This is probably very old news to most but I'm shocked there isn't an easily accessible fuel filter to swap out in the 5th gen. I realize there is a large filter inside the fuel tank but I'm interested in running an aftermarket in-line filter that I can swap out every couple of years. My thinking is a second filter in the system would considerably extend the life of the tank fuel filter.
I realize this isn't "necessary" but swapping out the filter always made a big difference in my old Pathfinder, especially with the diet gasolene that we have out here in California. If I swapped out my aftermarket fuel filter in a few years and it was dirty, I'd be happy I spent the money.
This is the kit I found from 8Runner Offroad:
Fuel Pump and Filter Upgrade Kit | 2010+ 4Runner – 8Runner Offroad, does anyone have any experience with it? It would be extremely overkill in terms of quality, but I love that it uses stock quick disconnects (which I also didn't know about) and no clamps involved.
Interested to hear any feedback good or bad.
