Factory service manuals

I have found a good deal on a 1992 FSM but I own a 1990 4runner. Would the 92 be any different than the 1990 manual seeing how they are basically the same vehicle ( I think)?

It wll probably work just fine. I use a downloadable version of a 1993 FSM on my 92.

Having a FSM slightly newer than the truck can be advantageous.
They usually add in corrections and service bulletins that apply to the earlier years.

Any Public Library in your area would have the Factory service manual,Haynes,Chiltons,Mitchells,Clymers,Bentley and Toyota repair books.

There is also free AutoZone service manuals at:

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20 (used) as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no longer need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers,websites and bulletin boards may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics probably have so much experience that they could publish their own factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and post it on a site for all of us to download or view.
