Most of the comments on this thread are from users using the transit bag on older ARB/Engel fridges. I am "guessing" the new ARB fridge is better insulated and thus might not benefit as much from a TB as the older fridges.
Mike, as seen here, it would be nice if these simple elastic bands came with the Maggiolina for easy closure.

Just a couple points when mounting the RTT to open over the tailgate:
-the liftgate on my LX470 couldn't open up all the way without the rear wiper hitting the bottom of the tent, so the liftgate would need to be tied down.
-the width of the tent when mounted in that orientation might be too...
Vic, also worth mentioning, the suspension can be completely swapped out for traditional components. One can go Old Man Emu and a differential drop kit for $1k plus labor.
Congrats! A few things you can do to reduce the possibility of breaking at some point:
-Have the dealership disable the auto-retract steering wheel feature. PM me if you need instructions.
-Leave the side mirror toggle in the middle position so it doesn't tilt down the mirrors every time you...

Memory seats
Softer Leather

I have the Coleman Max as well and would not recommend it for grilling. It heats very unevenly. I have not found the perfect gas grill yet but my Solaire Anywhere Grill comes, by far, the closest, albeit expensive. I'm sold on the infrared burner.
This is the AUS/Middle East OEM airbox and the associated plumbing. Also you would need to relocate the PS fluid reservoir. The part numbers are also in there somewhere. Your engine cover would need to be removed or modded.
As for parts source, try Cruiserdan at American Toyota. He can get...
Factory rack is easy to remove. Pop off the plastic end caps with your bare hand and unscrew the torx bolts.
Just a couple comments on your build plans... it is difficult to find a location for a full sized 2nd battery under the hood but if you remove the AHC and its pump, Slee sells a battery...
If you live and travel where there is a lot of snow and ice (which I think you might), I'd go with the 2000. I would also add the cost of an ARB front locker to the purchase price no matter which year.
