SAFETY
Modernize Your Vanagon for Safer Driving
1991 was the last year the Vanagon was sold here in the United States. A lot has happend in the last 25 plus years in terms of safety.
Vanagons are regretfully well known for catching fire due to the age of the rubber fuel lines and new ethanol fuels that wreak havoc on older fuel lines. We can help with that potentially deadly issue as well as many others . From installing bigger brakes that help modernize your stopping power to making your headlights much brighter for safer night driving conditions. Take a look at what we can offer you below and reach out to us to make your Vanagon an all around safer vehicle to drive.
No more squishy brakes or white knuckles coming down mountain passes in Colorado. Give your Vanagon the stopping power Volkswagen should have used from the factory.
Being able to see in wet or snowy conditions is key to safe driving. Take a step in the right direction in avoiding collisions with things you can’t see because your stock wipers just ain’t cutting it.
If your Vanagon still has the original stock fuel lines or fuel tank seals, don’t delay. Bring that puppy in and let us update your Vanagon with new, safer lines and fuel tank seals.
Let’s face it. The Vanagon, wonderful and beautiful as it is, is lumbering top heavy beast. A heavier duty anti-roll bar is just the ticket to making your Vanagon more stable around curves.
Ever drive at night and wish you could actually see the road in front of you? Are your yellow, tired, stock Vanagon bulbs just not cutting it? We can help you by installing high powered LEDs.
Remember the first time you drove your Vanagon on the freeway? It probably felt more wobbly than a bobble headed doll. Bigger wheels and tires go a long way to making your Vanagon more stable and safer.

Make your Vanagon a true adventure mobile by giving it a lift, stronger suspension components, and better shocks and springs. Our suspension overhaul makes your squeaky old Vanagon adventure ready.
Stay off the grid longer with a solar set up paired with Lithium Ion batteries. That’s right, lithium deep cycle batteries can now be used to power your adventure rig on and off the grid.
Make that rough ride on dirt or washboard roads more tolerable by airing down your Vanagon’s tires. This modification has significant advantages when you like to take your Vanagon off the beaten path.
The stock Vanagon bumpers are weak sauce. Upgrading to a set of burlier bumpers and swing aways adds a measure of safety and additional recovery points.

Camper Modification
Go from Minivan to Campmobile
If your Vanagon were good for just one thing, that thing would be camping. The amount of extra space inside a Vanagon to do so many more activities would make Will Ferrell and Adam McKay jealous. We can help you make your van even more camp ready and pleasant with a few mods that will forever change the way you look at a weekend in your van down by the river.
