Each Haynes manual is written for the do-it-yourselfer and provides step-by-step instructions based on a complete disassembly of the vehicle. This hands-on experience provides the reader with specific and detailed instructions for performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to a complete engine overhaul. The models and model years covered in this title are as follows: Toyota Land Cruiser Series FJ40, FJ43, FJ45 & FJ55 (1968-1982) This Haynes automotive repair manual includes 700+ photos and the following chapters: Introduction Chapter 1: Engine Chapter 2: Cooling system Chapter 3: Fuel, exhaust and emission control system Chapter 4: Ignition system Chapter 5: Clutch Chapter 6: Transmission, transfer gear, power take-off and winch Chapter 7: Propeller shaft Chapter 8: Rear axle and suspension Chapter 9: Front axle, front suspension and steering Chapter 10: Brakes, wheels and tires Chapter 11: Electrical system and wiring diagrams Chapter 12: Bodywork and chassis Chapter 13: Supplement
I find that this book is often the the book that I want to go to first for information about servicing Land Cruisers. The Original Toyota manuals are more thorough but they are not organized in a fashion that I like as much as this book by Haynes. This book has a very good collection of wiring schematics for vehicles produced between 1968 and 1982. Torque specifications are liberally included throughout the book and I feel that most of the critical torque settings are included. The cutaway drawing on the cover is of a 1975ish vintage FJ40 and is very well executed. This book is much more thorough than the Haynes manual for the 60-series and 80-series Land Cruisers. Forexample the 60/80-series Haynes book basically says about the gearboxes that you should take them to a mechanic for servicing. This book covers servicing all parts of the drivetrain. The unfortunate things about this book are: 1. it covers only the F and 2F petrol engines and does not cover any of the diesel engines 2. it does not cover any of the pre-1968 Land Cruiser models: some of which are very interesting and most of which are very difficult to obtain good service documentation about. This book is well worth owning and I think that it is a better Service Manual than most of the other books about Land Cruisers of this vintage.
