    Hey guys,

    So I've been looking around for a FSM for my new 2003 auto 3.4 4x4. Not quite ready to buy the bible. Seems like most of the links that have been posted here are dead now. When I went to check Ebay, I noticed this...

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/284887238635

    Has anyone purchased this before? Is it really a link to a digital copy of the OEM FSM? Seems like too good of a deal to be true...

    Thanks!

    It's likely a digital copy of the FSM that was scanned and made available online. I wouldn't pay for it, it's still hosted on the site I originally downloaded it from. If you search for "2003 Toyota Tacoma Factory Service Manual" on Google with quotes it will be on the 1st page of results.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod

    Even the pages on Tacoma world take at least 5 minutes or longer to load the ones with pictures maybe 10 minutes.

    Part of the price I pay living in the woods .
