If you are going to keep the remote filter do yourself a favor and take the lines to a hose shop. I had the cheap low pressure crap hose and weak pressure fittings on the stock lines replaced with high pressure hose and have not touched mine since. That was 3 years ago after replacing those oil cooler lines several times due to leaks.

 

yeah, 2wd filters go straight to the block and all the 4wd, unless changed by the owner, have the remote. there is plenty of room in the 2wd because you dont have the front diff and all that. i just changed mine on my 2wd yesterday.
