, and an awesome valve by Fumoto which makes oil changes a breeze

I installed one for the truck. At first I was a little disappointed at the "look of cheap" when I bought it; even though lots of good reviews.

3 oil changes later and the valve still operates cleanly. This was a big upgrade for my truck since draining on the stock bolt led oil down onto the stock under shields and made a mess. For even less mess you can use a hose on it which is neat, but mine drains cleanly with just the fumoto acting as an extension. The safety clip isnt easier than doing a bolt though.

Thanks for the honest review DJ. I purchased the valve because you already have to remove the factory skid plate to loosen the bolt to drain the oil on this generation T4R. Adding a more beefy skid plate, which does incorporate access holes to drain the oil, will not have to be removed with the Fumoto valve installed. At least, that's what the internet tells me in my research.
