Some people really know how to make a Vanagon rock! Check out this Vanagon double cab truck, complete with trailer. I know nothing about it other than it is to die for. I ran across this one on the Vanagon Junkies Facebook page of all places.

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.

Many Vanagon’s door panels tend to warp over time. No matter how meticulously you care for your Vanagon, the door panels tend to bend and warp. Some Vanagon shops sell after market door panels, but they tend to be plastic and they don’t match very well. This Vanagon owner took matters into his own hands and created his own door panel out of wood. Not bad!

The Magnum P.I. Vanagon was one always of my favorites. I would see that Island Hoppers Vanagon running all over the island.

Check it out here.

Vanagon owners are very familiar with making the most out of the limited space in a van. We can find all sort of nooks and crannies to store our junk.

It’s a replacement door for your back cabinet that includes shelves for spices. What a perfect way to make more room for your knick knacks. Click through to see a real life example in action.

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.

Some Vanagon owners take things to a different level. In this case, it is obvious the owner took his Syncro very seriously. Not only did he completely trick out his van, he created a matching trailer with a tent on top. This Syncro showed up for sale on Campervan Culture, the perfect place for this one.
