Intake hose

[OGBeno]

Actually, a lot of folks here care where others get their parts. Isn't that how you were able to conduct business? I chose not to use you because I didn't want to waste your time because I don't feel I needed your expertise for what I'm doing.

Don't worry Onur, it's not gouging on you..........

It has to do with the part of the post about the cost of the intake hose and it was a segue' into a note about price for some other parts.

You're right, everyone DOES have a right to do business with whom they choose, so I posted some of MY experience.

Don't get so butthurt about it.

Those that need your help ask for it. If I needed it, I would ask as well and cover you for your knowledge. I didn't say anything even remotely about you or your service, so relax. I still respect your knowledge and ability as I know MANY here do. Not looking to get anything for free from you.

Hey I’m retired now. I have no constituency that I need to please ever again. That’s my cheesecake I eat every day.

I can now freely speak to what I find a prevalent mindset in the Land Cruiser world that preaches “help those that help you in your most important hobby... (insert your vendor of choice)... then in the same statement say they found the cheapest source possible for their doo-Dad.

That disingenuous.

I don’t see Norwalk Toyota, or Partouq, or Amayama, or nameyour Toyota trinket seller of choice showing up to events, spending time fixing people’s junk in the field or at events, taking their time to talk through an issue just because they want to, not because they are going to get a schekel from it;

Too many people waste so much time doing x,y,z to get the cheapest price but spend no time creating and maintaining relationship...

This LC tribe is nothing but the quality of the relationships created in conjunction with the belief we have in the quality of the product we engage with.

Is there a solution to the 3FE intake hose? It looks like it’s no longer made from Toyota, and can’t find on other sites.

They are available from your Toyota dealer. The 3F-E hose is actually two separate hoses. 17881 and 17882
