Cabin Air Filter Doing It's Job

Jut thought I'd make a quick post about the cabin air filters.

I live in San Diego county and my city and others around it were hit with a lot of big fires this past week and evacuations. I had just changed my cabin air filters prior to this but bought extras just to have around. Turns out I need to replace them again after the fires.

Filter Rectangle Floor


Middle is a brand new filter and the outside are after a couple months of normal street use plus the fires. I had to get into areas to evacuate a friend and their pets before they closed it off so it was pretty hairy at times.

Just thought I'd say if you aren't running them I'd recommend them as they really do work. Adding them or replacing them is very simple and you can find a few youtube videos on how to do it and the correct way to insert them.

Cheers!

Great shots of the filtering provided.
Had cabin filters in previous & current vehicles, and is definitely worth the price of admission.
Unless someone happens to live in one of those states where they never put the top on, I totally agree on their value. :thumb:

This was one of the first mods I did to my JK. I live in St. Louis, which because of geography, weather, and industry, has some serious air quality issues; people who move here and have never had allergy issues usually develop them. As soon as I learned that my Jeep didn't come with the filters installed, I added them immediately. And like the OP said, it's a very easy install, maybe 2-3 minutes tops.

Had a similar environmental problem here in NW Florida a few years back. You also have a air filter on your engine. Would be wise to change that one out too.

Which filter did you use? Not sure if it matters at all?...

Time to replace the 2 Cabin Air Filters behind the glovebox in the JKUR. They're Mopar PN 55111302AA

We're in the desert a lot and we have the AC on most all the time out there. Lots of dust and with the potential for valley fever - they're 2 good reasons not to breathe dust all day long.




That's a great price ($17.99 for a PAIR) with free shipping but...they're not MOPAR parts. Not that it matters to some. Just saying.

Here's what looks like their website:
https://air-filter.dvautoparts.com/discount-store/new-jeep-wrangler-carbon-cabin-air-w-jnjipiqkqnik

Best price I can find for Mopar parts is $14.76 (dealer wanted about $22.00 each today).
