This week's mod/upgrade: New master cylinder install with a dual diaphragm booster off a 96 T-100. It's amazing how much the stopping power improved by only upgrading the booster.
The vacuum nipple off the booster exits at a different angle (slightly down). I found a heater hose at my local part store that had a 90 degree bend into a U. It makes for a perfect splice onto the factory hose.

Looks good! Do you have v6 calipers as well?

I see, do you have a part number for that?

I picked up the booster for $40 at my local salvage yard. No part number. I cleaned and painted it.
Napa's site provides dimensions for boosters for each vehicle. I've been told 96+ T100 dual diaphragm boosters will fit as will 1st gen 4Runners with Turbo.

Reviving this bad ass thread! You hook up the fj mirrors yet?!

Yes, the master is back!

I'm back! Here are some pics of the CV axle replacement. What a mess - I think I went through 20 pairs of latex gloves. The boots were split wide open. The shafts had tons of play and the driver side shaft even fell apart coming out.
I replaced them with new (not rebuilt) shafts from Napa.
Here's the before pic of the driver side:
Here it is out:
