  1. Well, OH - It's borderline in the "Overkill" category - but what the heck will we use those locks for anyway, right? HA!
  2. Well, Patriot - I totally copied your great idea for the LPG tank crossbar wing nut & Springfield XD slide-lock mod... "Tanks" a lot, brother!
  3. FYI, I had 2 polished Worthington LPG tanks on my AS for over 15 years, secured by double-nutting the aluminum wing nut. Never lost one... The cable locked wing nut inside the Oliver Doghouse gives piece of mind, for sure! Most non-Oliver folks probably don't even know what's inside the Doghouse, anyway...
  4. That's most definitely a better use for the XD cable lock than it's originally designed purpose! That's most definitely a better use for that XD cable lock!
  5. Thanks! The Tundra matches up nice with the LE II so far... The gray/black tanks were empty & fresh water tank was about 70% on our way back from collecting the rig last weekend. Fairly brutal crosswinds all the way back home about 175 miles, but it pulled fine! Minimal sway (if any) with the Anderson. It'll be interesting to measure the tongue & axle weitghts after its loaded for our next trip.
  6. No name for the LE II, yet - but Diane will come up with something cute I'm certain...
  7. Back in our Airstream days we would do an annual run to Quartzite in JAN. Our friends owned a FG "Squarestream" trailer '92-ish in absolutely mint condition. Very rare and unique rigs. They owned it new from the factory. Interesting.
  8. Thanks to all for the "hearty welcome" to the Oliver family. We look forward to meeting y'all on the road... PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION: Our hull number is #226 not my typo-ed "#225" posted earlier. Anyhow, we collected our rig on Saturday in Roswell, NM... It was just all so "Alien" to me, ha! It's a perfect rig for us - Magnus, in particular, loves it (WOOF!). Even in moderate to high crosswind conditions, it towed fantastically with the Anderson WDH behind the Tundra for the 175-mile run back home yesterday afternoon. Here's what our "new-to-us" #226 looks like:
  9. Thanks, Martin - nice looking rig, brother! Here's our new rig after just getting it over the weekend:
  10. #225 is an EII, 2017. We're pumped! So - SeaDawg, USN Sailor?
  11. Hey, Ollies': Diane and I are long-time Airstreamers, however downsized in '21 to a Casita and just now dropped the hammer on Hull #225. We've been influence by our friends here in NM for several years about getting into an Oliver. We're planning on collecting our "new to us" rig early next month. We've been lurking around the Ollie Forums for over a year and look forward to meeting y'all either on the road or on the web! Stay safe out there - Best, A, D, and Magnus (Woof!)
