Would seem to me that Jason would have mentioned that if he felt it looked way off... ?Stick w/ it and see how it feels, don’t let us fools make you anxious.

Count me as one liking the look.
Finally installed the mudflaps that I cleaned up.
After taking them off about a month ago, I cleaned off all the rust ( where I could), taped up the plastic and rattlecanned them with rustoleoum to give them some more durability and life.
I then went a little crazy with some painters pens to touch up the old LANDCRUISER logo. Not sure if its sacrilegious, but I even decided to add the TOYOTA in white as well.
Used new hardware with new washer ( painted them black to match) and bought some butyl tape to help get the flaps up nice and tight on the fenders.
All in all, a nice little project. Digging how it turned out.

I actually bought my DENSO off of Amazon for $220 ( with free two day shipping). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UCEMZG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No waiting required for my FJ62
I like the white lettering. It always looks good!

After days of frustration, finally got the oil pan off. I used the bottle jack method with long 2x4 but only the passenger side broke free. I ended up pulling down on the front edge and using a heat gun to loosen up the front edge on the driver side and was able to use the SST to split it away from the block. I still ended up pushing in part of the pan with the bottle jack. I guess my 2x4 was a little soft. I was able to push most of it back out with homemade tool and wood blocks. Removed and cleaned up old gasket and cleaned and painted pan, ready for installation tomorrow.

Fresh brand new #3 and 2 cam bearings installed. Engine in situ.
#3 cam journal hole has two passenges that need to be lined up correct w/ the bearing. One at 12p for the oil feed to top end and one about 4:30 for feed to crank or from crank. 12p is perfect, 4:30 has 3/4th of hole lined up. First photo shows both visible, 4:30 in mirror and 12p straight on. I’m going with it. That chore was highly stressful.
#2 cam journal hole only has one passenge that needs to be lined up correct which feeds to crank or from crank. Seen in second photo.

Wow. Nice going.
A lot of work to do from below!
I'm thinking about the dirt and the oil-in-hair and sore shoulders. Impressive to say the least.
Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks !! Let's see how it all holds up.
Nice job! Yeah, I went through the changing of the oil gasket two months ago. My biggest challenge was that the bolts were all different sizes from PO. And also some were stripped. Hard to get them off when they are up above the axle.
Second hardest part was getting the sealant to stick. I think I used some wood to hold the gasket in place while the RTV set. Then used some string to hold all the holes in place. Along with some long bolts to hold it in place while I tightened the other bolts.

Really not that hard. Hair is shaved and cardboard mat doubled up. Actually a pretty comfy spot. Was able to clean journals from above pretty easily after I swapped the bendy straw from a WD40 bottle to the brake clean can too.
This thanks to guys in the Austin LC club.
