Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-4RUN34-96HHBK is a black silicone heater hose kit engineered specifically for the third-generation Toyota 4Runner 3.4L, replacing the aging factory rubber lines that have been in service for over two decades. Built from 4-ply silicone with heat-resistant embedded fibers, this kit gives 4Runner owners a durable, direct-fit solution for a cooling system component that’s easy to overlook until it fails on the trail or during a commute.
As the stock rubber heater hoses on these trucks age, cracking and leaking become common issues that can compromise cooling system reliability. This Mishimoto Fabrication hose kit addresses that wear point with a specific-fit design constructed to handle both heat and pressure, offering a straightforward upgrade path for anyone restoring or maintaining a 4Runner. The kit is offered in black, blue, or red, so owners can also add a bit of color to the engine bay while improving the reliability of a high-mileage cooling system. Every Mishimoto hose kit is backed by the brand’s signature Lifetime Warranty, giving added confidence to an otherwise routine maintenance upgrade.
Vehicle Applications
This heater hose kit is a specific fit for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner Limited and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner SR5, as well as the 2001 Toyota 4Runner Base, all equipped with the 3.4L V6 engine. It is designed for vehicles without the factory rear heater system; 4Runners equipped with a factory rear heater require Mishimoto’s separate kit designed for that configuration.
