The “Alice” Turn Signal Lens Modification

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Tech article by Todd Z. (toddz69)
They’re bulbous, ugly, protruding pieces. They look out of place, like they don’t fit, as if they were some designer’s afterthought. They’re often cracked, broken, or missing.

Isuzu Trooper Antennae

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Tech article by Jason Bauer (SACHEM)
I’ve never liked the stock antennae on our beloved Classic Broncos. They are prone to breakage from trees while wheeling and expensive to replace if you can find one.
When I had new fenders put on my Bronco I opted not to have a new antennae hole cut in the stock [...]
