Tonight's update
got the split case beadblasted and cleaned, figured some stuff out. I should have some pictures of the toybox split-case in the next few days
on to the pictures
If your gonna have someone build a Toyota driveline, why not ask the best
I haven't seen this done before  sight tubes to check the oil level.
And I'm pretty sure this is new(fittings are just mock up, more bling is needed before its done)

Wouldn't it be easier to drive to Fresno?  Is it some sort of oiler for the top gears? I'll shut up if it really is a secret.
