Did you check Amsoil's website? Last time I looked at it, it was easy to navigate and had lots of info for each vehicle. Will tell you all the part numbers too.

If you're looking for something that flows nice and filters well and you don't have to oil look at the AEM dryflow. I don't know if they make a stock replacement filter for our truck though. I used one of the universal cones on my Porsche. The one that came with the MAF kit broke in 2.

the Amsoil website (with the help of a local dealer) is where i got the 2 pn's in my previous post i am wanting to steer clear of the oiled filters due to the oil that makes past the filter. the AEM dryflow is what i am looking for but i am running into a problem finding a compatible filter for the stock air box.

im looking for a dry filter, one that i can always keep a clean spare in the back so my gas milage dosent suck after a good day of playing in the mud. preferably to clean the dirty one and put it in the back to swap out and vise versa.

I know that you aren't looking at a K&N, but I don't understand everyone who swears by theirs... I bought a K&N when I first got my 4Runner and it flowed great, but it let a lot of crap in. Gauze filters are NOT the way to go. I have a True Flow now and it flows good and filters great. You only need to clean/oil every 15,000 miles or so and if you don't go nuts on the oil you shouldn't have issues with it getting past the filter. I off-road quite a bit with zero complaints so far.

so you got the drop in from burtman industries?
i guess i could always just carry a stock paper filter for the ride home just in case. I just dont like all of the crap i am cleaning out of intake, MAF, and intake tube every time i change my oil. There is no telling what the actuall inside of my engine would look like if i didnt seafoam it.

I had a K&N for my taco and all it did for me (besides a little more power) was cause me to have to clean my MAF of dust, and take off my throttle body and clean it as well. Oil based filters are not the way to go for an everyday vehicle.

I use the good ol' OEM Toyota filters. Anything more.....is a waste of $$$. I'd rather just drop a nice new filter in everytime without having to worry about too much/not enough oil on the re-usable filters and possibly causing damage to the MAF etc. Plus, most of the aftermarket filters are gimicks

I ended up getting mine from a local dealer. I'm not saying that this is the one and only filter for you, but it is a good product.
Side note: Asked my mechanic friend about Seafoam as well and he mentioned that he had recently had quite a few cars come in that the owners had used Seafoam on that were hosed... So if you use it be VERY careful, but it might be safer not to. I used it before I talked to him about it, but he scared me enough to stop.
