Re: 1996 Eddie Bauer
I wanted to use the red S2 as a 3rd brake light when in the dust. The 4 small LED's will work 100% of the time when I push the brake pedal like a normal CHMSL. The red S2 is run via a relay, tapping power from my dust light so that it lights up when I depress the brakes, but ONLY when the dust light is on. Should help prevent getting clobbered from the rear in dust, and let people know where I am, and when i'm slowing down.
I started by identifying the factory trailer brake harness, and the brake light signal wire.
I tapped main power from my Baja Designs S1 dust light.
I used the main power from the S1 to run to a relay, and used the trailer brake signal as the brake signal wire.

Re: 1996 Eddie Bauer
Duplexer installed, since I run two antenna, but this will automatically use the better antenna for either UHF or VHF without me having to do any antenna musical chairs or tuning.
Added some copper foil tape to the shell to hopefully improve the ground plane to the rear. Could be no benefit, but we'll see.

Re: 1996 Eddie Bauer
I've always had a dream of owning an ex forest service bronco. The color is so cool, and it just adds to the utilitarian roots of all Broncos. Underland Offroad has been instrumental in supplying a lot of my parts from King, Baja Designs, sPod etc. With all the work they've put into bringing my dreams to life, we decided that the Bronco is more or less a shop truck for them at this point, and they offered to sponsor a wrap...
Here are the renderings.
We dropped the Bronco off with Elite Shield Auto Spa in Palmdale and the ordered the vinyl to make it happen! (Bronco is becoming an unintentional trailer queen being dragged around the state for work.
