When I put a rebuilt 22RE in my '85 4Runner I wanted to replace all the hoses, but was in kind of a rush so just replaced radiator hoses for now.

Now that I have more time I want to replace the heater hoses as well as they don't have that much life left in them.

I don't think I can take generic hose and make it make tight enough bends so I'd like to find a source for a heater hose kit, pre bent, that I can just buy as one, but no luck.

I'm looking for a full kit of heater hoses (not just a 50' roll of unbent) for '85 SR5 4Runner with front and rear heat.

If anyone has an idea of how to go about getting this kit I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Hmmmm, well I think the dealer is the only spot you can get those special "bent" pieces. You might check out LCE, they may sell kits.

 

check napa under radiator hose

 

Get them from the dealer.

In fact, contact Strap22 (trdparts4u.com) and he will sell you new parts at a discount price. Aftermarket hoses never seem to have the correct bends in them, and water hoses are definitely something you do not want kinked, even if its just the heater.

 

I believe Rockauto.com has them.
