    My one grievance about pre-1998 Land Cruisers is that they didn't have front and rear A/C...

    Neat! They don't have Lexus in other continents besides North America, so I bet that guy hunted to get those logos

    Dunno, they pushed it mostly in markets with high humidity like Eastern Asia. It was never offered as an option here at all, but you can get the parts and convert yours. I have an R12 system that kicks ass still, and I have a stockpile of R12 so I leave it alone. R12 works so much better than 134, I can cool my entire cabin without issues even with just the front vents.

    Lexus exists, but I don't believe it's a brand there, rather it's a model. Cars in Japan can be a bit strange, they sometimes don't have the manufacturer's recognized logo. Check googlez for "japan harrier SUV".

    All our lexus models exist as toyotas over in Japan. Toyota is seen as functional and luxury there, america has a weird focus on luxury being separate from the commonplace so we got a separate brand

    That's very clean, other than where he removed his tailgate spoiler that is really well maintained.

    It had a PA inspection sticker, so I'm assuming it had a PA plate?
