A friend found this in an old car he bought and gave it to me. It's a handbook by US Forest Service from 1978.

Cool
Any chance you could scan the entire booklet? I know it's a lot of work but I'd love to see what's in there.

Our FJ40’s have always been THE image of off-road vehicle to the world it seems.
I would also love to read that whole book too. Awesome.

Awesome stuff, they did include, back in the day, even care for the environment!
Thanks for sharing!

Pgbbottle, do you have any idea when this booklet was issued? I don't think I saw any fj40 front directional lights newer than '74 in any of the pics. I have owned this booklet for three or four decades, so long I can't recall exactly when or where I got it. I wonder whether any of the old timers on the forum recognize and can identify any of the vehicles shown or the drivers.

Never seen this book would have to say it was mostly made with photos of California since there is plenty of off road opportunities there and Toyota USA is based there. Is there a print date on the back? The cruiser while definitely not stock (hate that mirror on the door) it would be either a 72 or 73. Stamped vent on the side of the cowl started with the 72 model. That style Toyota emblem in the grill ended with the 73 model.
I know the owners manuals are getting reprinted and sold. This would sell very well if reprinted.

I could try. I know most classic book and documents enthusiasts hate when you bend the bindings back.
