Have been searching for a nice affordable option and came across these. I have used this same basic style previously (mass produced overseas) and have always had great results. A relocation kit is not rocket-science... so will see how the build quality is.
On previous aluminum versions like this that I have used, they are boss o-ring on the fittings. I always tossed the cheap o-rings and picked up better versions at my local hydraulic place. Combined with teflon tape on the threads, never had a leak. I know.. I know... teflon on boss o-ring lol
Last, I used loctite on the bracket bolt threads and all was good.
This kit caught my eye as it was the same version as I have used previously, but also came with barb fittings instead of just AN. For my applications, I would rather just do barbed fittings as I can just use basic hose.
Anyways, I have two kits on the way - will let you guys know how they turn out and if the quality is the same as what I have bought previously.

The idea for my 4runner(s) will be to flip the filter so it can be accessed from the engine bay - NOT the bottom of the vehicle. If needed to cut down on mess because of the anti-drain back valve, I will add in a tee in the hose with a valve so that I can drain the filter as best I can prior to removing the filter.
