New Field Note is live: I got accepted as an onX Offroad Trail Guide, and I have 30 days to map + submit a trail to stay in.

I wrote about the good parts, the parts worth squinting at, and the personal rules I’m using so “more access” doesn’t turn into “more damage.”

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.
