This is another rip off from the dealer. The orginal one has foam on
it but if you buy a new one it does not( they got rid of it a couple
of years ago). If you buy a Fram air filter or a Jobber it will have
a small sheet of foam on it.
The biggest ripoff is that the TJ air filter sells for the same price
as the orginal one with the foam. They took it off but did not lower
the price.
The new filters look Identical to the YJ filters which are much lower
in price. Why does the dealer charge so much for TJ filter?

Go to your local parts store and get a Jobber and save $$.
