So what does everyone do when it comes to replacing cracked vacuum hoses?

I went to the Stealership for OEM replacements but they apparently don't stock those and just "cut to size" the hose they need from a giant loom.

Anyone have suggestions? The main issue I have is one of the vacuum lines from the P/S pump into the intake tube (pre 2001 5VZ) that seems to be two different sizes at both ends.

I got genuine Toyota metric hose from American Toyota in NM that is bulk hose in 1 meter lengths. I tried the Napa stuff, but it didn't fit right to me.

For vacuum hoses I got silicone hoses from hosetechniques.com. They're silicone hoses, so they will last a lot longer than the rubber hoses, and they don't break or tear as easily. And they come in 12 different colors, I think. I got my universal 4-cylinder kit for about $75 shipped, which isn't too bad.

Sorry, I can't find my pictures. Right now my engine is covered with mud, so it won't help to have pictures right now.

Yeah, the NAPA hoses didn't fit tight enough for me either. My dealership won't sell me the hose unless I'm getting it serviced. So lame. And toyotapartsales doesn't seem to carry any...
