I got a cargo van
 

1997 GMC Safari with pipe racks and one of those walls behind the cab with the little door

What should I do to trick it out? I'm vaguely aware of some potential but I don't know of the limits of what I can do, you know? If I get some roadside assistance work then maybe I will mount amber lights instead of using the stick-on one, but I'm not sure about more technical things than that. For example, extra battery, heavy duty battery? I'm probably about to replace the alternator and when I do, what potential features/accessories should I have in mind when shopping for the power output? I wonder what's the best way to have a cargo ramp or something? I'm going to use it for some courier work, maybe heavy stuff sometimes.

Any suggestions are nice, anything useful or cool or funny. Upgrades, accessories, gear to keep inside, what gratuitous improvements would you put on the list?

Ejector seats.

Please forgive my flippancy, but I've just come back from the usual Wednesday morning supermarket run and there were a couple of occasions* which caused me to consider them as an optional extra when my present car finally expires.

I've already got the necessary sticker.

*Neither of which was my fault!

Personally I'm a small box truck sort of guy but a cargo van is a fine choice

I like this a little too much.

I was checking out a company that armors vehicles. In addition to armor (pistol, rifle, armor piercing) I can get an oil slick, a caltrop dispenser, tear gas, smokescreen, and electrified door handles. As well as all the stuff you would expect.

Will probably just beef up some components and such though.

I'm thinking I'll get a box truck sometime, currently fantasizing of having a well-rounded fleet.

If it's windowless, all you need is a sign on the side that says "Free Candy and Puppies". :devil:

This has been done before, of course. In Ottowa, you're good to go!

I remember that day! My first van. :D

Candy vans don't cause cavities, but can certainly make them bigger.

ew lol

That would require a "stretch" van.

I hope he put LoJack in it.

Congrats!!!!!

I hope you like it :)

How you trick it out depends on what you plan to do with it. Roadside service means air supply(preferably compressor), jacks, tools, fuel cans, etc.
Courier work you'll need clear room for anything of size, and probably a hand truck, and ramp.

googly eye headlights ofc

This van, is it air conditioned?:eyebrow:

Lasers.

And an A-Team stripe.

It's supposed to be. Not enough power is supplied to run the fans and compressor. You can see it taking power from the accessories. All symptoms considered, I may replace the alternator. They do a free check of the starting/charging system at Autozone so I'll find out.

Be smrt

This van, is it 4wd?

No but they all turn

This van, does it have the nice steering wheel, or the cheap, ugly one?

Shag carpet on the walls, floors, and headliner.

Pink monkey fur on the dash.

Or a married and moved to the suburbs Batman...

You are stuck without one of these

You'll fit in well here, Clay! :thumb:

Not necessarily.

This van, does it have the deluxe interior?
