Anyone know of a local A/C shops that can replicate a hose for me? I don't want to pay over $100 for a new one from the dealer. I was going to go down to sillyfab/fishmouth fab and have them TIG the hole up, but the rest of the hose is old, so I might as well spring for something other than a band aid fix. I know Polar Air in Sacramento can do it, but I am trying to avoid going down there tomorrow morning if I can find something closer.

I can't start putting the 4runner back together until I get this hose done as it has to go in first and then get buried by everything else. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate working on foreign cars. I need to go overseas and adopt a child that has small hands and teach them how to work on this thing for me.

2 places that come to mind but are not "local" to you are Service Center Radiator in Auburn, or Rocklin Hydraulics in um Rocklin. I don't know if either of them make AC hoses but I have used Service Center Radiator countless times in the past for hard to find AC stuff.

Thanks for the recommendations. Looks like I will save a few bucks by going to the junk yard. Having some make a hose was more of a hassle with fittings and the price. Off to Rancho now to pick up the new(to me) hose.
