The only fuel filter is the one you already changed.

Why do you think there is a fuel delivery issue?

because it stars and idles fine, revs no problem but when i climb a hill or get on it the engine feels as if its cutting out for a split second repeatedly for about 10 seconds or until i floor it or take my foot off the gas.......i gess it can be eletrical but it feels like the fuel is being cut out....

If I am not mistaken there is also a sock style filter on the bottom of your fuel pump as well but most likely is not your culprit. It sounds to me like an electrical problem of some sort. I am not sure of the positioning of the fuel pump in the tank but maybe all the gas is running to the back of the tank and the pump is starving for gas. How much gas is in the tank when you are off-roading?

First do a general tuneup:
- replace spark plugs
- replace air filter
- check distributor cap/rotor
- check ignition timing

Check the fuel pressure. Check for a major vacuum leak.
