Honestly, AB's prices on this kit are horrible. $329 and it has a 3 aftermarket hoses.

I just put all of those part numbers in my basket at this site: LAND ROVER Parts and Accessories | LandRoverMerriamParts.com®

and it came up to $319. And that's all OEM parts from a dealer.

Looks like AB has 2 options of aftermarket now as well, but they dont list the brand.

Wow. They have gotten really expensive! I replaced mine about a year and a half ago with the AB Hose kit, but it was only $189 then.

Yeah, I was thinking I paid less than $200 when I bought them too.

What's funny is that those two hoses are aftermarket at AB, so you could probably build an entire aftermarket kit for less than $200 if you guys would source after market parts there too.

EDIT: no I lied. One hose, the one that looks like a plastic hand is OE at both places.

Honestly, after last time when this thread came up I tried to make an aftermarket kit.... it was taking an amazing amount of time to source the parts and the amount of parts was crazy. I did make a "warm weather kit" and "cool weather kit" for Savannah.
