Radiator decided it was done the other day as the connecting tube for the top hose completely broke off in the hose. I plan to replace it, both hoses and the thermostat soon.

Where is the best place/brand to buy this stuff? It's old and I probably won't hang on to it much longer so I don't need to spend money on performance parts but would like good quality.

Anything else I should consider doing while the I have the radiator out?

Rockauto is fine.
If you're not keeping it probably nothing.
Else the water pump is more accessible with the radiator out. Same with the belt if you haven't touched it.

I've had pretty good luck with rock auto parts, no specific brand. It's mostly cheaper aftermarket copies of varying quality of the oem stuff but the price is right.

Is the "heater tee" an issue for those Sequoias as well, as they were for the Land Cruisers? Due to this failure, and the vehicle's age, may want to replace all hoses or weak points in coolant flow lines.

Any name brand should be good, on rockauto I tend to not buy the "cheap" category but for no reason other than it makes me feel a bit less anxious.

Nothing breaks off faster than a plastic barbed fitting going into a hose.

Sometimes you can find the preferred part, brand and part number on Rockauto, and then order it on Amazon faster.
