Hydrophobic air filter cover for Trailhunter?

Has anyone come up with a hydrophobic air filter cover for their Trailhunter?

Interesting question. I heard it has drain holes to let water out that gets in from the top - is your intention to seal that up and then add a waterproof filter?

Just wanted to add the water resistant cover for extra protection.

Maybe something like

Yea if there’s an imminent storm on the way - rain sleet or snow - having a waterproof sock over the intake isn’t a bad idea until you forget about it one day and remote start.

No, not over the intake/snorkel it’s self but over the cone air filter as a pre filter that always stays on.

Have you installed a pre-filter? If so, which one and how has it been going? Thank you.

I have not. I was hoping for some recommendations. I might look at it more this next weekend.

So I purchased and installed today a “Filterwears” K338 pre-filter. Used a 6” clamp to secure and went for a drive. No issues so far. Will check in a week or two to make sure it stays in place. I hope that if water does get into the intake this winter that this stops any water entry into the engine. I did verify there are two small drain holes in the filter box. Bonus is that as this truck has a washable air filter and now a pre-filter, this should help to keep it clean as well.
