John.
As for southernjeeper, I guess I have to spell it out on everyone's behalf (and everyone needs to correct me if I'm wrong at any point). I'm also removing the quote function so all of

Why do u say its a gravel trapper?
Because that is the largest contaminant the K&N is able to catch.
Does your paper trap rocks too?
Why yes, it certainly does. Along with everything else your K&N allows through....
Well, first what's a UOA. Spell it out.
If you have no idea what a UOA is after 11.5 years of being a member (07/05/04), I can't help you. I sense a troll...
For y'all that are gung oh on doing analysis on everything from cutting oil filters to testing everything and all... That's just anal.
For those of y'all that are "gung oh" on defending garbage products like K&N air filters or LOS, wait sorry, Lucas Oil Stabilizer "and all"... That's just dumb. I also sense a LOS user....
To drive anything with an internal combustion engine we don't need to know the inner workings like that unless you are that type of person or that bored.
Well, to each their own, but we'll remember this post if we see your Jeep broke down on the side of the road. What color is it? We'll also imagine how many contaminants got through that filter to make that happen.... This also implies you don't "know the inner workings" of that "internal combustion engine." Do you know where your blinker fluid is?
I generally clean the K&n every year. I dint it as much as I once did all because of the safety of driving a newer vehicle with airbags.
We here at BITOG, darn I did it again, Bob is the Oil Guy, do not recommend "dint"ing your air filter. That generally compromises the structure of it. Wait, on second thought, it may be an improvement. Nevermind. Just don't make any sudden movements in the vehicle, as it may aggravate the K&N gods and it may send K&N shrapnel through said air bags.
It's a farm jeep and would be used more if wanted now but it's lasted since me being a guy and 16 years old when I started driving it.
It has lasted because you haven't driven it as much...since being a 16 year old guy. This implies you are at least 17, and that you are a woman (trans-gender?). This may explain why you don't "know the inner workings of an internal combustion engine" like most other women (not being sexist, just stating facts.)
I can say the company started something great when they were introduced those some odd years of theirs. It may be not the best to some to consider but for the money it was well worth it for me.
Why yes, they did start a great cash cow, that you were fooled into assisting. If I never lifted my jeep my mileage would be better.
This implies you aren't getting better mpgs. Contradicting information to your next sentence. Jeeps aren't necessarily aerodynamic but years back I was doing anything to help with better mpg's.
Oh well to the ones that bash their products.
Opinions are like bleep. Everybody has one, right?"
Yep, opinions are like bleep. At least ours don't smell like cash cow seep. That's why we don't put K&Ns on our Jeep. With the extra cash in our pockets, we'll be able to sleep.
