Question shop manual - where to buy

Where can you buy a shop manual for a 2006 GX470. I have the wiring manual but need one for the mechanicals. Is there any place other than the dealer? Or, can you even still get them? Thanks, Al

I should have the number to get the shop manual at home. I'll be back in town this weekend and let you know. Where did you get the wiring manual? Dealer? I think this is the same place the dealer gets it so I don't know if there is a discount or anything. I was quoted around 225 I think back in 07'

I agree with mann777 - techinfo.toyota.com is a great resource. I think they charge $10 per day to access the files and you can download as much as you need.


Below is a copy from the post of bulldog (admin) on toyota120.com:

"Here is the 2006 4RUnner Manual for both V6 and V8 thx to jbs11 (Broc). They seem to have added a lot more info. Anyhow it is 200MB.

http://www.ezdries.net/Vidpics/4Runn...pairManual.zip

It is zipped so extract and preserve the directory structure. All files are in pdf, but you will notice some have a pdf.1 or other number behind. Just setup adobe Reader to read the .1, etc files as well.

You will find some files/subdirectories are in weird places. Just keep looking till you find what you are looking for."


I know that the manual is for the 4Runner, but a lot of it applies to the GX as well.

techinfo.toyota.com is a pain in the ***. For example, the owner's manual is split up into 50 different documents.

Or am I missing something?

Yes, it is split in many files. Not very convenient. You can always buy a hard copy.
