Service manual?

Where can I get a service manual for my 2003 V8 4WD Ltd 4Runner? It seems that neither Chilton, Bentley's, or Haynes publishes a manual for it. Is the only option to get a manual from Toyota? If so, anyone know how much that costs (I'm guessing an arm and a leg...).

I called the number and the 4 volume service manual, which doesn't even include the electrical manual, costs $470! There must be a less expensive alternative. I hope, anyway. I know that factory service manuals for some vehicles are available for free in various places. Any chance that's true for a gen 4 4Runner? Any other suggestions?

Thanks, I appreciate it and it helps some, as one of the manuals contained in the link is for a 2003 4Runner. Mine is a 2007. And in the format presented in the link, it's pretty hard to use. Still, it's better what I have so far. If anyone knows of another source, I'd still appreciate the info. Thanks.

Looks like Haynes now have one out (or are about to relase it).
