TIS FSM for 2010 4Runner is here...
Yes, I went through the PITA process of gathering "things" from the TIS website for the 2010 4Runner. I have 92% of the repair manual, 95% of the EWD section (all the diagrams but left a few sections out that I thought is easily gained by looking at the wiring diagrams), all service bulletins as of now, owners manual, nav manual, and some other misc stuff. My eyes hurt from hours of DLing. This took me hours---days to do.
Now the details.....The repair manual is in this new format on the TIS website. As some of ya'll may know, it is difficult to save this new format. Yes you can "print" it to a PDF file, but this is actually more difficult and you lose the functionality. I discovered that through a long a painful process that I could save a page as a .mht file in Internet Explorer. This allows me to capture the complete HTML as seen on the browser.
Now the difficult part….. I had to save EACH page of every section of every subsection of the manual. I have all of the HTML code and links for the menus. I am in no way an expert at HTML or the lingo for that matter. I must then go and edit a few thousand files and HTML code within each to fix the linking of the files to allow the ease of navigation. Each file has the name of the section and subsections as well as the title of the specific repair document they are pulled from. Currently, the links are linking to the original file names. When I was saving the pages, the default save name was the title. I'm going to hopefully find/make some kind of script that can hopefully do a lot of this for me. I need to pay for access again to finish the DL of the last few sections. If someone has access now and/or would like to help me in my effort, please PM me or post and I'll explain the process and the format of saving the sections. Also if any of you are experts at HTML code and can assist, please step in. Also if anyone as figured out another way of doing this successfully, please chime in.
I’m a soon to be owner of a 2010 4Runner Limited. I’m here to help out this forum. Glad to be a new member of this forum and hope to be of use and learn for years to come….

That would be very helpful. I wish I could help with the HTML but it's not part of my skill set.

Sounds like you are doing some great work here with the manuals. The one you posted unzipped with no problem and looks great.

I'm a web developer...so I'm familiar with HTML, scripting, etc., but I'm not too familiar with the TIS site or the online manuals though. PM me and I'll see what I can do with what you have?

You should sell copies to make your time and money back. I think there would be alot of takers.

Well I don't think I could "sell" (for legal reasons)...but maybe if people would like to contact/PM me for the cause (hint hint). I'll see. I did price the paper form of the repair and electrical manual; they are, IIRC, 6 books, and cost about $1200(give or take a $100) for the set---yes that is crazy.
Also, by accessing the TIS, one can, depending on the subscription level, get access to the Techstream software (full ECU access). The programing of keys is restricted to people with proper clearance(I'll see about that later). I'll do a writeup and explain thing better once I get the software, cable, and some info. It's actually affordable IMHO. I still need to get me my 4Runner first!! lol

Just so everyone can get a feel for how the RM will look and operate, I've attached the pic of the menu file.

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, BUT if the material is copyrighted by Toyota, and is proprietary as well, then it might be prudent to watch what info you display here for the good of the forum and yourself!
In other words, insulate yourself and the forum from any/all legal action that Toyota could take with reference to possible copyright infringement.
