This is a very cool implementation of the Tuff Stuff Ranger Overland Rooftop tent. The guys at TexasVanagons have a detailed walkthrough of how this tent was fitted to a Vanagon and it’s worth a look. They used some Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers with spacers and the build looks fantastic. Click through for another pic, then head over to the source link to see how they did it.
This 1989 Syncro caught my eye. The rear bike storage looks to be custom. Instead of the bike racks you normally see on the rear hatch, this bike seems to be resting on a bar that comes out of a rear hitch as well as a swing arm on the back. Anyone know what this is?
This salvaged Vanagon if for sale in Honolulu although there is no date on the listing. There is a lot to love about this build even though it appears to be salvaged. The theme of this van is white! Everything is white. Even the wipers and antenna are white. But she has some extras too. Check out the front protection and the LED light bar up top. Click through to see more.
This custom hitch was created by Vanagon owner, Kevin Jakey and it looks awesome. It is strong enough to hold a motorcycle and more. If you want to create a custom hitch like this, click here to read a detailed PDF file on the process.
Vanagon owners come up with all kinds of hacks and mods to make their vans more usable. This is another hack from Chad of “Living the Van Life.” He has lived in his Vanagon for 3 years and has come up with a few useful improvements that he shares on his YouTube channel. One of the nice hacks Chad implemented is the mounted iPhone above his bed so he can watch videos at night. Click through to see how he did it.
