I can’t think of too many vans with better front protection than this guy. The otherwise stock looking Vanagon appears to be able to mow down a forest full of trees!

The folks over at Texas Vanagons created this bench seat lock box. It looks like a perfect fit, but it was quite a process. Head on over to Texas Vanagons to see a very detailed walk through of how they created this. It’s perfect!
Check out this console by Dubteriors. They will be for sale online soon.

This Dash Tidy adds a nice map table to your Vanagon’s dash board. They are available from campervanculture.com and they look pretty good.
These are German quality for LHD vehicles but work well for RHD vehicles too. Great for covering up butchered metal dash boards full of screw holes and converts the whole area into a useful usable space while on the road.

This is a new locking steel center console by VanagonLife for your VW Vanagon. Some retailers sell lock boxes that go under the Vanagon seats, but this lockbox is also an elegant center console. You can purchase one from VanagonLife for about $550. All indications are the build quality is tops and the implementation is elegant. This thing looks tough.
The center console is such a challenge for Vanagon owners because of the position of the shifter. It’s simply too close to the dash to get any meaningful console to fit. Here is an example of a DIY center console by some guy named Leon. Featured on Vanagonauts, this console provides lots of room for your food and drinks. This hack is especially interesting because the shifter had to be moved back about 8 inches to make it fit. Yikes! Click through for another pic.

One of the accessories the Vanagon lacks is front seat cup holders. All Westy owners have had to figure out a way to hold cups while driving. Many of us purchase small consoles that contain cup holders, but others find ways to add front cup holders to the Vanagon. We have featured our cup holder solution in the past, and here is another creative solution. The Samba user, freesurf, posted pictures of his arm rest/cup holder/bunk bed step table.
