Greetings from Canada!
I have asked for some advice on this board awhile back and found it very helpful, so here I am again! I was wondering if I could get some
feedback on the
Gregory "HJ Landcruiser series service manual 1980-90". Is it a helpful and accurate service manual? Does it have part numbers? A good motor section for the 12HT? I have just bought a 1988 HJ61 - but it has no manual, not even the factory owners manual...bummer! FYI I imported it from Japan, as this model of Cruiser was never sold in Canada...UNTIL NOW!! HAHA! (there are a few popping up, regardless of the RHD, still legal in Canada) So being a DIY backyard wrencher I would like to get some more info.
There really doesnt seem to be any other options for me... A factory Toyota book seems impossible to order (at least in Canada). Both the owners manual and service manual I have been told are a definate no. Would anyone know where I could get a copy of a owners manual (one that came with the vehicle origainally). If it came down to photocopying...I would gladly pay for someone's troubles and shipping. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I read this board quite a lot and enjoy it. You can learn a lot from the discussions eh?
cheers all,
johnny

I am an old Toyota man from way back.
I would not waste your money on a
Gregory service manual, it is not worth a bent nickel.
You can order at very reasonable prices, service manuals from a US Toyota dealer, they are very reasonably priced. However they are usually bound up in sections. I used to order
mine through the USA dealer, and they were a quarter of the price than in Australia.
I also think that Toyota in the USA, may have a web site to order through. Of course it will depend on whether Toyota ever sold the engine in the USA.
Another good source is vossmotors@books4cars.com
He also has a site that shows his latest listings, but I would suggest a email to him would get you a more accurate answer. THE IMPORTANT THING, is that he is an honest business man, who gives good service.
