There is a lot to say about this monster, but the sun visors are the most obvious. Where in the world did this guy get those? He has one visor on the top, and an clear orange visor on the bottom. And what about the exhaust pipes coming out of the side of the van? Those appear to be just for show. He has a spoiler on the back, a rotating orange (siren) light, as well as mounted fog lights, a custom body kit, and lowering springs. This guy has definitely hacked up his van and should be contributing his ideas to our blog!

I’ve always wondered about installing a rooftop air conditioner on a Vanagon. It would be so nice to have cold air while parked. Of course you would likely need a generator somewhere, but that shouldn’t be too hard. Interestingly, I haven’t seen many rooftop A/C’s on Vanagons but I ran across two today. I can’t tell for sure, but it sure looks like the Vanagon above has a rooftop A/C unit in addition to some kind of skylight. CLick through to see another example.

If the A-Team were still in action today, they could be riding in this baby. I ran across this beauty today and it reminded me of the old 1980’s hit. There is plenty of room on the inside for Murdock to jump around, and Mr. T would love driving this bad boy.
