I would say frighteningly effective at what they did. Plus I like Fanta and Volkswagens...
I like M1 Garands. Especially that clang sound when the clip ejects out the top.

Oh, and pictures:

New windshield! I didn't realize just how pitted the original was until it was replaced. Colorado roads for you.

Steer Smarts sector shaft brace works great. A subtle but noticeable improvement to Wanderer's wandering. All solid now. :like:

The Out of Bounds Trailer turned out awesome. It's 1,140 lbs was hardly noticeable and it tracks awesome down the highway.

I'll be working on my trailer maneuvering skills this weekend in a wide open parking lot. I'll also find a trail to see how it handles off road. :handsinair:
Lookin good, bro! I must be lucky cuz I've never had any steering issues other than wind.

trailer looks good behind the jl. as for the steer smart. its pretty much a straight bolt on? do you have to go and get the computer re flash.
:CWL:

Nope! The brace is a straight bolt on. And if I can install it, anyone can. :whew::like:

Its been one of my favorite rifles to shoot. Eventually I'll own one for myself. Dad currently owns a Canadian built Lee Enfield that saw service in the war. Feels like you're getting punched in the shoulder the first time you shoot it, but its easily manageable once you know what you're doing with it.

I would be proud to own one as well.

My steering has always been fine, but each little thing did make things tighter. I noticed a bit with the new tie rod. The new steering box made things a lot more responsive (highly recommended). And finally the sector shaft brace. It was as I said, subtle but noticeable especially on the highway.

I really think a side by side test drive is in order. I may only be "thinking" I noticed a difference... but it would be cool to get other opinions on a side by side comparison.

At the very least, I've added strength to vulnerable parts that were not designed for bigger and heavier tires.
