Don't be too hard on him..
The lock washers all came in official Toyota bags and he did post the pictures!
Those are the prettiest ASCOS I’ve ever seen, it always takes me a hot minute to remember how the lock paw inserts correctly in the hub body. It feels right when correct, and forced under tension when not.
It’s most fun on the trail, after you shatter a longfield and your spare splines are jacked up from banging around in your spares for years (that’s Marlin’s file I’m using)

Took a break from hanging ornaments with the 
and pulled the hubs back apart. Literally took 5 minutes a side to put them back together correctly. Amazing what even a hack like me can do given a clear understanding of the assembly instructions.

Gracias!I tried two different X cross section O rings today and this one fit really well, turned well (dry) and I think has enough profile to seal well.

The AISIN spring and indent ball from Cruiser Outfitters was a hit and a miss. The spring diameter is too large (3.5mm vs 3.15 for the OEM). It's also shorter by a mm (17 vs 18 OEM) but that's not enough to overcome the diameter issue. I can get the spring into the hole but it won't compress enough to allow the ball to fit properly.
The ball on the other hand is perfect. 3.15mm, same as the OEM. So I will be using the original springs and the new balls. I was missing one of the balls but thankfully have both springs.
Flagging this info for @PabloCruise
It is definitely a technique-specific process.

Haven't spent much time in the shop given all the domestic duties associated with Christmas, parties, etc. so just a couple of updates. In the FWIW category, the parts diagrams give the part number 94512-01000 for the hub stub washers. That is an incorrect part number as that washer is 10mm and the hub studs are 8mm. The correct part number is 94512-00800. I originally ordered the -01000 washers as well as new nuts. When they showed up the incorrect size I installed generic washers but they didn't work very well when torqued down to around 25 ft-lbs. They were opening and a couple even failed. I'm thinking that it has something to do with the split in the cone washers catching these lock washers and not allowing them to spin while being tightened.
So I decided I needed the correct washers and after much searching I found what turned out to be the correct number by looking at the diagrams for my '83 Troopy. I called Ourisman Toyota and they agreed that the parts diagrams were incorrect and shipped me the correct washers gratis.
The Toyota washers did not open up at all so out of curiosity I compared the two. The Toyota ones are about 0.3mm thicker than the generic JIS ones that I have. Maybe that's enough or maybe the material is stronger.
I did get most of the steering components installed including the draglink. The draglink is NLA so I removed the rubber dust covers and had it powder coated. New dust covers and set rings and it looks good as new. Those rings are a nightmare to install btw. Of course it's possible that I just didn't know the proper way to install them. Regardless they are on. The Tie Rod and Relay Rods are both new. It wasn't my intention to replace them as the old ones still had the stickers on them and I had them powder coated. Somehow though when you order new tie rod ends (4 total) the part number supersedes to ends with the rods. I haven't bothered to try to figure all that out but the end result is that I wound up with the correct 4 ends but also with 2 complete sets of rods.

Sad part is you decided to not continue your high school education. Go JACKETS!Man you guys are certainly spicing up my build thread. Given my undergrad it's great to see others use such language!
Kidding aside the hubs look fantastic. That is some serious Land Cruiser bling man. Keep it up, this is an epic build.
Pictures of washers in Toyota bags or it didn't happen!
Exactly!!!
I actually did want to see a compare of the washers Mr T sent you vs the aftermarket JIS that failed.
Exactly… Toyota nerds nationwide are screaming at their computer screens in disappointment for this missed opportunity for Toyota parts bag goodness..

Sorry to disappoint Jim. In the trash already.
Not sure if you really want to know or just piling on. On the off chance though, JIS generic (Overland Metric kit) are ~13.2mm dia and 2.4mm thick. OEM are 15.5mm dia and 2.8mm thick. I just know that the generic were failing at 25 ft-lbs and the OEM ones didn't. No photo side by side to share (in bags or otherwise) but here's the OEM installed.

Anyone see any issue with having these brake line connections zinc plated (or more accurately re-plated)? Obviously the mounting tabs are no issue; curious more about the line connections. Starting to pull together piles of yellow and clear zinc for plating. I can't think of any potential problems but it never hurts to check with others.
I can't see why that'd be a problem so long as you covered the holes to protect the threads.

What's the concern with the threads Mike? Typically not an issue when you have bolts replated. Pretty sure electroplated zinc thickness is only a few micrometers.
Cross threaded better dan no threads
