Well, what I am about to type really might not apply to you

I have replaced mine twice, but I have a 1" body lift and a different cab than you, most likely (my 3RZ is in a 1981 Hilux).
I can very easily access and replace my fuel filter without removing my tire, without lifting my truck with a jack, without removing any fender liner, and with standard hand tools. The first time I replaced it, my motor was mostly stock and I had no trouble at all, but the second time I replaced it, it was a PITA to reconnect the outlet line to the new filter because the TRD Supercharger has less room for the outlet line to run between its manifold to the fuel rail.
