This is a '92 with the 4.0L, so it is fuel injected - even if it needs
a heat pipe, etc, I still think I can modify the hose to accept any
necessary hoses.

>Supposedly (I haven't found any tests on the web yet) these non-oiled filters work better than >the K&N oiled filters.
AEM Brute Force Intake Systems advertises as not needing oil. It's
also the only one I've ever seen that offers one an intake system for
the 2.5L YJ. I just assumed that not needing oil just meant easier
maintenance.
