    I wish that you could just get the actual manuals from the factory. In a book form, paper and ink and room to write notes to yourself. I know I could go to Office Depot and print from a PDF but it is not the same.

    I agree with the OP that the factory service manuals were a true jewel, especially the well put together Toyota ones (Best I've ever used). I have traditionally done almost all of my own work on my vehicles, and found the factory manuals to be the definitive source about how to work on and repair my old '90 HiLux, as well as the info I needed when I transplanted an '02 Tacoma engine into it.
    Haynes and Chilton manuals only cover basic stuff for far too wide a range of models. Fine for basic maintenance, but pretty close to worthless for deeper endeavors.
    While I find that I'm more willing to have things done, these days (crawling around on the ground is nowhere as easy as it once was, and getting back up is worse), being able to look up the procedures for recommended repairs can help prevent people blowing sunshine where it doesn't belong, or allows you to call them out on it, if they try.
