I like your son's style...Youngest son insisted on driving 5 hours to the beach in heavy Saturday traffic in the 75 instead of his 2020 Tacoma. Not sure I would have made that same choice.

Your son has good taste. I remember when I turned 17 and had the opportunity to daily my dads 80 with ac and all the creature comforts. Told him I’d rather drive his 76’ FJ40 with no AC or PS in the TX heat. Never remotely regretted it, driving a cruiser seems to make every trip more enjoyable.Youngest son insisted on driving 5 hours to the beach in heavy Saturday traffic in the 75 instead of his 2020 Tacoma.

Well at least this one accelerates at least as fast as my 80, will drive smoothly at 75+ uphill, and has great AC and Heat. Bad news though if you hit a bump.Your son has good taste.

Many thanks to everyone's input on my H150F transmission issues. Planning on dropping trans and transfer case assembly and shipping out to Valley Hybrids. I don't have the lift installed in my shop yet so I'm working with a local shop to pull them around the end of August. So while those are out I want to replace front and rear main seals. Clutch seems fine but should I replace it as well while we're in this deep?
Rear main seal seems pretty obvious from the parts diagrams:
11381A SEAL, ENGINE REAR OIL 90311-99006
However the front seal is not quite as obvious; at least not to a neophyte such as myself. Is this the one?

Any other seals and/or PMs I should address while the transmission is out?
Flywheel looks great but I did order a Rear Main Seal and a Clutch Kit from Kurt @cruiseroutfit which included the pilot and throw-out bearing. Also bought the little shifter bushing and spring although they also looked fine. Too cheap to not replace while it's all apart.Seems like clutch and throwout bearing, along with a resurface on the flywheel, would be good to do "while you're in there".
I've been around pickups of one variety or another my entire life but I'm not sure I've ever driven anything with a rear suspension as stiff as this 75. Of course it has a 1300kg payload capacity (if I'm reading the door plate correctly).
...Bad news though if you hit a bump.

Thanks very much Dan. My FZJ75 is an 08-94 but I'm assuming any one of those 3 part numbers will work.
