The perfect manual for my 4Runner! I am so glad they still make these manuals!
The reason my '98 Taco still runs like new.

I'd give this 5 stars, but it covers so many models that it can be tricky to decide what's going on in your specific application. Find a Toyota factory service manual to supplement where this book may be vague ([...]). Of course, both the Toyota and Haynes manuals inferred that my particular truck had serviceable front bearings when mine are really sealed. Just goes to show that the manufacturers can slip in and update their parts on any line at any time. I'm guessing a mechanic or vo-tech student wouldn't benefit much, but for the rest of us untrained-but-mechanically-minded people this manual is great for maintenance, normal wear, and minor fails. This manual allowed me to do everything with the breaking system, fix the power windows, replace a steering knuckle, power antenna, and fuel filter, change all my fluids, and spark plugs, and gave me enough reminders to keep the truck running like new for the last 170k miles. I even used some of the troubleshooting pages for my wife's Jeep (which needed a lot of troubleshooting)! Now I almost get excited when something new starts showing signs of wear.
Good to have on hand

Although a bit broad, but you know that by the title, this is a good manual to have on hand for basic maintenance issues, photos, diagrams, descriptions, etc.
Highly recommended

This is the second Haynes manual I've purchased for a Toyota, and I highly recommend it. The best feature is that the instructions are clear and easy to follow, which take most of the guesswork out of performing simple repairs and preventative maintenance on your vehicle. Another important characteristic of these manuals is that they educate you to the point where you can talk intelligently and confidently to a mechanic if necessary. Depending on the nature of the work you need, this can save you a significant amount of money, and this alone will pay for the cost of the book.
