4x4 oilpan and offset filter

[frank53]

Will the 4x4 oilpan you sell fit with JTR,s offset oil filter adapter?

I've got the 4x4 pan and put the offset filter adapter on and while the oil filter will clear the front differential I've had no luck getting the oil filter to screw onto the adapter. Am going to try to find a shorter oil filter and see if that works otherwise its a remote filter kit for me. Not something I'm looking forward to installing if I can help it.

well, after numerous attempts, the offset adapter came off and the remote oil filter went on. Just wich I could find a short filter that would be identical in function to a PH8A Fram/ PF2 AC

save yourself the headache and go with a remote filter. Too many clearance issues on a 4x4. This is coming from experience.
