    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    So I finally got through to Tucker at RLHudson Manufacturing. He was very cryptic initially, but gave me as much background as he could.

    In 2007, Magnuson hired RLHudson to produce this lower radiator hose of EPDM reinforced with Kevlar. They are listed for Tacoma in the RLHudson records. They are all produced by manufacturers in China which are currently affected by the Corona virus and a government mandated Chinese New Year extension. He disclosed that they (RLHudson) do not have any in stock and are working to manage numerous customers due to the same delays.

    I think the best bet moving forward would be to ship one to HPS to reproduce in silicone. This would probably facilitate their R&D since they won't be able to get any proprietary data from RLHudson or Magnuson for that matter. I don't have an extra one and probably nobody will for quite some time.

    Or electric fans, which isn't too bad of a deal right now. I am looking into an upgraded alternator first along with upgrading ground cables before electric install.

    For those of you who feel like hearing something completely different, I have a good friend here who is starting to build a turbo kit for his X-runner. I'm looking forward to helping out with that project.

    Perhaps @nudavinci64 would like to sacrifice his hose, since he hasn't started on the project yet? In return, I will get him a new HPS hose.

    I did get my TRD hose today and yes. Exact same thing as the Magnuson one. So if anyone actually does need a Tacoma specific one I do have one in stock and I would make you a deal on it. But it would need to have the 2.5" cut off of it as well since it is the exact same one you get with the kit.

    Thats funny. Mine came in today too. Just wanted to look at it.

    Whoever ends up sending one in to HPS, make sure you trim it first!
