Former law enforcement vehicle?

 

I was thinking along those lines but with the US Postal Service, which imported a ton of these because of their right hand drive-ability. i might do a vehicle registrant history search, which will at least give me an idea of where it's been in North America anyway. Thanks for your incite.

 

The switch is for the rear window wiper. The knob is for idle speed adjustment.

I highly doubt the antenas are OEM, they’re probably mounted to the original rack mounts.

if the USPS imported “a ton”, where are they?

 

Why would idle adjustment be a need?

 

I checked it, the rear wiper is non-functional and the fluid reservoir is empty so that makes sense.

I thought the dial was a choke but I fiddled with it when the vehicle was on and it made no apparent difference, it does free-spin though so maybe it's broken, it looks pretty well used compared to the rest of the consul switches and dials.

I have been looking at Troopers and Bighorns (94-98) for about a year and a half now and, though they aren't plentiful, there's normally at least one driveable Bighorn on the market in my province along with 3-5 Troopers. I had three Bighorns to chose from within 100km before I bought this one, which parked itself right in front of my office window, for convenience sake. The sell within a week or two, unlike Troopers, which normally take months to change hands.

I don't know what the USPS did with the bulk of theirs (crushed?), or what the time-frame was for their usage. I was mostly relying on 'Kelly's Blue Book' and 'Edmund's' for information at the time I heard about that tidbit of info, real or not.

Thanks for the incite, I'll take a look at those issues.

 

It's not a choke, it's an idle adjustment.

 

Right, I see they are not the same.

 

I've haven't seen postal vehicles with antennas on them, but I guess it could be useful in extreme rural settings.

 

When I used to live in the Dominican Republic with the fever of importing JDM vehicles, many we dream to have in the states, many of this JDM vehicles will come with similar antennas used for Small Tvs.

 

That make sense, I have only seen them on two other 94's in online photos, one had an identical set of 4 and the other had only two antennae, which I liked much more.
