Quick follow-up for anyone doing a power steering fluid flush: don’t run the reservoir low. The pump gulps air fast, then you get foam and whining (cavitation). If it happens, stop and bleed it properly.

I added the exact fix steps here:

I knocked out a power steering fluid flush on the FJ and it was almost peaceful, right up until I realized I had nothing to cap the return port. Improvised. Spilled some. Learned a lot.

Two quarts later, the pump is quiet and the old fluid is out. Full how-to here: https://adventureadjacent.com/2026/01/31/toyota-fj-cruiser-power-steering-fluid-flush-how-to/

Fog + light rain, headlights carving a tunnel through the mist.

Ten-second stinger of the Cruiser with a Resolve keyframe slow pan across the front end.

If you’re driving in this: lights on, space out, take your time.

Back on track update: I’ve been heads down rebuilding the pipeline. Then Saturday night I got pulled over for an expired registration, which is a very efficient reminder that paperwork is part of maintenance.

Weekly blog posts are back. Streams return Jan 26. Next up: Fishing Creek (with a real title), alternator swap, and a power steering fluid flush write-up.

If your weekend plans include tinkering, learning, or finally finishing that project you’ve been circling for weeks: this Field Note is my write-up on ditching Clipchamp (constant relinking + “Ready in a moment” purgatory) and moving to DaVinci Resolve (nodes, Groups, Fairlight, multi-cam, and the slow shift from confusion to competence).
