Here is a nifty idea from some experienced Vanagon travelers. Add extra locks to the exterior of the Vanagon. It’s extreme for sure, but they were apparently victims of a random car bomb and take security seriously. This hack comes from the folks at Drive Nacho Drive which we have featured before. These locks come from Home Depot and provide an extra layer of protection against would be thieves.
They make Vanagons for just about every conceivable situation, including hunting. This thing even has storage for a rifle. Hit The Samba to see the full pic.
You know you have to use every inch of space for storage when you own a Vanagon. This guy has a very, very long rowing boat on the top of his van.
This looks like a typical Syncro camper, but the side mounted external horn caught my eye. I love little tweaks like that. If you want to get a feel for where this owner takes his van, check out this thread on The Samba.
Coyote Shuttle in Moab, Utah uses Vanagon’s for their shuttle business. Not only do they use Vanagons, they use extended Vanagons, and they do the work themselves. They choose Vanagons to provide their customers a unique experience. Their website states:
We are constantly experimenting with really fun vehicles to add to our fleet. To date, we have used Volkswagen buses and Vanagons, stretch Vanagons, Unimogs and a 10 wheel drive army truck. Our goal is to make your ride in the shuttle something to talk about when you get home.
There is a lot to love about this 1990 VW T3 1.9 TDI. Are the wheels crazy or what? Talk about low profile tires. This is the second Vanagon I’ve spotted with orange wheels and they are just the beginning when it comes to this van. Click through for many more pics.
This is a social media find. It appears that it was listed for sale on at some point and has www.t3busjes.be painted on the bottom. She has a full rack over the front and roof with two spare tires hanging off the back. Add the driving lights and the semi mirrors and you’ve got yourself a serious ride.
