    The spindle hits the strut rod at before you get to full lock on the box

    I finally took it for a slow drive around the neighborhood and to the grocery store. With my 13" steering wheel, I can drive it one handed through the parking lot, and in and out of the garage, forward and backwards. But I wouldn't want to do it all day (this is with the entire steering system set at stock manual configuration). Actual driving on the roads is not a problem, as expected...just the maneuvering in parking areas, but it isn't too bad, even with the big tires.

    Should be decent when I get a decent steering wheel, after I mount the seats lower, after I put in my Honda seat brackets, after I put in carpet, after I replace all the tie rod ends and get it alligned...SNOWBALL :yikes:
