Where is the fuel filter on my 3rd gen?
I have a 2000 4runner with the 3.4, and I can't seem to find the the fuel filter. I already checked the tech section, but my truck has a huge skidplate covering the driver side undy-body 
Could the fuel filter be hiding under this skidplate?

Its right under your drivers side rear seat door... Just get under and look up. Its attached to the bottom of the body.
I wouldnt recommend changing it though.... Its a pain in the ass because you have to deal with fuel and its torqued on there really good.
I didnt gain any performace either. Just an hour out of my time

Thanks guys, I decided not to change it since the car is only 5 years old, and still running decent. But, I did pour in some Redline fuel system cleaner to get rid of some the crap in the fuel system.

Toyota says these fuel filters are lifetime filters, so they don't have to be replaced. I think this is b.s. Go ahead and change it if u want, no one's stopping you.

Fuel lines are not so easy to replace, and once you know they're rusted, you'll know theres lots of crap in your engine too. Thats my $0.02 cents.
