Hi Boof,
The Lcool site is fantastic for everything 200 series. I installed a WaterWatch which is not a filter as such but a water detector. It is placed before the Toyota filter and detects the presence of water in the fuel. Supposedly the OEM filter detects the water too late to prevent fuel pump and injector problems. The WaterWatch has an audible and visible alarm installed on the dash.
With respect to the OEM filter practise changing it before you get out in the bush. The Lcool site has a link to the Toyota 200 Series workshop manual. All details for filter changes etc., can be found there.

I do a lot of ks and found that when on the road quite often the fuel was filthy, serviceing at Toyota they would not change filter despite being asked. To alleviate any problems I installed a primary to remove water and larger particles as I use Toyota fuel additive now the main filter may last a little longer. If I was not doing the traveling with a van I would not bother. Hope this helps a little.
