  1. Battery hold downs: should they look like that?

    Jan 11: power steering flush.
    Jan 20: gas stop, hood pop, quick scan.

    My battery was tipped off its tray and leaning into the radiator. No warning lights. No drama. Just a snapped ground wire and a lesson delivered in public, under fluorescent lights.

    New habit: the battery wiggle check. Two seconds while the pump runs. If it moves, the hold-downs are not doing their job.

  2. 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: adventureadjacent.com/2026/01/

  3. Rolling from Nellore to Vijayawada on gorgeous NH-16 with Shehzadi, our world-touring Toyota Tundra! Red Andhra soil, coastal lakes, a giant Hanuman, and the mighty Krishna River on the Varadhi Bridge—what a drive. Tomorrow we push toward Vizag!
