Looks like you have it all nailed down, but some additional tips from Phoenix;

It gets super hot here also but those first two would get your car stolen

Hey, at least the car thieves would be comfortable, right?!?

Looks like you have it all nailed down, but some additional tips from Phoenix;

1) tilt your sunroof and open the slider about an inch. This let's out some hot air which will rise to the roof interior.
B) lower your side windows about an inch to promote cross-flow with any breeze. This helps to prevent storage of superheated air inside the vehicle.
III) park under a tree, or otherwise park further out where there is some / any shade at all. Here in Phoenix, it's not about proximity to the front door, it's about shade where you parked.
Four) everybody has a Heat Shield on the front, and tinted windows everywhere else. Anybody who doesn't has out of state plates...
5) get in the habit of rolling ALL of your windows down when you first get in and start driving. This evacuated the super heated air and let's your AC work a little easier, arguably.
F) get a spray bottle and fill it with alcohol. When you first get into your LandCruiser, give the interior air a spritz or two or twenty. The heat in the air will be reduced by having to vaporize the tiny droplets of alcohol, thereby dropping the air temp almost instantly.
Seven) paint your LandCruiser white. There's a reason why the Phoenix guys claim white is the official color of 80s in this state!

As someone who grew up in and lived in Phoenix from 1985-2006...all of this. Yes.
Even after moving to Portland, I still treat the summer sun the same way I did in Phoenix...park in the shade, roll the windows down for the first few minutes, etc.

granted, it's not AS hot, but it gets really warm with the added humidity.
