Mind you when I had these manuals.. there was about 6 manuals total.. and Haynes has placed the most relevant information in one manual. Seeing how I didn't have the current edition, Haynes took the time to send me the updated version based on my request.
Got it yesterday, So Haynes didn't have to send me this but they did based on my suggestions of consolidating and updating.. which is hard enough to do.. If a vehicle has not reached it's sales quota.. Haynes would not create a manual for it.. Thus the Commander manuals Have never been in print. So to me, this is the poor mans work book and a good starter. |
685,071 YJ's were produced
965,465 TJ's were produced
~930,000 JK's produced (not counting 2014+ models)
One would think more than engough numbers to at least produce a generic manual for each
Considering vertually no parts carried from the YJ to the TJ and absolutely none carried from TJ to JK. Letalone the massive funamental differences between these models, sorry it's stupid to have a manual attempt to cover 24years of substaintially different vehicles in one thin book.
Defend Haynes all you like, but the reality is the longer they try to mash a wider range into the same text the worse it becomes.
And no it doesn't even make good toilet paper.
