Sounds like I'll just need to buy a stack of OEM (or similar) filters for now.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a snorkel option that works on the Mojave. Maybe this winter I'll see if I can rig something up myself.
I agree this is your best bet.
I had a K&N filter on a TJ Jeep Wrangler. It spent a lot of time exploring the NV desert. We also have moon dust here. Anyway, I pulled the filter once to check it. The dust layer behind the filter in the intake tube was obvious. The filter was properly oiled, greased and installed. As soon as I got home I tossed the K&N, cleaned the intake tube and installed a good quality OEM style paper filter. I never saw that layer of dust again. I'll add that I spend a lot of time on BITOG. K&N filters seemed to be linked with higher levels of silicon in UOAs.

There are snorkels that fit Mojave, but you have to be willing to cut... AEV, and the Jeep Performance. I saw another system that was basically a prefilter that mounted on the cowl too, cannot find it right now... (edit, found it... 2018-Present 3.6L Wrangler/Gladiator Expedition Snorkel - Black Texture - Hauk Off Road)


JL/Gladiator Snorkel - American Expedition Vehicles - AEV (aev-conversions.com)
The AEV and Jeep Performance snorkels specifically list that they are not compatible with the Mojave.

The Hauk one won’t work either as the Mojave’s cowl is taller and the connectors won’t reach. It’s also a bad place for an intake if you’re trying to keep dust out as it’s low down and in a low pressure area. For dust avoidance you want the intake high.

Following up on this since I just bought a Mojave and am looking for a snorkel:
Not sure if it's a new development, but Hauk's website says their expedition snorkels fit the Mojave...
