4 wheel drives came with the metal hoses. But they were never all metal. I bought mine new, and have only replaced the rubber one time. I got a chunk of gas filler hose (heavy wall) Can't imagine anyone replacing them with all rubber, to save the price of a couple clamps. Could be most of them went by by from people running straight water, and they rusted out. But to answer your question. That's the way they came.
