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.”

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/2026/01/30/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.

New Journal entry is up: “Aggressive Kindness.”
It’s about growing up on Ramones, Rancid, Bad Religion, NOFX, Dropkick Murphys and realizing those records weren’t just noise, they were sneaking in lessons about community, mutual aid, and how to look out for each other on and off the floor.
If you ever memorized lyric sheets like scripture, this one’s for you.
Read it here: https://adventureadjacent.com/2025/12/09/aggressive-kindness-from-mosh-pits-to-forest-roads/
Tell me which albums rewired your brain.

Hi Fediverse, I’m Mike, and this is Adventure Adjacent.
This account is for the project: stories, photos, and videos from a well-used 2007 FJ Cruiser, my dog Hugo in the back seat, and all the “almost home” adventures that happen on the way to the grocery store or the trailhead.
What you’ll see here:
• Links to new Field Notes on adventureadjacent.com: trip reports, driveway fixes, and journal entries from the edges of the map.
• Stream announcements and highlights from calm driving, hunting, and builder sims (ATS, ETS2, theHunter:COTW, city builders, etc.).
• Occasional behind-the-scenes bits about cameras, audio, editing, and trying to make all this look more intentional than it really is.The tone I’m aiming for:
• No rage bait, no culture-war chum.
• Respect for public land, workers, and the places we pass through.
• Space for people who are curious, learning, and maybe a little tired.If you want more of the “person behind the project” – random thoughts, boosts, and non-FJ life – that’s over at @mike This account will stay mostly project-focused so it doesn’t flood anyone’s timeline.
Thanks for finding your way here.
I'm Not Lost. Just Curious.

That little red battery icon benched my upload schedule.
From the cheap seats: what’s your call—battery or alternator?
Bonus points for “how far did you limp it?” stories!

@DenOfEarth @Basmitharts this new #LandCruiser seems to take some design cues from the #FJCruiser, which probably explains why I like it.
I test drove one of these in 2006. The interior and driving dynamics (around town) were very disappointing, so I never considered buying, but I still like seeing them around.
