Anyone know where I can buy a factory service manual for my 97?

I had one for my 85 4Runner, and loved it.

If there is an even better book out there, please let me know.

thanks!

The FSM is the best by far. Sometimes you can get them cheaper on fleabay.

I bought one for my 97, like new, and the electrical wiring supplement for a pretty good price on ebay a few months ago. If you need it now though, the price from Toyota wasn't that much higher.

Since this is your first thread that you posted, I would like to say Welcome to MUD

Now, for your question in obtaining the FSM, all you have to do is call cruiserdan at American Toyota (look at the vendors list for the phone number). He can get you one. Or you can look at the For Sale section of this Forum.

Dan has actually recommended that you go direct to Toyota per post #2.
