Update. Here's what I've done to get everything up and running. Sorry for the long copy-and-paste post, but I wanted this to stay preserved if "Section 6" from FastRX8's thread changes. Here's a link to the post that has the links to the requred files, etc.:

Section 6 -
Simple Instructions -
If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:
1) If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON
2) Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot
Detailed Instructions -
If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here
6A) Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them
6B) Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.
6C) If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.
6D) Once complete, power off the phone
6E) reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
6F) Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.
6G) When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 6I. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 6E-6G Until it does.
If you have not used Unrevoked forever, start here
6H) Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
6I) Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.
6J) Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.
6K) EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery
6L) Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
6M) It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
6N) Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!

After this I was unrooted but still on Foryo. I then rooted again/rerooted using unrevoked3 as described in this guide:
[GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G Outdated - xda-developers
After this I am left with rooted "stock" Android 2.2 (Froyo) and working 4G/Wimax.
I just flashed OMJ 2.2 v.4.2. 4G is still working. Pretty exciting.
Thanks everyone for the help. I haven't yet restored my backups yet. Nor have I messed with any radio updates.
