Dan I like that one. I dig the camo ones for some reason.
(Not camo, but cool!)

Took my van for a long drive to stretch her legs and see some views while I continue to recover from knee surgery, it was great. I decided to take this picture for this thread when I stopped at a park I where I can crutch hop to a picnic table by the river. Roll and tip interlux paint and vinyl tape stripe.

Obviously not a Vanagon, but I think the graphics would be super cool on one.

That's not a Vanagon? But it's van and it says 4wd!

I have a hard time wrapping my head around a 4wd vehicle branding itself "wrangler" and not being a jeep. Otherwise, that van is awesome, agreed.

Very nice, Mike. I plan to do the same technique with some kind of stripe. I'm pondering how to terminate the forward end. Somehow the blunt, abrupt ending seems it needs something, but what"

Since that style Dodge van (with the rectangular headlights) came out in 1979, the Centerline Champ 500 wheels (the wheels on the Dodge van) came out in 1980 and the Jeep Wrangler didn't come out until late 1986 (as a 1987 model), it stands to reason that the Dodge van was built between 1980 and 1986 and the Wrangler name was free to be applied at will.
Yes, I'm a nerd.

I know it's factory and out-of-theme for this thread, but putting this here just in case people haven't seen it's awesomeness. Pic from borninabus' gallery.

It does. Slightly off topic but that van has been for sale forever. It was on BaT a few months ago.
I love that Russian van. Such a great departure from normal.
