I wanna see more pictures!!!

I am a member on a few Jeep Wrangler forums and I love seeing build threads like this. It's always really cool to see someone restore an old, abused Jeep or truck that nobody thought could look good.

Once you finish cleaning it you need to put a little lift and some 35's on it, take the top off and make a safari top, and hit the trails! And do this whole process over again.

Brock, this thread has been a blast to follow. The Bronco has come a long way. It almost looks like a different truck. Your doing a excellant job. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the finished results.

Re: Things you find in a field for $1500 Alex

Yeah! Got all the goodies I ordered to finish the Bronco. Many, many more pads, some 3" pads and backing plate, some M39, PlastX, ScratchX, some M80, some Marine M49 and just to make it more fun to wash a Foamaster.

Now I just need the weather to cooperate and couple of free days. Update and pics coming soon.

Yeah, I have to agree. Getting it dirty is at least as fun as making it shine.

With all the talk about how slick NXT 2.0 is, I may have to give it a try. There are a few real nice clay mud holes on the way to the river. The splash has gone over the roof of my C1500 a few times. If clay will rinse off the NXT, it's a winner! It takes longer to get the clay off the C1500 than it did to get the moss off the Bronco.

Hey, If I get the surface good and wet then rub the clay all over the truck, would that count as a 'clay bar'????


I'm sure it's the finest river bank clay this soggy state has to offer.
I'll convince my cousin to try it on his 'Yota first and let oyu know how it works............................

Are you kidding me!? That's the best part after you clean it, to go and see how dirty you can get it!!!

Couldn't have said it better.

I know what you're saying. When I saw it last year, I thought 'Man, that would make a great fishing, hunting, mud bogging, mountain climbing, cruising on sunny afternoon kinda truck'. Now, seeing what's under the moss and lichen. I'm thinking more along the lines of it being a nice 'sunny afternoon kinda truck'. Sans the hunting, fishing, mud bogging and mountain climbing.

I'll predict right now, that once you are done resurrecting that Bronco, it won't see much off-roading.

Re: Things you find in a field for $1500 Alex

lol, that's funny! Congrats!

Re: Things you find in a field for $1500 Alex

OH, the pressure!!! First someone gave me a rep point (yeah, I'm cool ).



Now this string has been rated with 5-stars.

I never would have thought driving a moss and lichen covered Bronco out of field and hosing it off would have lead to such accolades. Thank you everyone. I am both humbled and honored to be accepted in to the clan of Obsessive Compulsive Detailers.....


Hello, my name is Brock and I am a Detailaholic.

May the Gloss be with you.

wow.... that is impressive, very nice. Are you sure your talking about the same truck throughout the post? Anyway, sure looks great!! Keep us up to date.

Driving home today, I saw an Avalanche up close for the first time. I know they've been around for awhile, but I live in the sticks. The trucks I see are either covered in mud or doing 80mph down the freeway. Hard to really see a truck in those conditions. Anyway, very nice, I may have to dump the C1500 and get one. How much room under that deck cover?? Think I could stuff a table saw, chop saw, compressor, couple of tool boxes, saws, drills, nail guns, air hoses, cords and couple bricks of nails in there???
Saw your thread on cleaning yours, looks great.

Re: Things you find in a field for $1500 Alex

I just read through all 7 pages. Nice work!!! Great to see you bringing that Bronco back.

Thanks, I'm stalled at the moment due to weather and local product availability. I need some #39 in a bad way, have to order some because no one locally has any in stock.

Should be great when it's done.
