I just run an ebay special cone filter on mine. Not ideal as its open to the elements but keeps most of the crud out.

I would recommend some kid of filter as there is quite a lot of suction power from the engine and leaves can easily be sucked in.

I want to try and fit an original air box to have a proper filter again.

Never run a 4x4 without and airfilter, well unless you want to prematurely kill your engine.
