Buy a "sock" that slips over it. My Harley uses an open K&N filter, and the kit it came with provided a fine mesh black "sock" that I can slide over it when it rains. I keep it in the saddle bag for this reason; you could keep it in the glove box, then you can remove it after the mudding event.

It does a good job of keeping the filter dry, still allows airflow, and in your case would easily keep the mud out of the filter.

yes i have to get one of these for my 02... there called "pre-filters" i beleive thats what you are talking about

Could be...I've seen them for sale seperately, but cannot remember the company names or web sites. A quick check on K&N's site would be good to check.

Highly recommend doing something. I almost lost a motor to water because of an intake.
