Huge thank you to everyone who answered questions and helped with supplying tech specs this weekend!
What was originally going to be just a crossover heater pipe install ended up being a starter replacement (since I was already there), lower manifold gasket (since I was already there), injector refresh (since I was already there), water temp sensor (since I broke it pulling the manifold out), battery tray/compartment de-rusting and coolant flush.
Oh, and I finished the drawers for underneath the sleeping platform I built. Was a productive Land Cruiser weekend.
Everything went more or less according to plan and by 10pm Sunday night Liberty was purring like a kitten.

Sumo underdrive was a success! Used trans install was a breeze. Test drove 6 hr round trip for a set of KISS drawers. Love the regear. If I could do it it again I'd shoot for 4.88's in the diffs, but the 4.56 equivalent in the T case is legit. 35" load range E's pulled the girl down without the gears significantly.
For KISS drawers, those look incredible!
Well, I gave up on the plastidip solution and did what I should’ve done from the beginning: OEM.
I ordered all 10 pieces from Impex for about 70,000 yen shipped. They fulfilled and shipped in a couple weeks. I went with the -D0 colour code instead of the -H0 the truck came with. D0 has a gloss to it and is a darker grey overall; it comes standard on black 100s. I can provide part numbers on request.
Did the rear brakes. Here's my thread on what I learned about brakes > Cut off the stupid rubber slide-pin sleeves and don't grease the pad ears.
Went from Austin to Houston to meet with family who were passing through. Right around the time we got there we could hear the awful sound of metal-to-metal. One of the pads ran out of juice (I don't usually put squeal shims on). Pretty gnarly by the time we got back. I used downshifting and the e-brake when braking needs were light. The wife didn't give a ***k when she was driving, so... yeah.

How are these hold on? My drivers front one is catching on the door when it is hot and I think it needs to be shifted forward slightly. I assume they might have clips and adhesive tape?
Correct, they have both clips and adhesive tape.
Same, I returned mine and bit the bullet with Maxtrax.Buddy of mine wanted to buy the old green recovery boards I wanted to get rid of so I got these black rhino recovery boards… is anyone else super disappointed these don’t nest on top of each other.. at all?

Ahh let me guess.. the sensor wire rubbed on the belt? Ask me how I know..
Switched to the Bolton Technical stubbie 45/5G cell booster antenna.
The standard big one just vibrates too much for this mount, this one hits the sweet spot.

DT Headers and motor mounts on the 2001, finally. Less ticking, sounds ALOT better, noticeable giddup improvement on the onramps. And looks cool! Thanks Vince at Stanton Automotive in Woodinville for the install for all my W. WA brethren
Updated front end lighting. Installed my LED retrofits from TEQ Customs. Light output is AWESOME!!! Also installed new OEM corner lamp housings and new fog lamp housings along with some Weather Tech lamp guards to protect all the new housings. Really freshened up the front end.
Timing belt, water pump, oil change, new coolant, some new coolant hoses/clamps, new brushes for alternator, new air filter, new tensioner, some new pulleys - can’t remember anymore 
Wrapped it all up about 3 hours before driving my wife to the hospital for a new baby boy!

I'm debating it but for the price I just dont know, lol.
For awhile i had forgotten that there was a dome light in the 3rd row/cargo area. I was wondering why it was so dark back there. Then realized my kids had turned off the light so i had forgotten that there was a light back there.
You did all that in 3hours? That’s impressive. Where do you live because I’d like to hit you up when my next timing belt change comes around lolTiming belt, water pump, oil change, new coolant, some new coolant hoses/clamps, new brushes for alternator, new air filter, new tensioner, some new pulleys - can’t remember anymore
