It's a pre-heated air tube that goes from an outside fitting on the ex. manifold to the air box to pre-heat air when in warm up mode. I found mine just hanging there too. I removed it when I put my K/N intake in, nothing noticeable.

That tube really only makes a difference on carbureted vehicles, helps delay the onset of carb icing in cold, humid conditions. EFI- no big deal.
Looks like all the other CCV lines are still in the area from the airbox delete. Make sure if you get a junkyard airbox you find one that doesn't have bowed out sides.

Actually I like the intake. I don't do no mud boggin' or deep water.
The "heater" hose is basically useless IMHO.

dude... i can understand a thumb in the picture... but your palm? ever used a camera before?
Thanks for a pointless post!
The reason for the finger is:
- It's my iPhone camera and
- the sun was creating a difficult picture
So, for people like you that complain about minute details, I fixed the sunlight issue.

anytime. 
if you really want to get picky about it, take the picture with the sun to your back, or you could have turned the jeep around and used the hood to block the sun. but maybe next time right?
if you want something constructive; i vote making a heat sheild for your current setup, you said you were thinking about making a box for it. im not into mud or deep water, so that would be my plan of action. and as said, the hose is essentially pointless.

Nope. I don't care that much about not having my flesh in the picture. It shows exactly what I wanted it to show.

With that filter hanging out in the engine compartment, you have a version of air pre-heater anyway. Real old school. Most people figured out by now that COLD air intake makes more horsepower.
