If you have ever tried to put custom wheels on a Vanagon you know how tricky it can be. You usually have to use some kind of spacers, and finding the right ones are a challenge. There are various Porsche and Mercedes wheels that are popular, and you can find someone to help you with the spacers, but it can be a pain. Check out these custom wheel adapters from T3Technique. They allow you to use various wheels with the Vanagon. They have an instruction sheet to help you get going. They aren’t cheap, but for around $400 you can get your custom wheels going.
The title says it all. This is the longest and nicest Vanagon you’ve ever seen. This stretch Vanagon limousine is available for your wedding, prom, or night out on the town. You just need to be in Germany to get her. Click through for more photos.

This is one of my favorite Vanagons ever. I know nothing about it or its owner, but I just can’t take my eyes off of it. Is it the lowered stance? Is it the wheels? Is it the color? Is it just this particular photo? I don’t know what it is. All I know is it is one of my favs ever. I found it on the Samba.

There is nothing we like more than attention to detail. This Vanagon owner decided to put a little color into his dash and steering wheel. Even the ash tray got a coat of paint on this one. I’m not a huge fan of the orange, but the cloth horn button looks very nice. Click through to see what the exterior of this Van looks like.
Look at this yellow single cab beauty. Unlike yesterday’s dropped Vanagon that someone named “Shorty,” this single cab looks short in another way. Don’t the wheels look closer together than normal? Everything about this one is top notch. The rear bed’s side panels are short and look how nice the black is. It has a toolbox in the back, and a hidden V8 engine. Click through to see another pic of the engine.
We missed this Vanagon in our “How low can you go” post a few months back, but here is a T25 Vanagon “shorty” I found on Pinterest. It has a very nice two tone paint job, and of course you’ve got to love those VW Bus hubcaps. But for the fact that this Vanagon is dropped, it looks almost completely stock. It doesn’t even have tinted windows.
If you look closely, one of the reasons it looks so clean is it doesn’t appear to have any rear seats.
I’m not sure why, but I think this one should be called the “Junk Yard Dog.” This guy is not interested in fancy paint or pristine anything. He wants the baddest Vanagon on the planet to get the job done. I just love this Vanagon! Everything about it just screams “Junk Yard Dog.” Look at the size of those wheels. What about the front bumper? Even the paint job screams “junk yard.” Click through for a few more pics.
This is one of the most complete all terrain Vanagons we’ve seen. This one hails from the Czech Republic and was apparently built for a tour of Africa. Trying to list the mods and hacks on this one is a never ending adventure. Check out the horns mounted on the high top and the extra large size view mirrors. What about that massive front bumper with winch? It also looks like it has some kind of chimney exhaust coming out the rear. This is a Vanagon lover’s dream machine!
Wouldn’t it be fun to drive a Vanagon with wood paneling? I ran across this early 1980’s Vanagon that was apparently for rent. The picture was originally found at Valley Westys Vw Camper Rentals, but they no longer have it on their website. The wood grain paint job is interesting to say the least but this guy doesn’t stop there. Check out the incredibly small side view mirror and roof rack.
