You can remove the filter with the FE skid plate. I can reach it with no problems. I just thin I would make a mess without removal.
Land Cruiser Oil Change Skid Plate Removal?!!

How thick is the FE skid? Similar to a TRD skid plate? The picture makes it look like its on the thinner side.
My modification access panel will eliminate the mess and the need to remove the skid plate etc...... On my Tacoma, I cut a roughly 5x5 square hole flanged the hole aprox 1/2" , added rivit-nuts in the corners and fashioned a cover plate. Remove 4, 10mm bolts, install the oil filter drain line (Amazon link in the post above) tiny amount of oil is spilled.
I'm not sure. I've never had a TRD skid plate but it feels pretty sturdy to me.
I'm pretty sure it will, but when my FE comes in, I'll check. The funnel is tha bomb!
It is not. The TRD skids plates are 1/4” aluminum, the FE skid plates are 2.7mm steel (if I’m remembering the number correctly).
