Looking for a repair manual

[abunaitoo]

I'm picking up a 1997 Toyota 4Runned on tuesday.
I'm looking for a Toyota factory repair manual.
Anyone have one they don't need????

I don't have any but you should search for Haynes manuals they have them at about any car/truck/suv you can imagine. Good luck

It depends on what kind of work you are going to do on your truck as to whether you want a Haynes manual or an original shop manual. A Toyota shop manual is rather expensive but if you plan on doing anything complex I would recommend investing in one. On the other hand you can often find specific instructions for specific repairs on the internet. I highly recommend watching youtube videos before any work that you have not done before. Makes a HUGE difference. I have a Honda and use a Honda factory repair manual because it has EVERYTHING about the car. All the torque specs, sizes, specific tools, capacities etc. You may be able to download one and print as you need. Some guys on eBay have that option I believe. Otherwise a new factory shop manual can cost the better part of a hundred dollar bill.

OOPS, Just looked on eBay. A USED manual is over $150. A new one is over $300. Again, I would try youtube videos. Better than a manual anyway.

I had an older Nissan , bought a factory manual and a Haynes manual. The Haynes was an EXACT copy of the factory manual. Also don't over look a DVD manual from eBay. Today I use the DVD manuals and print just the pages needed for what I an doing to my car or truck.

I got my 95 Fleetwood factory manuals off ebay.

I had to go look in the garage. But mine goes up to 1995.

if it turns out you need this years by chance, let me know.

Thank for the link.
I downloaded the manual from this site.
It was for a 1996, not a 1997.
It seems in 1997 they changed the ignition and EFI system, so the 1996 is no good.

I'd like a factory manual.
I get one for any vehicle I own, or will be working on for friends.
I have a 1990 4Runner factory manual, if anyone is interested. Engine rod knock. Not worth fixing.

It is a Toyota. It is not likely you will do more than service it, change tires, change bulbs, do the brakes, change the timing belt every ten years, and wash it. I have had five Toyotas over the past 45 years. every one of them gave zero problem.

I purchased a 1990 4 Runner with 350,000 miles on it that my son ran up to over 600,000 miles. He could not kill it. In 2008 the gas tank finally rusted out on it, it needed a brake job and it got parked
