    Jackery portable battery bank or inverter?

    Not that it matters but Im not using a jackery branded solar panel. Went with a 3rd party from amazon and all works good. Your solution is good but a totally different setup vs a small portbale / solar rechargeable unit. I even take this on my motorcycle camping trips.

    Jackery portable battery bank or inverter?

    I have the Jackery 300 w/solar panels and love it. It does fully charge with the panels. Charges and runs all my electronics.

    My plan for replacing the power steering pump and steering gear box

    I would install the PS hoses to the steering gear first. Then connect at the top after you have everything installed. Just make note of the angle of the hoses on your old steering gear so you can replace the new ones in roughly the same spot.

    What is this circuit board?

    Pretty sure I’ve narrowed it down to an old alarm system one of the PO’s must have had/removed.

    What is this circuit board?

    Now that I look at it closer, the back of the board says motion sensor. Maybe part of an old alarm system?

    Replacing steering box; pitman arm removal?

    I used a pumnp to get the fluid out of the power steering res. You could also just disconnect the lines and drain. I replaced the hoses while I was at it. Not sure I follow you on getting fluid into the new box. I just connected the new hoses, filled up the power steering reservoir and...

    I just replaced my steering gear and the upper/lower steering shaft about a month ago. Was well worth it. I have a 98 with almost 200k on it.
