I have an RCI skid plate with access door for the filter. Makes filter changes quicker, not to mention better protection.

Another +1 for the PITA factor.
Thanks for the tip on the aftermarket skid plate.

While I’m bitching, I also want to mention how those devious little pricks designed drivers side exhaust cross over EXACTLY at the front drivelines rear u-joint!!! In doing so, it “necessitated” a stupid little heat shield that needs removal. Someone at Toyota’s engineering department needs a strong kick in their tiny crotch.
