The original Land Cruiser was derived from the demand for a lightweight, highly effective military off-road vehicle. The J100 chassis, introduced in 1998, brought a new body style, independent front suspension, and a 4.7L V8 powerplant. These updates added additional on-road comfort and greater power output, yet retained that rugged and dependable characteristic carried over for generations. With the J100 beginning to age, chances are your cooling system is starting to show some wear, specifically your engine radiator hoses. Over time, the stock rubber hoses will begin to degrade, harden, and become brittle. This increases the risk of coolant leaks, overheating, and breakdowns. Upgrade your factory radiator hoses with the Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for peace of mind, improved reliability, and increased pressure and temperature tolerance. Mishimoto silicone hoses are constructed from high-grade silicone with embedded heat-resistant fibers. This combination of materials provides superior temperature resistance up to 330°F. This kit includes replacement silicone radiator hoses and a complete set of high-quality stainless-steel worm-gear clamps for easy installation. Available in your choice of black, blue, or red silicone, this kit also adds some additional engine bay flavor. As with all our products, this silicone radiator hose kit includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
