Builds Resurrecting a mothballed '86 FJ60

So this week my son and I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders. Went smoothly and we had the '60 back in action quickly. After the replacement it was back to shifting mid-pedal just like before.
 
Been driving the 60 (kids named her "Daphne") as my DD again for the last couple of weeks. I've been super sensitive to the shifting after doing the clutch master & slave, and it started feeling like it was resisting shifts.

So today I dropped the skid plate and drained the tranny and t-case. The oil that came out was definitely dirty and ready for replacement. I also pulled probably 3.5 - 4qts out of the t-case and 2.5 - 3qts out of the tranny. Definitely not right.

I built a bypass, hoping to alleviate pressure differences and prevent either unit from running dry.
