Nice stuff!

Really happy with how well my DIY 8in sub box came out, Goal was to be able to use both rear seats if needed, and have potential for a shelf / camera rack / cooler area.

The sub sits about 0.5in to 1.0 in above the trans tunnel, im hoping it doesn't turn the floor into a foot massage, but ill take the risk for this design for now.

Allows an average overweight male to fit on either side.

Both seats go back far enough for me, and I have pretty long legs.

One would assume coming from "gods country" that you will be traversing the western states via I90 or I94 until you reach missoula? Or are you planing on 94 to CR2005 to Circle MT then up MT13 to wolf point then run the high line (US 2) over to Libby/Troy. That High Line run from wolf point to Troy is a solid day trip in and of itself. I had to look up your hotel they are not the one I was thinking of.... You have a decent location for exploring that area.

Depending on your inbound routeing I have some ideas depending on time, and so on I assume you will be here in fire season July/Aug??? Its awesome right now, mid 60s over cast and natural fire retardant falling from the clouds

PM me the details if you like.....

We actually started that little afternoon trip the other day in the NE part of the Kootenai N/F where we dove off the pavement.

Where are you guys headed to, I dont know the western Kootenai like up in the Yaak, as well as I know the Flathead N/F as that where we recreate the most....

But I can offer up some highlights that are easy to get to, and not far off the beaten path or, even a more scenic alternate route to get places if you dont mind long out of cell service tracts of wilderness.

Oh nice. We're staying in the Yaak Mtn lookout outside of Troy for a couple of nights. I guess depending on the weather it will either be a great time or a miserable vacation lol. I'm also not the biggest fan of heights, but you can't beat a birds eye view.

Nice looking FJ60

Awesome scenery. Montana is one of my favorite places I've ever been and I'd move there in a heartbeat. My wife and I are actually going to the Kootenai Forest later this summer to stay a couple days. Very much looking forward to that.

Went for a little drive with the wifey truck today, about 60ish miles of back country..... Kinda nice in this thing, no tools, no spares, no worries, just good coffee, packed lunch, A/C in the seats and spring/early summer colors...... We didnt go anywhere off a couple of the main logging/Fire roads to really pace it, but covered some miles and just had nice relaxing afternoon and evening.

that would be correct, I could go 16 but the 255/85 options are sparse so 265/75 seems more achievable. They are also pretty pricey, ST Maxx, the tires I would want, being $240.

If you have a Discount tire locally, 255/85/16 ST Maxx are $200 a tire. IIRC, They don’t advertise em on the site. You have to go in store and special order em. I love my pizza cutter Maxxes!

Sleeve,

Thank you for all of that information. I will use it when I dive into the truck Friday after work.

I have a scanner W. No CEL at all.

No smoke either.

[mrsleeve]

No service engine light?????

Since this sounds like a Closed loop issue and at just off idle, I will concur with the FPR but not as the 1st choice, since you have the fuel supply for everything else, I would suspect a fuel metering calculation issue. MAF, Temp Sensors, TPS, IAT, O2,

I would 1st be looking at the Temp sensor that the ECM gets its signal from( I dont know how many the 4.7 has) since it acts up more when ambient temps are warm w/ "cold start". This also lends it self to the Incoming Air Temp sensor having a slight voltage irregularity. Since these 2 sensors supply big variable for calculating the amount fuel delivered, and are especially noticeable when starting to go bad at idle or just off idle under load.


MAF issue could still be present even after cleaning as they can cause all kinds of issues but still be drive able

O2 in my expierance can cause issues like this but not very often, as they will start to toss a code when they start to go go before they get to the point of pulling the engine lean at idle.

You might also have a little bit of a leaky fuel injector(s), that dumping extra fuel and the O2's are then pulling a couple injectors back and it runs lean and hiccups then adds fuel back in and runs ok, then hiccups again

[Wschnitz]

Its new enough you just need to stop by an Autozone and have them lend you a scanner.

Im going to guess either O2, FPR, or still an intake issue.
