Anyone have good out of the way spots to relocate the oil filter that keeps it out of harms way?
Right now I have it on the bracket that the evap canister used to reside on the DS of the radiator support... but I would like to put that back in to get the fuel tank venting correctly (PO bypassed it and I never took the time to figure out how it was hooked up until recently)
The outside of frame is obvious... but I worry about a branch coming up and whacking it in addition to flying gravel pummeling it. Inside of the frame would probably be safer but it will make a huge mess running down the frame when the oil filter is removed.
