FJ 40 "Bible"

Is there one? (other than the FAQ section.. )

As in THE book to get to familiarize yourself with all mechanical components, maintenance, etc?

For me, it's called MUD

that and download the pdf manuals for your relevant model/engine/tranny

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Mud forums and the FSM downloads!

Yup, what they said.

There's a book written by Moses Ludel called the "Toyota Truck and Land Cruiser Owner's Bible" - If you're looking for a tangible "book" to hold in your hands, but you're not yet mechanically savvy enough to really dive into a FSM, this is a decent alternative. They are available on Amazon for less than $10.

I have one of the older "owners bibles" and while it is full of good info on Toyota history, basic mechanical maintenance and and 4 wheeling techniques, it is no substitute to the FSM or even a Haynes manual for working on Toyotas. Good read though.

it's in digital forum, and you are presently reading it. plus it's live action, ask a question, get an answer, might not be the answer you want, but you'll get one.

I'll sell you the Ludel book for a good price - send me a message if interested

That book is only slightly better than the Haynes manual IMO. There is a lot of Hilux information in there that doesn't pertain to LC's. For me that is an aggravation. I have that book and never use it. FSM is the best by far.

 

[Yota540]

thanks for all the feedback. I assume this is the Haynes manual most of you all are referencing ?

 

[DSRTRDR]

yes, but the FSM can be had for free: click this ---> For Sale: - 40, 50, 60, and 80 series FSM for a hell of a price.
