Kinda wish there was a better way to search. Especially in long thread like this that cover loads of tech. I guarantee I'll need something I've seen in a build but can find it. Been there and continue to do that.
I'll still try to put single-word hashtag style keywords on my posts, however, for convenience.
^^ Yes, keep doing this! The easier it is to find things, the better. Especially since the special Google search is not the default.

If I ever start a detailed build thread, the first or second post will contain an in depth "table of contents" with key words; like Terrys87 did with his build threads (he has been pretty quiet around here lately...).
I usually bookmark pages I want to look at again and give the page a descriptive title as to why I saved the page.

Was going to show you your post, but it's not indexed yet, and I don't recall offhand how to make Google index it (think its a cache:, tag but whatever..)..

Working on my click-no-crank issue. You mentioned:
*CAVEAT:
I RECENTLY REALIZED THAT WHEN THE STARTER RELAY IS WIRED CORRECTLY ACCORDING TO SCHEMATIC, IN THE UNLIKELY* EVENT THAT THE STARTER RELAY CONTACTS CLOSE* OR SHORT* FOR SOME REASON STARTER WILL CRANK EVEN WITHOUT IGNITION SWITCH BEING TURNED ON. IF PARKED IN FIRST GEAR, TRUCK MAY MOVE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. A KILL SWITCH IN SERIES WITH THE RELAY CONTACT PIN IS HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED. JUST KEEP WIRE RUN TO MINIMUM.
Was wondering if this (see illustration) is what you meant by in series.......as well do you mean pin 4 (is this the actual relay contact pin?) to wire in series?
MORTERO CANYON ROAD OFF OF HWY S2.
We would drive further to Dos Cabezas water tower before starting the hike. There are several ways of getting to the trestle.
A FEW MINUTES INTO THE HIKE WE START BOULDER-HOPPING, which makes up probably 90% of the hike
While climbing a bigger mountain like Rainier or Shasta uses mostly the legs, boulder-hopping a smaller mountain exercises more muscle groups; 2 days later, my marathoner cousin, my tri-athlete friend and I are still pleasantly-sore - LOL!
[i]WATCH OUT FOR BROKEN LINKS BETWEEN THE GRATING.
I reinforced this one with a little length of thick wire I found. Hoping others would do same.
WE DID A LOOP ROUTE; THE RETURN TRIP IS NO EASIER (we descended into a canyon.)
MANDATORY AFTER-HIKE PHOTO... LOL!
GOTTA REHYDRATE
ROUTE FROM DOS CABEZAS WATER TANK, TO TRESTLE AND BACK VIA LOOP ROUTE
I think Gaia GPS app stopped recording (purple track) when we went inside a tunnel for lunch. I had to manually re-start recording (dark blue track).

LOL! Couldn't make the rock crawling necessary to approach the tunnel
I am not building a sleeping platform per se, but am customizing so the rear seats can be easily folded to convert to sleeping area.
This bump on the back of the headrest is unnecessary and requires that I remove the headrest for a flatter sleeping surface.
SOLUTION:
FLAT AS SOON AS FOLDED.
Still trying to figure out a system for the space between front of rear seats and back of front seats that will quickly convert between sleeping and seating area.

Not pretty but functional.. Piano hench and ply across the top of the seat back. This will extend the sleeping platform all the way across and right uo to the front seatback.. Might need to trim more off the headrest.

Great idea! Gotta check dimensions. I can always wrap the plywood with vinyl like I did my front door panels.

this thread has been a wealth of knowledge since day one....many thanks for keeping it updated RAD
major shout out to RAD.......recently had the no start click only issue in my 86 ( well its an 86 body on an 85 frame...and 3rz swap)....replaced the contacts in the (original Toyota) starter...still click. Replaced the starter....still click. Remembered RAD having issues as well, so found the wiring fix, and so far so good!
And another weird item too....I also had a screw fall into the shroud around my steering wheel causing binding, and had to fish it out. Guess these trucks all experience the same issues at one point.

I sat and chatted throughout my flight back to SD with Merrie Dawkins whose husband Doug Dawkins was running coast to coast, from North Carolina to San Diego that week. Meet Doug at baggage claim and went our separate ways. The following day they would finish the run on Mission Beach.
