The radiator / transmission cooler on these rust internally, mixing the fluids into a transmission destroying “pink milkshake”.
I’d recommend using this external transmission cooler and block off the old transmission cooler fittings to avoid losing your coolant if / when the radiator rusts out.

That looks to be the exact one I have, its uses 3/8 barb fittings for the feed and return hoses which is what Lexus uses so it works perfect. It comes with 3/8 hosing as well but I got some extra just in case but I don't believe you have too as what they give you should be enough. I don't have any pictures but I used the brackets that come with it and just some basic nuts/bolts/washers to kinda secure it in place along with some zip ties. I have it mounted off to the lower passenger side in front of the radiator with the fittings facing towards the passenger side. I run the hoses up through a hole between the frame and the bottom passenger side of the radiator and then wrapped some fabric around the hoses so they dont rub against the frame where they pass through that hole. I can walk you through the install if you want. It really wasn't hard. The hard lines for the feed and return are just behind the radiator so that made it SUPER easy to just run the hoses up through the hole and to the cooler. Just make sure you have the return hose fitted to the bottom fitting of the cooler so gravity helps insure you always have oil returning. You can get a bigger cooler too if you want but having a 3/8 barbed fitting on the cooler makes the install painless. My set up isnt pretty, I'm sure you could make it look good if you tried but I care how it works more than how looks.

Hundred bucks for the cooler, hose, and clamps. Really wondering where in the hell that extra tree fiddy came from.
Thanks! Is it one like this? https://www.amazon.com/70268-SuperCooler-Automatic-Transmission-Cooler/dp/B000CIGE9G/ref=sr_1_1
just get something like this and run lines to your transmission, and hose clamp (or double hose clamp it) - pretty simple.
You can get something cheaper than that though honestly. When I bought my B&M years ago I don't think I spent over $60. Hayden is another option and a bit cheaper.
