You got 21.5 mpg with that roof box?! I did a very long 6k mile trip and averaged 17.5 myself. Granted I had a roof box, traction boards, and a shovel up there, but even when they're off I've never seen anything higher than 18mpg with my hybrid.
Welp. I'm sure glad I didn't air down. After about 70 miles in the North Dakota Badlands I punctured the tread and got a flat. A very non-technical road that a Subaru would easily eat up. A puncture repair kit saved the day and I was on my way. ...but I'm certainly considering swapping to new...
This is immensely helpful. I'm embarking on a long trip with a lot of rough gravel and dirt roads and my question would be if it's even feasible (or safe) to consider airing down 5psi (from spec 33psi)to make for a more comfortable ride with these OEM Open Country tires.
I'm having to...

If it further helps these are the bolts I bought to mount my shovel, Roam Case, and traction boards. The square heads fit the slots perfectly.

Weird. Today after a mountain bike ride my 4Runner flashed a message saying "Trailer Detected Press OK to Confirm". Would having my hitch bike rack as "trailer" in theory override some of these braking and beeping settings?
Fantastic! Looking great. I'm 6'4'' myself and fit great. No way I'd fit if they included the sunroof though. Congrats!
I can't justify the PPF cost personally, but I think you'll be happy with your choice if it's worth it to you. The paint seems thin and scratches are already showing up with...
I too had to order the fifth cross member so I could properly mount my gear up top. I can only imagine this was for costs savings given most Trailhunters likely don't see dirt, sadly. A bit annoying, but the ordered part fit perfectly and came with the hardware.
