ;D

Ya ARB snorkle is in my future, but I need to figure out how to mickey rig it to work with my intake and open element (I no longer have the factory air box.)
I an thinking of using a 97 F150 air box and modifying it.

I think it was www.dpgoffroad.comyeah that was it! They have this bazd a** system that hooks and ABR snorkal to this BIG a** silver can that has an air filter in it. Its kinda like an air box but not! Its 100% water proof I believe! Anyway I was going to buy it! but I decided not to do it yet b/c I'm broke! Anyway it might be worth checking out!

Me and Matt are in the process of trying to get our hands on a top part for an arb snorkle. I am using matts idea of the cowl snorkle (another tube goin from the air box to the cowl through the fire wall ) but extend the tube through the cowl to the side of the cowl on the drivers side and have a tube run up the side of the windsheild but try to keep it semi low profile so I dont hang it up on trees. And use the ARB top on it cause I like how it looks. I will take some pics when im done with it. I am looking at about 2-3 weeks till its done.

I dont like how the tube for the arb covers up half of the right side of the body, and I want to be able to see how close it is to trees so I dont catch it on anything... plus I want to be different ;D

I saw some tire prints in the sand back there yesterday...looked identical to BFG Muds

Yea I was back there a couple weeks ago...I dont wanna go back again... A cop came in and I played it off like I didnt know I wasnt supposed to be there. So he said just dont come back or I will get a fine. So im never goin there again... I cant afford to loose $250 for a couple hours of fun. That $250 could go towards a lift!

Maaan, that's one of the few places I actually have time to go and play at If you'd like to let me in on where you and Matt go locally, send me an email to JayT01757@yahoo.com ;D
