Hose kit?
Guys,
I am resurrecting my 1986 4runner and it’s been sitting for quite a while. All of the coolant hoses, vacuum lines, PCV lines, heater lines, etc are all old and rotten.
Does anyone sell a whole kit with all these rubber lines so I don’t have to go to Napa and try to piece meal this all together? Given my track record with that the piece meal approach I will end up driving back and forth at least 10 times, and I would really like to avoid that.
Thanks

best bet it to bring all the coolant hoses you want to replace with you, and grab a length of each different size of vaccum hose you can snatch from under the hood (just remember how those vaccum lines were routed) up to the parts store and match em up. the coolant hoses will be the easy part; it's cutting and routing the some 30ft of small vaccum line that's tedious, but very doable if you take it one line at a time

Coolant hoses are pretty specific. Some of them curve and bend, and you can't just get the length you need and bend it to shape. It will end up pinching shut and you'll block the coolant flow.
As for the vacuum lines, those you can just get a couple of feet of that at NAPA or carquest and cut to size.

haha, when I tore my intake off of my 22re I replaced every line I touched, and I used almost 15ft of the stuff!

Yeah, you will need the correct coolant hoses that are formed to the correct shape via autoclave. For the vacuum lines you just need a whole lot of bulk hose of the same size, some patience and some time.

for coolant, I had only 3 feet of that as well. and again, i still have spare.
Maybe i'm thinking of a different set of hoses. but I know I didnt have 15ft.
