Finally, a 2002 Toyota EPC cd on DVD! I can see stuff for my 2001 UZJ!

You need a torrent downloader though, like BitLord or Azureus or ABC (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net)... It's about 1.56GB in size:

Many thanks to the NorCal dude in the forums of http://toyotadiesel.com! And please don't ask me yet how this EPC installs or works, as I haven't finished downloading and installing it yet.

crushers · 07-29-05, 07:56 AM

gave it a try and it seems it is missing some info for loading...
let me know if you get it to work
cheers

I'm currently using BitLord (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/1126-bitlord.html) right now, as ABC had some dependencies that I was too lazy to install. Others say http://www.bitcomet.com/ is great too.

Now, the way bit torrent works, is the more people access the file, the faster we all get to download it together. Another great file swapping tech!

I use bit torret too, it is downloading as we speak so I will tell you if it works

Eric Winkworth · 07-29-05, 06:32 PM

what is it supposed to be exactly?

Eric Winkworth · 07-29-05, 08:04 PM

Man thats awesome, it is an Electronic part catalog, ok now how do you get the price list to work?

Eric Winkworth · 07-29-05, 08:16 PM

well it half works, were do you put the TMCMSTW2 file? I know you paste the other ones into the directory that the setup makes for you.

Wow! You're fast! I'm not even 5% done downloading it!

The Toyota EPC is an electronic parts catalogue in a CD installer format. It's a great resource because it allows individuals like us to look-up parts we need and order specific *and* correct stuff from Toyota dealers who have absolutely no clue about Land Cruisers --with much less hassle, stress, and inconvenience.

REQUEST: To all who finished downloading the EPC, please come back online and re-seed the BitTorrent. There are some of us who haven't finished yet, due to slow bandwidth outside of USA. Please share!!! Thanks in advance.

StanCruiserMan · 07-30-05, 08:22 PM

Yes, there are 0 seeds. I am down to a crawl. It is slow in the US too. I only need another 250 megs but at this rate it will take me 2 more days! Please come back guys!

Eric Winkworth · 07-30-05, 08:26 PM

I will be a seed, some someone can tell me whats going on, I got the program up, no prices?

silvercrusher · 07-30-05, 08:53 PM

Took just over 1.5hrs i'll leave it up awhile too. The speed of my computer would indicate that you are sucking the life out of me. LOL
Now how do I get it to show me a picture of my truck?
Anyone know?

Cheers

Hiya Eric! I can help you with what I think I know

But I'm not done downloading nor installing the Toyota EPC yet. The old 1995 Toyota EPC cd's I had from http://www.yankeetoys.org/Docs.htm did not come with prices, so I presume this newer EPC won't have it either. But you can check prices from here (and I think reliably order as well):

StanCruiserMan · 07-30-05, 09:07 PM

Thanks!! It now says less than 4 hours. So maybe tomorrow I can figure out how it works and can help some of you.

drexx · 07-31-05, 04:49 AM

To the three kind souls who are now re-seeding the BitTorrent, THANK YOU! Once I'm done downloading and installing, I will only be most happy to answer questions about it.

expat · 07-31-05, 08:02 AM

I'm a little slow to read this thread. Just started this AM. Never really go the one from yankeetoys to work, so I'd figure I'd try this one. Tech assist when loaded greatly appreciated...

Thanks Drexx for the link...

Satamax · 07-31-05, 08:52 AM

doesn't work for me! Instaled, and i have the EPC screen. But can't make it work!

Come back and seed (e.g. let us copy) then I'll tell you how to install it once I get to download the whole thing and install it myself.

crushers · 07-31-05, 09:24 AM

okay, who wants a copy of the EPC to 2002?
i have a 5 disc set here that i bought from New Zealand...
2 days to download seems a bit excesive...
no price lists, i do beleive that is dealer password only...
cheers

Did you copy the files to the root file?
If yes then push the top button Part number translation
Then type land cruiser or use the search button
You have to press exec(f10) after you highlight(1 click) anything

i changed from euro to japanese so i could get my bj60 #'s It lists the 60 as a land cruiser van. Weird hey

It does work though so its kinda neat.

Landpimp · 07-31-05, 10:46 AM

would love one

I dont understand all this tech talk.......but I do know how to stuff a CD in my puter

oh and if anyone had a 8/80+ Cruiser parts book they would part with(for a price).........let me know

cheers

Eric Winkworth · 07-31-05, 11:01 AM

Hi Silvercrusher!

Yes i did, but as it seems i don't have enough room on C and it's not my primary drive (i have W2K server on it for dual boot) My XP pro is on E .I don't get why they insist that i should install on C?

Best regards.

Max.

Jim_Hbar · 07-31-05, 01:26 PM

Well, I'm trying to download it, and I'm at .4% after 1 1/2 hours - at this rate it should only take 15 days for the rest to come in.......I'm going to give it a few more hours to see if the rate increases, and if it doesn't, I'll have to ask for a dvd from somebody..

StanCruiserMan · 07-31-05, 01:55 PM

Unless someone else comes back on to seed (it does it automatically once you have 100% of the file) it will be very slow for all, actually most probably won't even get anything. I cannot do it all myself! It appears only 3 of you can feed off of my computer right now. I will leave it on for now but will shut down tonight.

Vegard · 07-31-05, 02:26 PM

Think I am back as a seed now, never done this before so nut sure. Will shut down after some time though, since I am not on my own computer here.

theSherpa · 07-31-05, 03:22 PM

my download I started Saturday morning finished this afternoon, and since then I've uploaded about 1GB. I'll leave it on until early tomorrow morning, then the little laptop has to go back to work . 15 Kb/s down, 9 Kb/s up, and that's on a cable modem, sheesh...

Vegard · 07-31-05, 03:45 PM

Made the epc work, but seems it is only 84 and onward. Anyone experience the same? Would like to have the BJ42's included.

wesintl · 07-31-05, 05:30 PM

I seem to like this better than the epc cd style.
