Toyota Idiot Book (maintenance) - Upload Available

This is a great book that is no longer in publication (I have a hard copy). A guy on our local Toyota website found it. (BC4x4.com - mods feel free to delete this reference if I've violated the rules)

Its a torrent download so you need one of those torrent programs. Heres the link: http://www.mininova.org/tor/1053072.

I've downloaded it and it works.

Heres a pic of the book if anyone remembers it:

x2 on being entertaining. Got some humor in the text & illustrations. I'm on page 25. So far it's been pretty elementary. I learned that you turn the oil cap counter-clockwise to unscrew it.

Thought it was weird that in the book left=driver side, right=pass side. Is this typical?

yes, you always determine left or right by sitting in the drivers seat unless otherwise specified.

But we don't live in the UK, we live in the great US of A and the entire world revolves around us.

Thanks for sharing on the book. I just started it now and I'll leave it up for a few weeks when I'm done.

Go sit in the side of your truck with the round wheel thing and gauges, then report back on which is which. I think you'll find being in Indiana, that the book is correct.

you have to have somethign called a torrent "client". its a place where you download your torrents. mines called "abc another bittorent client" if you wanna search for that, its the most simple ive yet to find. download that and when you click on it you can download it in there.

it also works if you wanna download a show you missed, or pirated movies
