Toyota has a diverse supply chain to support its business operations. In Japan, Toyota buys directly from 200 component suppliers. Based on data from Toyota's headquarters, the 200 suppliers account for 2 billion units of which 150,000 types are purchased monthly.
Kyosan Denki is a Denso Group member, hell the 3.4 got ND and NGK plugs ..fuel filter isn't super special.

Or you can do what toyota recommends and not replace it. They are supposed to be lifetime filters.

lifetime meaning like 10-15 years or so. I think spending $20-$40 and replacing it is a good call on a rig like mine with 215k miles... even if the only real benefit is the satisfaction of wrenching and having my engine bay have one less rusty old part in it

I slapped a wix on mine and reused the bracket. Wix makes good filters, and if you're going to go aftermarket, then it's best to try to use the quality parts. As for me, nothing has exploded yet soooo...

I don't believe in anything "lifetime" like the ATF on the newer BMW's.

Land Rover claimed the ATF in the ZF trans on mine was lifetime. Turned out ZF put out a service bulletin clearing stating the fluid should be changed under normal use @ 120K, under heavy use @ 80K.
lifetime != forever, you got that right on.

lifetime = just past the drivetrain warranty period.

Eat at home instead of going out to eat. In my opinion, the peace of mind you're buying by going with OEM is worth it. We know OEM fuel filters can give you 100's of thousand trouble-free miles. Will the Wix or other aftermarket filter do the same? Nobody probably knows because they haven't been able to put 200-300k on a Wix or other aftermarket fuel filter. Go with the proven OEM filter and call it a day.

Yeah, for something that you change every 200k or so why bother cheaping out. Especially on something that can leave you stranded it if collapses etc.

How did you get the bracket off the original? 10 mm wrench? I've been soaking the bolt / nut with Kroil and can't get it loose. The nut appears to be tack-welded to the frame so I am assuming the bolt comes out.
I also ordered Wix not realizing it didn't come with bracket. I've also now ordered an OEM with bracket but would hold the OEM if I could get the bracket onto the Wix. Thanks.

There is no trick to it, just loosen the bolt and the bracket will slide off the filter. If it is too rusty to get the bolt out then I guess that is another issue. Cut and replace the bolt?

Oh man, I'm pretty sure I was able to pry it enough to slip the old one out, or maybe i did just unbolt it, can't quite remember.

I replaced my fuel filter last weekend and it was more work than I thought. Saw online videos and thought it would be easier than an oil change. But on the 3rz-fe vehicles the filter is under the intake manifold.
