Thanks for the pics, I do believe Im going to copy your setup. Its by far the simplest setup I have seen, now only problem is how to winch car in trailer without hitting intercooler.

I tried the push bar out last night and it worked like a champ. I backed the car up out of the garage and for about 900' going around turns and stuff, was alittle tricky to get used to. Going Forward is a piece of cake. No binding. I can't believe I have not done this earlier, makes towing soo much easier

That would be freaking hillarious. I can see the news reports now. Local idiot falls out of golf cart going 200mph. jk Dave. Phil should put a cage, window net and 5 point harnesses in the golf cart and charge per pass for a 200mph ride. I would pay $10 for a ride.

yup seen that before. They can twist some but when they twist more than two splines it's going to break.

Defective shaft? My old shaft had way more abuse on it and showed zero twisting.
