Actually it would make it---and it drives pretty good on the road even; It's just that whole getting the camper dpwn there thingy...I don't think it'll fit in the back of the Sami...:redneck:

:cheer: Just got back from pickin' 'er up!!! Oooooh yeah, it's ON!!!!

Going thru the old parts, there wasn't really any one thing noteworthy of carnage pics....the direct clutch basket ear holes were worn, and the direct clutch snap ring had popped off, which is what likely caused the rapid change in how it felt when I noticed something was up with it....she's GTG now!!! :awesomework:
