I’ve tried several times to get into the available links to download the 2006 repair manual... every time it states wrong user name or password.. is there an updated location where I can find the repair manual and download it to my phone?

Thanks for your responses guys and thanks for welcoming me to the community with helpful links and advice. These forums are the best place to go for help and information. Tacomaworld was extremely helpful when I first bought my 96 Tacoma sr5 and I’m glad to know RAV4world is just as helpful.
I bought my 09 v6 rav last winter from a navy vet machinists that took reasonably good mechanical care of it. I bought her with 240k miles on her for 4700$. From my 170 mile drive home from purchasing her I noticed her mpg were slumped from where it should be, so I jacked it up when I got home and inspected the wheel bearings low and behold the passenger front was bad. Replaced bearings all the way around with moog hubs n bearings. At that time I did breaks and rotors as well. Gas mileage recovered to Toyota estimated value immediately afterwards.
As of recently I just replaced my front struts inner and outer drivers side tie rods... passenger side front sway bar linkage due to my inability to get it off the old strut. While under the vehicle I noticed I’ve got a slow leak on my front differential. Appears to be the drain plug. So that will need to be addressed shortly along with the firewall side lower banjo bolt gasket on the oil line. Which i replaced when I bought the car cause it was leaking then too.
She’s my rig runner and I travel 500 miles each way back and forth from the Bakken oil field. She’s now at 265k miles and has been the extremely reliable vehicle I’ve grown to expect from Toyota.
Personal goal with this vehicle is to own it forever as long as that may be and hit 1 million miles with it.
I bleed Toyota. It’s all I own for automobiles. Currently at 3 with my 09 v6 rav, my wife’s 10 v6 rav, my Tacoma sr5 and hopefully soon a 70’s hilux 2wd or a 60’s Toyota stout pickup. If anyone knows where a stout is at I’m looking.
