Where do you keep your manuals?

Ok, so as excited as I was at getting the packet that contains all the manuals, Im really getting frustrated because I cant really find a good place to put them.

They fit in the console storage area, but take up too much space in there.

They are too large for the glove box (well they fit, but barely).

Ive started carrying mine in the holders on the back of the front seats.

Where does everyone else keep theirs?

I leave the manuals at home and load up the digital PDF manuals on my iPhone since I always carry that.

Great idea! I currently leave my manuals at home on the shelf, but I always carry my I-Phone. Please post a link to these files.

Thanks.

Mine are actually still in the glove box, including the giant NAV manual. They all fit in that Toyota thing really well. (The black book that holds all the menuals). I've got a tire gauge and my radardetector (when not in use) in there as well. Mine fit fine, granted they do use nearly all the space in there but I've never been big on putting a ton of stuff in the glovebox anyway. I use the console for most other things.

However, after reading about pdf's on the iphone, that's actually a great idea. I'll have to copy those pdfs on to it just in case.
 
Mine are in the glovebox as well. I dont carry much else in there except an IPOD and a tire pressure gauge.
I have a USB hard drive instead of an iPod, and I use the elastic strap that runs across the top to hold an envelope with all the registration and insurance paperwork.
 
Keep my manual in glovebox too. Got also box of Kleenex there, pen, some other small stuff and USB stick in USB port . and it srill have some space left.
 
Theirs plenty of places to store them, glovebox, centerconsole storage, behind seats. I usually keep mine in the gb or behind the driver seat.
 
you can go to the link in my sig, search the forum for the other link, or go to Toyota's site.

This made me laugh... because didn't you get the owners manual PDF files (not repair manuals) from Brian_TN or Skel who got the files from me back in March... and I got the files from a TIS Subscription. TIS was the only way (for me) to get the electronic files w/out a VIN.

Oh... remembering my pre-ownership days, I was like a bear on a picnic basket in Yellowstone. I think I downloaded every pic from the Toyota Pressroom - and I won't mention how much time I spent at dealerships test driving and going to dealer lots on Sundays.<grin>

And now I see 5th Gens everywhere... there at least six in my neighborhood - including one identical to mine. Though in Colorado, its probably very difficult to go anywhere without seeing several 4Runners.

:fro: And absolutely no offense to anyone...
I get it-everyone loves their 4runner... but this thread, IMO, takes the cake on actually being on-topic yet completely unnecessary.

I've actually been waiting for someone to whine, complain or make a comment about this thread being redundant, unnecessary, a waste of space, or for me to be called a re**** because I do not know how to properly conduct a search. I did not create this topic to cause controversy, and am not trying to create controversy with this post. I was really curious as to where people stored their manuals as I could not find a place that was convenient without using up all of the available space (i.e. glovebox or console).

It can be done via PM, but Id like for someone to give me a clear and logical explanation as to why this topic is unnecessary when I performed a search for something related to the topic at hand, and when I followed up that search looking for "5th gen 4runner manual+PDF+electronic version" and variations of those search terms and found nothing, and furthermore when directed to another thread in someones signature had to read through 5-6 pages of posts to find yet another reference to the pdf version of the manual that was buried on like page 2 or 3.

Who is it that deems a topic to be post-worthy anyway?

Anyway, no offense to the mods, and whoever is the "true owner", (not the wanna-be mods or owners), as a moderator on a guitar forum I know how much time and effort goes into that responsibility. Im pretty much signing off of this forum, not that it is a great loss as I have not contributed much, but I was looking forward to modding my 2011 TE and taking part in this forum as those mods progressed, but I have just seen too many posts by others be criticized, put down, or whatever you want to call it, and as a result really have no desire to take part in a forum where that kind of stuff takes place on such a frequent basis.

Later...

Use your iTunes app and then just load the books into that. Similar to loading mp3s.

Then you just use iBook to view them.
