Better airbox to match with AEV Snorkel on the diesel

[jc99]

I take my Gladiator to some very dusty areas and was hoping to install the AEV snorkel with the prefilter to reduce the clogging up of the air filter, ie the cylone prefilter should reject most of the dust. Currently I keep swapping in and old air filter (in the factory box) when I get to the trails and then swap back to the clean one once I am back on the road, but it is a pain in the butt since the factory airbox is super tight, catches on everything when you try and open it and uses screws instead of clips for the lid.

Wondering if anyone has found a better airbox to pair up with the AEV snorkel on the Gladiator Diesel? AFE said their Momentum box wouldn't seal up with the AEV snorkel. AFE also has a replacement top and cone filter for the factory airbox that might work, "might" open easier as well, but doesn't give you a view of the filter to know when its getting dirty which would be a nice to have.

There's a thread about the AEV snorkel, and one of the members shared their installation pictures they are using the basic AFE intake with the AEV snorkel. I'll look for it.

I installed the AEV Snorkel with the prefilter on my 2022 Gladiator Rubicon Diesel to minimize dust intake and my OEM filter lasts a very long time with very little dust getting past the round prefilter. I believe it is the best accessory I have installed on my rig.
