Leaping Deer · 10-02-06, 09:08 AM

I just bought a Haynes and its doesn't really have a whole lot of info on rebuilding the X-Case so I would say FSM

fj40forlife · 10-02-06, 11:54 AM

"Manuals are obtained directly from the Toyota Material Distribution Center in Torrance, CA at 1-800-622-2033." from Cdan

I called last week and ordered mine... dont go off ebay they are more than what you pay from Toyota direct.. there are total off three books.. engine, chasie and I think drive train... I only orded 2 for now... but I wish I would have just orded them all and saved shipping..

Benson · 10-02-06, 01:05 PM

I like Gregory's combined with the FSM. Haynes isn't so great.

FF LC FREAK · 10-02-06, 02:16 PM

FSM is the best, but I like having a Haynes or a Gregory to add to it. That way, you have slightly different pics and/or descriptions of how to do things. Sometimes, that makes it more clear on what needs to be accomplished.

Good luck!

Nice has anyone else got this one. I mostly only need drivetran. How much did it all cost ?

CruisinGA · 10-02-06, 06:33 PM

Chilton manuals are useful, also have information on non-US cruisers.

FSM is first choice...

You can go to SOR - http://www.sor.com/sor/cat221.tam?xa...x=cat221%2Etam - to figure out which ones you want/need. They have a list of FSMs (however, this is not a complete list of FSMs). You could also try www.birfield.com for a FSM download. They have a few years, but it isn't complete, either.

The engine FSM only covers the engine, nothing else. The chassis FSM covers drivetrain, tranny, transfer case, electrical, etc.

I would say minimum you should get the engine FSM and chassis FSM for your model/year. They really are helpful. The problem with Haynes/Gregory is that they cover all years with one book. IMO, the Haynes is only a good supplement to the FSM, and not the other way around.

Good luck!

crushr · 10-06-06, 09:12 AM

Several FSM's are available form the download section of birfield.com. A couple older model manuals also available here:
