1998 JDM Land Cruiser

[Flow Master]

Looking to pick one up soon. Is there anything to look out for before buying on these that would be different then the U.S. spec version? The one I'm looking at has the active vacation package which means no 3rd row. The one thing I really like about it is this one I'm trying to get has no sun roof (which I like). has the 4700 2uf motor.
Thanks,

I would think the biggest differences would relate to the JDM models being right hand drive. Some interior and engine bay components are almost certainly different to accommodate the driving position change, and the headlights are likely a different part number as they skew slightly off-center ahead the opposite direction of LHD models (at least this has been the case on most JDM cars I've been familiar with). Whether or not you can simply adjust them far enough to not shine directly into oncoming traffic in a left hand drive scenario is not a question I can answer.

Mechanically, very similar. Electronics and interior, can be very different. Body can be different too depending on trim. The body parts will interchange but the part numbers are different due to small differences. Any JDM owner should get familiar with the parts catalog.
