Got the LCA bolts and cams all lined up with my marks. Snugged em enough to hold but won't torque until it's got weight on it.
Keeping with reassembly I got the LBJ's bolted on and put the uprights in place so I could torque them down. Driver side went smooth but passenger side... was a problem. 3/4 were fine... 1 stripped. F*&@&@*!!! Pulled it apart and it was just a shit bolt. Threads cleaned up fine.

Tomorrow I'll be ordering 8 new Toyota bolts. Guess this is lesson 1 that I shouldn't be using Moog and should be using OEM.
Another interesting lesson... I ordered the new Toyota steering rack, which comes with ITR's. I also ordered new OTRE. The geniuses at Toyota include jam nuts with the ITR, but not with the rack, so now I'm stuck without jam nuts. I'll also be ordering those tomorrow. Oof.
And now I finish a beer before bed. Cheers.
