thanks. just looked a bit darker in those photos.
Pulling the rear 3rd to take to ECGS for ARB install.... FF axles rock. Got this done in about 10 mins:
ETA - tried a "new" trick for cone washer removal that was a treat... thread the nut on flush w/ the end of the stud and whack it from the side. Two or three fairly good taps (doesn't take much) and they each popped out.

Glad you got it all out bud, but that's a quick way to bend all your studs, or deform the hub. Brass drift/brass hammer is the best way to do it.
You'd be surprised how little lateral shock it requires. I was using fairly light taps with a standard framing hammer. I was reluctant at first but thought I'd give it a try with an amount of energy I was comfortable with, and viola, they pop right out. Helps they've only been seated for less than a year and there is no rust involved.
This is the key.
Yeah, I probably needed to clarify so as not to mislead anyone trying to unseat cone washer on the '74 that have been there since they left Japan. Good call - don't beat the hell out of the studs laterally, not a good idea!
First oil and filter change this morning for the Taco. I find it interesting that Toyota has gone to a cartridge style filter on these trucks and a water like 0w20 oil recommendation. Oil is so thin it splatters everywhere...and the cartridge filters are such a mess to change....thanks Toyota!
I love the cartridge filters but it is important to pre-drain them using the relief port in the bottom of the filter housing.

Had a vibe show up on the 45 at the time of the "new" used tires and balance tech said one tire had a wobble. Soooo we started looking at tires and wheels (with ultra sweet strangefab'd runout detector) and then while we (rice) were (was) making some adjustments to my clutch it somehow became apparent my exhaust manifold bolts were falling out and I had a u joint on the way out
I don't recall if this was before or after realizing the wheel studs were 1/16" longer than the spacers and causing tension on the FJC wheels when torqued. So after much cross referencing we determined the 45 Rear ujoint to be the same as the 80 rear and off to o'reilly's I went. Lots of hammering and grinding later We were done (for now) and in typical fashion rice pointed out we changed a min of three variables so we will never know which one fixed it but good news is one vibration is gone ....... On to the next 
Thanks dude
enjoyed it!

Or you could have sent me a text and I could have told you that all rear u-joints for all Land Cruisers since roughly the mid 1970's through 1/1998 have always been 04371-36030.

Well, it was a trip to "O'Really" so should't be too long before you hear from him.
Nice camera work with that 45 degree pinion angle, Jason. Makes it look redne .... I mean badass.

I think Rice and Jason combined have probably wrenched on over 50% of the vehicles in the club
