How the heck do I source discontinued hoses? (17 Viewers)

[ForeverFJ62]

Hi folks. Just acquired a one-owner 1990 FJ62 and the plan is to bring her back to her rightful place as a daily driver. An early area of concern is the nearly every cracked and hose and the sourcing of those discontinued hoses. Specifically, 90445-16038 which I believe is the PCV ventilation hose (No. 4) from the valve cover to the air cleaner?

I've done A LOT of digging on Cruiser parts sites for alternatives but nada. Anyone fashioned their own hose for this application or substituted a different but workable hose? Many thanks!

Also wanted to add I'm a noobie here (hello all) and made my intro in the tech forum 60-series section. This site is an incredible community and I'm happy to be a new part!

My business specializes in FJ62's, I like to make a personal connection with owners and help supply them with all the parts they need to keep their Cruisers on the road, with professional-level tech support.
I'm not sure off the top of my head but I believe I have a substitution for that particular hose.

Hi @cruisermatt - thanks for your response. Is it easiest for me just to email you to connect on verifying this part? I may have a few other needed hoses as well.

Yes please! Happy to help and we have almost all hoses (and general servie parts) for a 62 in stock.
