Why pay it forward?
Today I received and replaced the Bronco Nation Grille Badge that was on my TigerMoth with one that @Deano Bronc repaired and painted for me..
The badge that Dean repaired and painted for me was gifted to me by our dear friend Steve, aka @Sven, who sadly passed away last month..
A few years ago, @Sven had gifted me this badge and I had it displayed on the front of my Bronco. It became very weathered and was in very bad shape. @Deano Bronc graciously offered to repair and repaint the badge in Hot Pepper Red for me..
Here is the repaired and painted badge in all it’s glory and with it proudly displayed on my TigerMoth camper:

After:
A little backstory on how I ended up getting a TigerMoth.. About a year and a half ago, @Sven asked me if I could take a bunch of photos of a Taxa TigerMoth camper while I was attending Overland Expo PNW because he was thinking about buying one. I had never heard of Taxa or the TigerMoth before that.
I found the Taxa vendor site and snapped a bunch of photos for him. I was impressed with the camper after seeing it in person and few weeks later, @Sven told me he had purchased one.
After seeing one in person and seeing his after he received it, I decided to purchase one as well. Hence the reason for putting the BN badge that he had gifted me on my TigerMoth..
Over the past year @Sven had been a great help with getting my TigerMoth set up and offered a ton of tips and tricks that he had done to his. To this day, I am using a lot of his recommendations in mine. Thanks buddy!
I do not think @Deano Bronc is opening a BN Grille Badge repair and painting service so please do not contact him to have one done for you..
My point of mentioning him is to give him credit for his selfless act of repairing and painting this for me, for FREE... He even paid to ship the badge back to me and he also sent me a super duper cool gift as well.. Thanks Dean!
The main reason I always give items away for free, with free shipping, here on BN is because of the selfless acts from people like @Deano Bronc and @Sven.. I'd also like to say that @OrangecrushBronco has also gifted me a few sweet items in the past..
When @Sven originally gifted me the badge he only asked that I pay it forward in some way..
