I did a search on fuel filter and got all kinds of stuff that didn't have anything to do with a inline fuel filter and I don't have enough patience to look and look and look, so here is the question, can an inline fuel filter be installed? and what is that filter looking thing on the drivers side of the motor at the very top, you can't miss it.

I found out from a pdf file i have that the hose that the filter looking thing is attached inline to, is a fuel vapor feed hose so I guess we can call it a fuel vapor thingy. I couldn't find anything that said what it is.

Sure you can install an inline fuel filter but it won't do you much good. The fuel is already filtered coming out of the tank. If you plan to remove the in tank filter than an inline filter would be needed.
The black canister on the driver's side of the engine that some say looks like a fuel filter is connected to the PWM-vacuum switching valve on the intake manifold. No fuel flows thru it.

Reason: Correction
That plastic thing in the picture is not a fuel filter. It is a muffler for the EVAP system that removes the trapped fuel vapor from the charcoal canister over the rear axle.
The fuel filter on the USDM FJs is inside of the fuel tank.
