I grew up near Tahoe and spent a lot of time camping in that area as a child. Can't wait to tow our Overlander down there. Tim, great to see an update on your blog.

I don't know if its original or not. Should not be hard to reproduce it though. Good luck! Tim - The tire mount was on there when I purchased the trailer. I don’t know if its original or not.

I have a 59' Overlander that I'm restoring and I'd like to do the same modification that you did here.

It doesn't hurt the machine at all! Also, I resewed my own divider curtains in our Ambassador and used all the old materials, except the rods. I actually made the curtains double-sided, so it was quite thick and didn't need the extra rusty rods in there. I did use the rod on the wall and the handle. It worked really slick.

The fact that you are actually using that trailer is an even better. I hope to see the coming. Tim, it is so good to finally see a blog post.
