Best source of FJ55 hoses?

[120mm]

Well, the lower radiator hose started to let go today; kind of figured it would happen sooner than later.

What's the consensus on the best source for FJ55 specific hoses. The idea is to replace everything from the nose to the rear heater in one shot, and service the radiator at the same time.

Today I gambled and stopped into the local NAPA store, and they were able to order in hoses special order from Gates for around $100 for a set, shipped here by Wed/Thursday. Will update as to what they look like/how they fit.

you can check out @beno or Specter Offroad if you have trouble finding specific parts.

SOR no longer has complete sets of FJ55 hoses, and I don't understand the FJ40 compatibility nuances... yet

I can't believe I forgot about beno. He hooked me up with my 80 stuff.

Anyway, I should be completely hosed on Wed/Thurs, and if not, I'll call beno.

The 55 specific hoses are DC via Toyota.

The ones that went on the Parts O Pig came from SLO Cruisers

The lower hose was not right but it worked

I'm in line for this too, had my plugged rad re-cored already so hoses are next, also going to adapt a 60 heater valve as the 55 was totally corroded.

Let's see what you get from Napa...
