Default Fuel Filter Location

So I am prepping for some work when I get home in a couple days and was wondering where my fuel filter is. I have a 1996 Country. I am using this write up, https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/re...96-lower-5314/ , but am having a hard time understanding exactly where it is.

Will I see it if I remove my front driver's side tire maybe?

Thanks!!!

I can't say for sure on your model but mine has a sock on the pump and the only way to get to it is to drop the tank

Does that apply to the 2000 model as well?? I was thinking of replacing my fuel filter but couldnt locate it. I do see a black box looking thing with fule lines going in to it in the area above the rear axle in the drivers side. Is that where the filter is located??
