Was just in Canada with -15F to -20F morning starts: turned over a little more slowly but started up each time. No issues other than the rear gate struts wimping out (also have a rear ladder which adds weight). Like others mentioned, I hear the "hurrrrr" sound when it starts cold, but it goes...
Before Alaska we took the rig out to Trona Pinnacles, a series of rock formations in the California desert. Being one of my favorite spots for astrophotography, I had to get one glamour shot of the 4Runner under the stars:

Have you already removed the rear seat bottoms? You may be able to squeeze in if you move the front passenger seat all the way forward, with the rear seat bottom removed. As a data point, I am 5' 11" and fit easily this way, without moving my front seats at all, so I think it comes down to how...
Yup, I have the 2" Toytec TRDP kit (spacers in front, coils in rear). My plan is to run with the current setup until the dampers need replacement, then consider going bigger. Right now I'm happy with the height and stock tire size.

Thanks! Currently I don't have a platform under the mattresses, just foam pads to level the floor. Right now I have just enough height to sit up straight against the back of the front seats, which has been nice for chilling out on cold evenings, so I'm not looking to raise the bed any further at...
Wind noise was my main concern going into it and I'm happy to say that it is an imperceptible increase at city speeds, less than ~50mph, and only mildly increased at highway speeds without cross wind. In cross winds it's a bit more noticeable but very acceptable (definitely quieter than a stock...
