    Let's talk names shall we. Been thinking of names for the Van. So far at the top of my list is "Vangry" followed by "Van of Doom" as a play on words from the Black Sabbath song Hand of Doom. Thoughts

    Vangry works! If it's you're choice, then that's what you should name it...Let your inner self come out and play!

    I know it's probably already been done but I was thinking "Vanimal" with maybe a couple of vinyl decals for the sides with the muppet Animal on them...  Naming your Van Animal10 Wink

    Right now I like Vangry better.  Weird Beard came from the fact that I do have a beard and I am a Fu Manchu fan, which they have a song called Weird Beard.

    I like vangry, but the van should habe a mean look to it. When I bought my E-100 and parked it next to my D2500 it looked small. The first thing that came to mind was "gnat". I pealed letters off of dodge trucks at the junk yard, and now have GNAT on my tailgate.

    My Girlfriend and her sister are always naming their classic cars and they've asked me what my Van's name is going to be. They use people names though. I'm still thinking of a name for mine, I guess it'll come when it comes.

    I like your ideas of Vangry Or Vanimal as trick names. How about Vanchu?

    That stinks...Vanimal isn't too old a post either (2011) so it probably still exist.

    I think I found a name for my van...not as cool as some of the ones I've seen on here, but I'll think about it for a bit.
