What's "Toyota TIS"? oh ya Toyota Technical Information System; a pay per use Toyota site for info; what's the manual worth there? $1400? what's a 2 day pass worth $15? ya agree don't like that someone has maybe scooped the info but just didn't work for me; I looked at the cost benefit and feel...

ok pulled the trigger; after more discussion with the vendor; they delivered what they promised. Its a full Toyota pdf mechanics repair manual approx. 4500 pages along with all the other info you'll ever need to fix a 2010-17 4funner. In discussion I also suggested the good peps here would...

oh beat me to it! Was double checking before I pulled the trigger. Let me/ us know if its a full mechanic's shop manual and how long it takes to download.

I've been hunting for a full shop mechanics repair manual for a 2013 4runner since buying in 2017; as with all 7 mechanical vehicles I own; I have full repair manuals, some old paperbacks, others in pdf's, if needed I have a guide to fully dismantle and repair everything. Newer than, 4th gen...

I bought a 5th gen sr5 with a flowmaster already installed; sounds "diesel-ish"; louder in the cabin; maybe a tad more HP? When in for service, Toyota tec said it was loud in the cabin but "sounded cool!" ... Id describe it as a pleasant deeper throatier exhaust note; I like starting it; those...
