4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
I've always had the Official Toyota Shop Manual...they're a bit spendier, but are hands down the bast. Anyone checked with the Toyota Service department to see if they have them yet?

Has anyone found a manual for the FJC chassis, body and engine yet? I can't find one.
I Just ordered off Ebay, the supposed Factory Repair Manual on Interactive CD... just like the dealers have... I have done this for my dodge befroe this, and it was awsome, Factory Manual...
I'll let ya know when it comes in... should be a day or two...
Here is a link that I found today. I downloaded the entire FJ repair manual. Worked fine. I had to install some sharewhere to read the file type which then converted everything to a list of PDF files which can be printed or saved.
I believe you're going to find that these are the same as all of the stuff that you can download at Brock and Beccas web site. What I'm waiting on is the actual parts manual and breakdowns that the dealers use. Bandi, I'll be interested to hear what you end up with.

This is the real deal, what a great find. You can burn the iso image (no shareware required for me), which is what the download is. Most CD burner software will create the proper CD format, I used Nero Express. Just make sure you select the option to create from image. It is not a data or music kind of CD burn. The file is huge, 247MB, so needless to say you must have a high speed connection.
Once done, voila, the complete factory service manual, what the dealers would use. It is indexed with links to the various sections in pdf format to print and take to the garage if necessary. I think this is what would cost $10 on Ebay.
This is not the same as the BrockandBecca FJ Repair Manual. It is THE factory service manual. Exactly like the paper 4Runner one I paid $100 for.
Once again, this is the best find in the long time Psouthcan, THANKS!
I can't emphasize enough that if you are looking for the real factory service manual, this is it.
