Donaldson air pre-filter (1 Viewer)

[peneumbra2]

Donaldson is known for making high-quality filters. I want to replace the simple intake atop my snorkel with an actual filter.
Has anyone had experience with Donaldson filters in this application, and what's the best one to use for an FZJ80?

I run a Top Spin HD. It’s an all metal unit and actually a bit heavy for the standard Safari snorkel. I had to swap out the A pillar square plastic screw nuts for Nutserts as I had the screws shear out on a trip. Other than that, it does a great job at keeping my air box clean, as well as the tuna can. I can’t remember the part number on the one I went with. It took a bit of research. I think I am running a rubber sleeve between the snorkel and the pre cleaner so it may be a 4” inlet diameter. Similar specs to a Sy-Klone 9001.

I looked at the Donaldson cyclonic pre-filters, but ended up going another route on my rig. Wrote about it here if you're interested in other options:

Overthinking things - Need some advice on a snorkel

The comments about cleaner filters from you guys with snorkels is changing my mind. If the raised intake really does help that much, maybe my dust concern is a non-issue. I really like the end result you've got there @Box Rocket. It's a pity about needing to mess with the neck of the snorkel...

I run the larger Donaldson cyclonic filter on my 80, started with the smaller version, but didn’t like the “swoosh” noise it created and switched to the larger version. I find it very effective for catching dust before it enters the filter housing,
which I think is the biggest (only?) reason that I have a snorkel.

Kurt @cruiseroutfit sourced them for me ~10 years ago, I would give those guys a call.

OT but how are your fog/amber lights on ARB setup? Is it a mount they are on?

They are the Baja Designs flush mount versions mounted in an angled housing to help compensate the angle of ARB bumper that a friend designed and machined at his manufacturing company.
