    Hi! New to the forum, so I hope I'm doing this right.

    I'm looking for the factory service manual for my '09. I'm usually pretty good at finding free PDF's online, but I checked all the usual websites and didn't find it. (I did manage to get a copy of the Hayes manual, so that's a start!)

    In older threads on here I saw people talk about Toyota offering subscription access to the FSM, saying that you could pay for a short term subscription, download everything you need, and keep access to it after the subscription expires. Does anyone have recent experience with this method? It seems like every subscription service nowadays is getting more and more stingy and restrictive, so being able to pay once and keep the downloads almost sounds too good to be true.

    If anyone knows another way to find it that isn't $340 + $112 shipping on eBay, I'm all ears

    There wasnt a FSM for many vehicles after 2005. It's all online, the reason you cant find it is because its 1000 separate PDFs and no one wants to compress it into one giant file.

    I have a copy that I believe covers 2005-2009 models. The source I downloaded it from no longer exists? (ncttora) It's made up of a ton of PDF files. I'm a long way from home, but I can try to zip it up and upload it here.

    Edit: I think what I have is the same as what @Kolter45 posted.

    Bootleggers did. Still do. Charge you a lot of $$ for print copy. Search on eBay.
