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?

googly eye headlights ofc

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.

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.
