I always like to have access to good information when I'm working on my vehicles, and as part of this effort I've always been on the lookout for the genuine repair/service manuals published by Toyota. I'm in Australia, so we have a different set of manuals from the US, which as I understand it cover the 80 series as it exists for basically every market except the US. The repair manuals I'm talking about look something like this:
One problem with these manuals is they often exist as a base manual, with a set of supplements, which are basically amendments that change, extend, or otherwise modify information in the previous manuals. If you're working on, for example like I am, a 1996 model, that means you can require a base manual followed by a whole chain of supplements to get accurate information on your particular car. A lot of these manuals are not currently available online, and often are very hard to find for purchase either. That's a problem, especially for things like the wiring diagrams, where you really want accurate information and it can be hard to figure out what's changed.
Over the years I've acquired a fair set of the 80 series repair manuals and wiring diagrams. As in, pretty much all of them. Here's what I currently own good condition physical copies of:
RM184E - Repair Manual for Chassis & Body, Land Cruiser, Jan 1990
RM290E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Land Cruiser, Jan 1992
RM315E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Land Cruiser, Aug 1992
RM434E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Land Cruiser, Jan 1995
RM534M - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Land Cruiser, May 1996 (German . Want the RM534E still.)
RM172E - 1PZ, 1HZ, 1HD-T Engine Repair Manual, Feb 1990
EWD090F - Electrical Wiring Diagram, Jan 1990
EWD114F - Electrical Wiring Diagram Supplement, Dec 1990
EWD169F - Electrical Wiring Diagram, Aug 1992
EWD232F - Electrical Wiring Diagram Supplement, Jan 1995
EWD272F - Electrical Wiring Diagram Supplement, Aug 1996
Since I had an LN106 Hilux before my 80, I also have a slew of manuals for that. I believe I've got physical copies of the following, although I may have a few more (need to doublecheck):
RM122E - Repair Manual for Chassis & Body, Hilux, Aug 1988
RM227E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Hilux & 4Runner, Aug 1990
RM264E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Hilux & 4Runner, Aug 1991
RM316E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Hilux & 4Runner, Aug 1992
RM370E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Hilux & 4Runner, Aug 1993
RM419E - Repair Manual Supplement for Chassis & Body, Hilux & 4Runner, Aug 1994
RM123E - 2L, 3L Engine Repair Manual, Aug 1988
RM168E - 2L & 3L Engine Repair Manual Supplement, Oct 1989
RM520E - 2L, 3L Engine Repair Manual, Apr 1996
EWD140F - Hilux/4Runner Electrical Wiring Diagram, Aug 1991
EWD194F - Hilux/4Runner Electrical Wiring Diagram Supplement, Aug 1993
And there are a few odd ones I got along the way:
36251E - L, 2L, 2L-T Engine Repair Manual, Aug 1984
RM164E - 3S-GE, 3S-GTE, 5S-FE Engine Repair Manual, Nov 1989
36268E - G40, G44, G50, G52, G53, G54 Transmission Repair Manual, Dec 1982
RM141E - G40, G45, G50, G52, G53, G54, G55, G56, G57, G68 Transmission Repair Manual, Aug 1988
So I can't do anything about it now, but in a few weeks I may have the opportunity to start putting these through the scanner. It'll take awhile, but I could potentially scan all of them. My questions are basically:
1. Is there any interest from people here in me doing this?
2. If I do scan these, can I post them/talk about them here, or will it get me in trouble with the moderators?
