Where can I find a good FSM?

I've got a 2000 Limited that I'm about to pull in the garage and replace the timing belt, water pump and rear main seal on.:doh:

Anyone have a good source for a service manual? I should have downloaded an FSM when I had the chance. Any site that I have seen with an ability to look back at the TTORA archive is not working.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. PM me if need be.:biggrin1:

I know this probably isn't the answer you want to hear, but I bought the real deal paper backs on eBay. Worth every $ hands down to date the best thing I have purchased for the truck.

I'm sure someone has done a DIY for all of those tasks however to help you in the moment.

I have vol.1 & 2 fsm for 2002 4runner as well as wiring diagrams and the transmission repair manual. I will take pictures of the t/b and w/p as well as the main seal tomorrow and post them on this thread. And if you need any other pictures of pages just pm me and i will send them to you asap, the books are very expensive, ive paid almost $200 for mine so far but i have well gotten my money's worth out of them. If you want to buy them yourself though i would go to ebay, thats where i got mine, but be prepared to pay at least $130 for the set. If you can only buy one then vol. 2 is the one you want. Ill try to get those pictures up asap, probly some time tomorrow afternoon.
 
I went to the Toyota Technical Information System website and downloaded the entire FSM and Wiring Diagram Manual specifically for a 2000 model year 4Runner. Then I spent hours formatting it into a useful and understandable format. Now there's so many folders and subfolders that I can't share it on Google Drive or compress it because the file paths are too long. If anyone has any ideas of how to share it, I'm more than willing to.
 
I just purchased a FSM paper book, VOLUME 2 for $50 from eBay used. It's for a 98 but same thing. THATS A STEAL! Although volume 1 is like maintenance and stuff. Volume 2 all the repair stuff. So yeah....
 
So I had a little bump that put this back on my radar.

Good luck for you guys...
Software updates or some other changes no longer limit my ability to compress the files. I've zipped all the files I have and uploaded them to my Google Drive. Here's the link.

https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...pUZk9pMG1nY3loMmhQLWdKbHdUSlVPd3c?usp=sharing

The files titled "Complete" are arranged as they were on the website. Each major system has a folder.
The files titled "Printable" are arranged as if you were reading them in a hard copy FSM.

Once you get use to the layout, it's generally easier to find things on a computer using the "Complete" layout.

I've never shared files this way before so someone please let me know if the link is working properly.

One other side note. The FSM is probably very similar between the '96-'02 4Runners, but I know for a fact that the Electrical Wiring Diagrams have differences. Again, these files are specifically for the 2000 model.

Thanks for that. As they are zipped, the only way I know to use them is download and unzip them. I have the '02, but it is very nice to have the '00, which is virtually the same as my '99, and includes stuff the '02 does not, such as 5-speed stuff and 4-cyl stuff that did not exist in '02. I have my '99 on paper, but files are great for the road.

Also, VERY cool to have the collision manual, which I have never seen. I bet that would have been useful last summer when I did my frame swap.

So thanks very much.

But we still have no substitute for the recently deceased tacomasite, which was a linkable website indexed by chapter. Actually a copy of the old NCTTORA site.

It's a shame that TechInfo/Toyota wised up and stopped allowing you to just "download as pdf" lol... I paid for the subscription and made it about 2 chapters through the GX manual before I lost interest. So basically I have the "how to use this" downloaded =p
