Wow, the MSRP is not even that much. https://www.allmoparparts.com/sku/68257030aa.html

This is from a Forum sponsor where you can get 1/2 off shipping.
True MSRP of any MOPAR parts is so easy to find - no use anyone getting "robbed" by fake prices anywhere.
I've seen the discounts vary - sometimes Benny's site is a tad higher due to a slightly smaller discount than some, other times it's the other way around. But - the service is what I go by. And the MSRP is always the same for most of the online MOPAR sites.

So if you are going to buy from a dealer - walk in with a printout of the real MSRP you found online and let them explain it to you.

I have seen that before with some dealers that they will mark up parts above MSRP to gouge you that much more.
Me too. I would stand at the parts desk, with people behind me that could hear me, on purpose, looking up the msrp and telling them no way I’m paying above that.

I should say this is one specific crappy dealer. Jeep of Silverthorne, CO.

Autonation Jeep West’s parts department is amazing. Tell them I sent you.

I remember when air filters were 12 bucks. It was just a few minutes ago....

Air Filter 3.6 Jeep

I bought one of these not too long ago and held it up next to a Fram. EXACT same filter. I had another I bought off Amazon for 15 or 16 bucks awhile back that was EXACTLY the same as the Mopar. Could not tell a difference. Even the product ID numbers on the end were printed in the same way, place, and font as the Mopar.

I´ve been running these in my JL and JT for years. According to UOA´s, the range of silicon has been from 4ppm to 13ppm. Nothing extreme. The 13ppm I am pretty sure was in oil that had seen a trip to dusty Moab.

Sometimes some of these things are just plain funny.
Since when was the air box changed between 22 and 23 model years?

Fixed, adjusted, fixed, and mounted the second hand warn tube doors. Going to try them out on red cone tomorrow with a couple friends in their JL’s.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I had an issue with some of the anchors and TerraFlex (Heather) customer service took care of it ASAP. I was impressed how fast they took care of the issue.
Sw00per do you have a link for the rails?

That’s the scam when you live in a smaller city with only one dealership. Next time I will buy from Benny.
He's not only usually a money-saver, he's a really nice guy and the stuff, such as information, numbers and so on that he's provided us here is just that much value added you won't get most other places.
It's not just price, it's SERVICE.

I’ve used him before, but I didn’t even think of it for an air filter. I hope my dealership goes bankrupt.
