Just cut a 10" circle form window screen wire and fold over the intake tube then sholve intake tube back into the airbox. It works great and you can leave the tube sucking cool air from front of the radiator like it was designed to without all the trash. Took about 10 minutes & $0.50 worth of material and takes about 5 minutes or less to remove, clean, and reinstall.

This mod took about two hours and about $2 worth of screen wire and 3 packs of Krazy Glue. I laid the wire across the grill after poping out the black setion and then applied the super glue t corners to hold in place. then I cut the wire between the panels and then trimed the excess wire and then finished glueing the wire to grill back. Then when dry I reinstalled the blach portion of grill, then reinstalled in Jeep. The one thing to remember is leave a small amount of slack for reinstall of inner grill.

So far it works great and no increase in engine temp, will try it out this weekend sometime on the road across bug & crap alley. Will take after pictures.

These are pic's of mosquito's after a run through bug ally, the big stuff was not out due to rain. The mosquito's were as you can see, out in force thanks to rice fields. Nothing got passed the screen and into airbox or even to the screen in airbox tube.
