After replacing my thermostat, belts, radiator, and fan clutch my FJ62 cranks but no start. I checked EFI and IGN fuses and they’re good. I can shoot carb cleaner into intake and it fires. It was starting, running and driving without issue when pulled into garage for cooling system maintenance. Could I have disconnected something on the front of the engine that would cause this?

I had this very same issue in June. 360k on the OEM pump. Drove home from 45 miles out with 2 stops and restarts. Everything was running smoothly. Tried to start up the 'Cruiser the next morning and got no start.
Shorted B+ and FP to only hear faint sounds from the tank. Disconnected the fuel line at the fender filter in the engine bay. No fuel flow even wIth B+ & FP shorted.
Took a few weeks trying to nicely disconnect the Fuel Pump Tube from the Fuel Pump Bracket. No Joy. Ended up cutting the Fuel Pump Tube and splitting the connector nut with a drimmel and using a nut splitter to get the tube nut off the hard Fuel lines.
CruiserMatt has a replacement fuel tube part. $90.
I finally got the tank re-install last weekend but forgot to connect the power cable.
I'll be working on the cable this next weekend.

Is the CEL on with the key in the 'on' position, engine not running?
If not, check your fusible link and EFI relay & Fuse.
If the CEL isn't illuminated, ECU isn't in a state of readiness and the engine won't start

Here's an easy one to check - I had the same issue with mine. On the driver's rear quarter, under the jack, there's an electrical connector for the fuel pump that corrodes and eventually doesn't make a connection. Everything you identified sounds like you are not getting power to the fuel pump, and if that connector is shot, you can clip it out and solder the ends together permanently. If anything it's worth doing that as PM.
Worth a check, takes 10 minutes and costs $0 but might be your issue.
EDIT - link to my thread where I addressed the same issue.
