Overland Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I think it was John Davies who first posted this peculiarity... Cool. Also weird, but in a good way. I've always wondered what the deal was with this thing. Then this morning, in an unrelated forum search, this post from 2015 popped up... http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/i-have-a-dream/#post-12837 Whoa! Could this guy have realized his dream? The answer is yes. Yes he did... https://medium.com/overland-exploration Someone needs to get this guy back on the forum to explain himself. Come back @mjfreshyfresh - I want to know more! 1 1
Moderators mossemi Posted October 17, 2018 Moderators Posted October 17, 2018 The original picture has bicycles on the back while the second picture shows a motorcycle hanging off the back. I know John asked about carrying a small motorcycle on his OTT in the past. Now my question is “will it fit in the Hanger?” Mike and Krunch Lutz, FL 2017 LEII #193 “the dog house”
Overland Posted October 17, 2018 Author Posted October 17, 2018 Depends if your hangar has a 12' door, I'd imagine. Looking at this photo, his bike rack is attached to the Fuso rather than the Ollie, which is what you'd expect. Also, he's built a custom tire carrier to carry the larger spare. [attachment file=1*Eoj3RuQFRdSBxeuqvpNIGQ.jpeg] Interesting that you can see the Ollie bumper is still in place. My guess is that he just chopped off the tongue, removed the suspension subframe and attached the Ollie to the Fuso at the suspension mount points and somewhere up front.

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted March 8, 2022 Moderator+ Posted March 8, 2022 Thank you @sarah1971 for rescuing this trailer. Personally, I always thought it looked like a cobbled together mess. You have made it whole and beautiful once again. 5 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved dogs Storm, Lucy, Maggie and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4
