Dear Nomads who responded...thank you for your answers and photos...
I really admired Bob and Susan's blue one...looks so legit...and that
Gray and white one hardtop (Morgaine7) amazing!!! and Tigereta...wow
yours looks like it was in production last week and you got the pick of the
litter...and the blue on in the river with the Dakota plates...looking way good...

basically what i'm hearing from you guys is that 1. you love 'em. 2. fairly dependable
3. many mechanics improvise and 'work it' - with some parts taking some time to order...
4. patience and planning is a part of the experience...5. generally the vibe from you
guys is "buy one"...

Thanks for your opinions -

In Mexico, all things are possible. We are fortunate that in San Felipe, I have a neighbor who is a retired Lexus mechanic from So Cal. He is quite reasonable and has been able to fix everything I have thrown at him.

To tow a Sami: place tranny in 2nd gear (that's right, it keeps the tranny lubed); place T/C in neutral; start engine to make sure everything is disconnected (don't forget to turn off engine; but, leave steering wheel unlocked); disconnect front hubs; and, make sure emergency brake is off.
