Never heard of them. The area code in the ad is 309, which corresponds to Bloomington, IL. Bloomington is mentioned in the title - it must be a cross-posted ad.

sorry - you are right. Same question, just erase Phx and think Bloomington instead!

I spoke to him last year about a Bronco he was building that I was interested in. He seemed like a decent guy but just sort of stopped communicating with me.

I did some research on his Facebook Page, everything looks pretty current, and he has about 200 followers on his page. A few reviews and lots of Broncos.

Would this be a "safe" bet to purchase a bronco that is a driver that could get some love?

Hey, guys/gals! A recent customer told me about this thread and forum. I thought I would check it out. I wanted to leave a little info about me and the business and offer my contact info if you ever have any questions.

I have had the early Bronco bug since 1988 when my much older cousin bought a 75 and dismantled it in the back of his garage. My younger brother and I would beg the parents to let us go to cousin Rick's house so we could oogle over the truck. As a 14 year old, my imagination went wild over it. I was a drawer, so I would draw monster truck Broncos and hot rod Broncos and post them all over my room.

Love at first site.

Many years passed and my brother and I channeled our energy into a band that we called MAXLIDER. We had a ton of fun and came close to getting signed after some national competitions back in 2004-2005. Ironically, the band fell apart just as we thought we "made it." I guess The Lord's Plan wasn't for me to tour the U.S. in a bus!

When the band broke up, I started a technology company called Mavidea with a few friends. We build websites, do internet marketing and manage IT infrastructure for small businesses. We have been super blessed over the last 8 years and it has grown to the point where I don't have to work 70-80 hours a week on it anymore.

That's when the Bronco thing got fired back up. My brother (a Senior Master Ford Technician) planted the seed that we should get back into Broncos. I'm still in awe about what has transpired over the last 3 years. I recently bought a 12K sq foot building for Mavidea to occupy and it left 7,500 sq feet available for the Bronco business. After some prayer and encouragement from my clients, we moved in.

Now, we are doing more and more Bronco sales and restorations each month! I'm like a 14 year old boy again and having the time of my life. I'm not in it to get rich, just to build great relationships with people. I/we will work really hard to serve our customers and help them get the best Bronco they can afford. We want to do it right...by doing the right thing.

One disclaimer...this business has grown quickly and the volume of Bronco fanatics is at an all-time high. I am having a hard time keeping up, but working nights and weekends to accommodate you. We are interviewing to add staff who have the same values. My wife and 3 children are looking forward to me getting some help. ;)

If you are seeking a Bronco or want to build one, we would love a chance to earn your trust.

Also, I get a chance to speak/write on the topic of company culture and organizational health a lot. If you are a business owner, feel free to check it out on the Mavidea site. You can also view the Meet the Team page for some corny videos which pretty much sum up the culture at the company! We have tons of fun...

I been following them for about a year. They have some really nice Bronco's and I noticed they will bring in a new truck and put it up for sale, and give the purchaser several options on how they want it built and how much restoration they would like done. I think that's a pretty cool concept.
Met them at SC this year and they were a very nice bunch of people.
Only issue I have with them, is they like to tease you with Bronco's for sale and no price! :^)
You really should follow them if you do the FB thing.

I met them at Super Celebration. Very nice and helpful guys. They probably don't have alot of reviews, because as they stated, they haven't been doing this for a long time. They have sold some vehicles on ebay though, so maybe check some of their reviews there

I've walked through their shop, and they seemed to have a lot of projects in process. Had a friendly salesperson show me around. He wasn't super knowledgeable on the year-to-year differences, but they seemed to do decent work. I live about 1/2 hour away and drive past weekly, so if anyone wants another pair of eyes or camera, just let me know.
