What the disappointing thing is that the 4.0L Tacoma's come from the factory with the Japanese manufactured 90915-20004's which means they are still available and being made. We just can't get them anymore. Same with the big 15600-41010 filters.

Oops. I should've specified "JDM" in my title.

Good pic of the filter material of the made in Japan version.
Edit: Added second link.

See a Doctor and get rid of it.
Maybe we should send Mot over with a shipping container. I am sure that between Onur, Sam and Dan you guys can twist the arms of Japanese management.
Ok, so we should start a buying 4.0 Tacomas, pulling the filters, then reselling the trucks for every oil change. Boom. Problem solved.
For us diesel guys you can get the 90915-30002's (JDM) in the states still but Yan can only get the Thai filter from the rest of the world (and it's more expensive).... Go figure
I live about an hour from where they build the 4.0 engine along with some other engines. Maybe they had a stash of them
4.0L for the Taco is the only one remaining that runs them. All of the other engines have gone to the canister style filter element.
They make the 4.0L at Bodine?

Bring a few boxes of the Thai filters and do one of these. They'll never know the difference... or a giant boulder will crush you.
Walk around in a red shirt and a name tag and you might get through. I'd have to figure out where the filters get put on. It's a huge loud building. The most view I got was peaking through the door looking into the production floor

Just following up after receiving my shipment. A guy shouldn't be so excited about something as simple as an oil filter. Anyway, they came today and they're the real deal.

Cut one open to see if its the right filter material. 
Those look just like the stash in my garage....

^^ Might be worthy of screen saver material ^^
Sold my 93 LC and just picked up a LX470. Still have a case on hand. Any chance these will work on the 4.7 ?
Factory installed filter for the 4.7.
What about 90915-TD004 for the 3FE, are they any good?
Those are not available in the North American market.
I know where I can get some so would they be worth the $12 they cost per filter?
