Looks good to me, I have put new clutches on flywheels that looked not even half as nice as your's.
Just run with it.

I installed the flywheel and clutch
The flywheel and clutch went on with no issues once I found all the bolts. I've been trying to be meticulous about bagging and labeling the small parts, but apparently a few things went unlabeled. I also got the release bearing and control arm installed with it's rubber boot. Tomorrow I hope to install the tranny with clutch housing to the engine. I'm hoping installing it this way will be easier than trying to man-handle the tranny with transfer case attached as a unit. I know removing it that way was too much for my tranny jack.

Release bearing with release lever installed
I put the clutch housing on the tranny and installed the release bearing and lever, which went on very easily. Of course having it on a table makes it so much easier than doing it under the truck. Now I'm planning on just putting it on the tranny jack and slipping it in to the engine. Sounds so easy.

Attached transmission to the engine
After some wiggling and shoving, the tranny went in. Ony missing one bolt, so not too bad. I have to clean up the starter and then it can go on.

Got the bearing kit
Also got a gasket set for the transmission. I just need to have a machine shop remove and replace the bearings for me.

Bearings and races installed
My machine shop guy came thru and I hope to get the transfer case back together in the next couple of days. Meanwhile I finally got some things taken care of on my driver (FJ 62), namely the stupid-loud exhaust. (excuse me, this ain't a 40 series issue) My exhaust guy got rid of the single
2-in-2 out Flow Master and installed 2 individual stainless steel Magnaflow muflers. It's a 5.3 Chevy Vortec conversion and now it sounds way better.
The spare tire position is lost. OH Well.

Transfer case gets painted
I thought about trying to polish the case, but that would have been a chore. So, silver engine paint went on. It was sanblasted already and I hit it with some brake clean before spraying it. Next step will be to reassemble it. Now where'd I put those bolts?

Transfer case install
After several hours I got it to this point. First i attached the backer plate only to realize that I had to install the front output shaft bearing and C clip. I used a large socket and larger hammer. The real hassle was the output shaft pilot bearing; that took at least an hour to remove. I had to carefully hammer it out using a screwdriver. Another case of not having the right tool making the job almost impossible.

More gears
I'm not sure the input seal is tight enough. I have 4 different seals from 2 different kits and the first one was extremely tight to the point that I couldn't install it. The second one went in and seems too lose. I used a sealant on the outer edge but I'm thinking the tighter one will be a better seal if I can get it in.

Yea, use the tighter one.

Is the sealant really needed if the seal is extremely tight? Anyone out there install them without the sealant?

GSWest,
There should be no need for sealant. Is this an aftermarket seal? If so, false economy...

Transfer case back together
I got the seals from 2 sources due to a mix-up, but I don't think either were from Toyota (probably a mistake). One set was impossible to install and one was too lose. But the one I went with is really tight and there should be no leak even without any sealer. The truth is I have 4 or 5 seals that all seemed to be the same diameter, both inside and outer, so it was hard to tell which was for that spot. I still have a few more seals related to the transfer case to install, and we'll see if I have the correct ones left. Either way, thanks for the input, I'll be sure to post any negative repercussions.

Few more items installed
Installed the output shaft bearing retainer, shift lever and seal with it's boot also did the transmission top cover.
I did notice the manual shows a oil slinger next to the idler gear. I didn't find one when i took it apart and am hoping it isn't a really important component. If anyone knows about this particular part, let me know. Now I have to tighten down the output shaft nut to spec and that will be an adventure since there are specific preload requirements.

"Honey, it is very unsafe to drive around without a spare. I need to get a tire rack to make sure the family does not get stranded out in Okeechobee." Done. New tire rack

Thanks Jetranger, I'm a long ways off, but enjoying the journey. As far as a spare tire rack for the 60 series, yes that is a good and prudent necessity. I'm looking for plans that l can make. For now I throw the spare in the back if I'm going anywhere distant.

What's this bracket
I know this bracket belongs on or near the transfer case, but so far I'm not remembering where. I probably have a picture of it, but I'm not seeing it in the manual. I got a few more items installed and I cleaned up the emergency brake housing and painted it.
