Spectre Factory Service Manuals

[NMC_EXP]

I have an '85 FJ60. Am thinking about buying factory service manual(s) from Spectre...those things are pricey.
.
Some of the manuals they have are listed as reprints, others are not.
.
Anyone have any experience with SOR factory manuals, as in if they are reprints, are they good copies and easy to read ?
.
Looks Like there is one for the engine, a second for chassis and body and a third chassis and body supplement which has AC and wiring diagrams.

Given the price I'm thinking engine plus the chassis and body.

You can get the FSM for free on ih8mud.

I appreciate that. I am thinking about spending a pile of $ for hard copies: (1) won't trash my laptop out in the shop with greasy hands and (2) the hard copies always work no matter where you are.

I think the prices are reasonable...compared to what I see them go for on ebay and online book sellers...
I didn't get mine from SOR so I can't comment on quality/reprints

You can print the hard copies out and throw it in a 3 ring binder too. I have an original FSM for my 85 and it's so brittle that I'm afraid to touch it. I have a cheap acer laptop that's perfect for the garage.

I've got a complete set of manuals from my 84. One that isn't avail on SOR. PM me if you are interested. I've got an 80 now so I dont need them. they are in really good shape (pls take in consderation of age and function...they are NOT new).

I've purchased the 2F and the body/chassis manual from SOR, and they were good copies and easy to read. No complaints.
