Just wanted to say thank you for the mud madness that has infected me. 
'87 stock FJ60; my birfield was leaking diff fluid onto my tire.
Seeing as how I've never seen an axle or an axle seal or even drained a differential, I figure it was high time I rip into the sucker and let the truck be the teacher. I knew what a birfield was only because of the most excellent posts here on mud.
Needless to say, thank you. It took a while but it is complete and correct. By studying mud, I even managed to get all the parts before I even knew what I was getting into.
Kind regards.
-Hoplite.
p.s. sorry but no pics as I lack a digital camera...but it does look spectacular
