Overland Posted October 16, 2018 Share 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mossemi Posted October 17, 2018 Moderators Share 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” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overland Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share 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.

Geronimo John Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 In my dreams, I would go for this vintage Dodge tug. It may even be able to keep with John D's Super Toyota! 1 1 Tug: 2019 F-150 SuperCrew Lariat, 3.5L EcoBoost, Max Trailer Tow, FX-4, 4X4, Rear Locker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted March 8, 2022 Moderator+ Share 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. 6 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Maggie, Lucy 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
