My family always buy's Haynes. It's helped me a lot. But I would look at the Factory Service Manual.... I know I am.

Where do you buy that? online? dealer?

Edit: Nevermind, I found some on Ebay and other sites, are they really that expensive?!

I downloaded one for I think somewhere around 10 bucks? Not quite as convenient as having the actual book, but still helpful. PM me if you want more info.

I got REALLY lucky and got mine off craigs for $30 from a guy that sold his rig. Retail is crazy high on these but there is an absolute ton of info in them. You are not comparing apples, if you will, with a haynes or a chitlin. I found the online versions nearly impossible to navigate at first but now that ive used the papercopy i think i could do it electronically if i had to.

Some of the online ones are better than others. I had one for my Trans Am that was just a bunch of separate PDF docs that you had to open individually, was a real PITA. The 4runner one I have has a good organization system that opens up in a web browser and looks like this:

Each link opens the corresponding PDF, really not too bad. But I also have a Haynes manual as well.

I know the FSM was online either here, Yotatech or TTORA for a while. I ended up downloading it in PDF for free and put it on my Ipad. Can't remember exactly where I got it but search around and you should be able to find it.
