![]() ![]() taking straight off, thanks to those giving me my options. I am beginning at point zero and the learning curve right now is. do I have to Drill the Holes that the bolts on the front of the Oliver secure the latch assembly? Or does an Oliver company parts have the holes predrilled and hardware to mount? I would just remove the current 2 inch system, purchase the 2 5/16 inch System?įrom John's photos. The photographs are great and it appears that I can use an Anderson Bull Dog 2 5/16 system, which I did not know existed. Any advice, pro or con, will be greatly appreciated. I am an Airstream owner for 16 years and an Oliver owner for 36 hours. I include a photograph of the Equalizer Ball and Shank with numerous adjustments possible.Īmong those who experiment with or have already done this change, I value your advice. and even the Airstream needs to Weight Distribution. I realize the 2.5 inch shank is overkill. Since the Airstream and Oliver 'may' be different heights when the trailer is properly attached, I may find it easier to have a Ball and Shank to fit the Oliver and use the current Airstream unit for only the Airstream. I photographed my Equalizer shank and ball that I currently use with the Airstream. the Shank of 2.5 inches fitting the F350. all of it.Ģ- Substitute a 2.5 inch shank system to fit the F350 factory Sleeve, which fits my Airstream and purchase a System for the Oliver that will convert everything to a 2 5/16 inch Ball and attaches where the Anderson is attached to the Oliver. It is best I just do one of two options.ġ- Replace the Hitch and the Ball and the Shank that is presently STOCK ANDERSON to the Oliver II. The Ball on the Anderson is rough and I tried to force the 3382 WD Tapered Ball out and it is. a 2.5 inch Shank and 2 5/16 Ball to connect to the F350 and attach to the Oliver II. ![]() Yes, I know some welding adaptions to remove the "Shank Slop", but with the 2 inch, sleeve to 2.5 inch. Using the shim on the 2 inch to fit the F350 sleeve of 2.5 inch leaves a lot of SLOP. The Shank to the F350 is 2.5 inches and the Anderson I am replacing has a 2 inch shank. In fact, Neeson’s assassin, who has a particular set of skills, has turned out to be one of the most influential movie characters of the last few decades.I am use to the Airstream and Equalizer Hitch. His talents haven’t dwindled in the least bit, but these ‘Equalizer’ movies don’t really have him stretching his chops, he’s just mimicking whatever Keanu Reeves (John Wick) and Liam Neeson (Taken) were doing in their respective assassin films. The just-released trailer hints at a ‘Man on Fire’ reunion with Dakota Fanning also starring in this sequel.Īs for Denzel, well, he’s still a great actor. ![]() Given the sequel’s $102 Million domestic gross, on a $60 million budget, might I add, it was a no-brainer decision for this third film to be greenlit.ĭenzel’s Robert McCall, a former CIA black-ops assassin who’s now living in Boston and works as a Lyft driver, is a freelance guardian angel of sorts. They, teamed up for two ‘Equalizer’ movies and failed to hit the right notes with both, then came their misbegotten 2015 remake of "The Magnificent Seven."Īnd now, here we are, it's 2023, Fuqua and Denzel have decided to unleash "The Equalizer 3," a sequel that, I guess merited to be made in this day and age of Hollywood sequels, prequels and reboots. Whether you liked their work or not, it was unique and very much a product with its own creative voice.ĭenzel attempted to replace Scott with Antoine Fuqua, a director very much influenced by Scott's kinetic editing style, but their films have misfired.įine, Fuqua and Denzel teamed up to bring the actor Oscar glory in 2001 with "Training Day." However, since then, forget about it. Their creative teaming would unearth a slew of successful Denzel/Scott films during the aughts: with 2004's "Man on Fire," 2006's "Deja Vu," 2009''s "The Taking of Pelham 123," and, finally, 2010's "Unstoppable." Scott died in 2012 as he and Tom Cruise were scouting locations for the “Top Gun" sequel.Īll of this to say that Denzel, a guy who was banking on Scott for two decades with his action movies, no longer had that reliable director to work the “blockbuster” genre with. Denzel Washington and Tony Scott had a special working relationship that was built up and founded with 1995's "Crimson Tide." ![]()
