First Wash in 8 Years: Abandoned Jeep Wrangler Detail Amazing Transformation and Reaction!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- This Jeep Wrangler was parked and sat under a tree for 8 years. The owner Jim built this Wrangler into his dream TJ, but while serving overseas he was unable to store it. After all this time, the Wrangler is ready for a detailing transformation to inspire Jim to drive his dream once again. A satisfying power wash alone reveals the potential this Wrangler has to roll down the road once again. After an intensive interior removal, paint correction, and trim restoration, we see if Jim can get this beast back on the road. Enjoy!

With the Blue Cord (Infantry Cord) and the mention of the deployment I would guess the sleep log is because he is struggling with anxiety or PTSD. Check in on him every once in a while and find out how he is doing. A friend like that can make all the difference in the world.
As ex-military myself, this is almost certainly why he tracks his sleep. The somnologist or psychologist he saw in relation to his poor sleep probably told him to keep a log of his sleep. This is how they diagnose sleep disorders and in the case of the military, how he would receive disability compensation after retiring.
@@Imjeezus Retired Army Major here and yep, spot on. Sleep deprivation/sleep log was definitely for annotating this for his VA (Veterans Affairs) claim. I had the same issue (diagnosed with insomnia). It's a real thing. After 3 tours, you don't even realize how bad your sleep is until it's too late.
Man it's sad to see you guys fight wars you know nothing about and in turn get PTSD and stuff. Trust me other nations don't have these problems as much as the states. Sad to see how much you guys are lied to about wars.
My Brother did 4 tours during our last war.... they have a program where you go camping and track your sleep.... it is ptsd .... I am adhd, my brother is not.... we both have to track our sleep. Mine is from 20 years of mixing large conerts.... two different circumstances. Hiking the Appalachian trail is the sheet we are probably staring at..
Yall are all correct. I track my sleep and a few other things.
As a Jeep owner myself, this one was very special to me. Thank you Larry from breathing life back into peoples dreams! You rock man.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I remember watching your videos for a full year before I became of detailer. My very first paying customer before I was an actual business had a 2003 Jeep Wrangler that they wanted me to clean up. I ended up doing what you just did and Polished the wheels but they were aluminum so I polish them out and then painted a bunch of different things underneath like the frame in the suspension to try to make it look as good as I possibly could. Wall in the middle of working on the Jeep, the owner went to Hawaii with one of her daughters and ended up passing away in Hawaii she was only 54 years old. She always beg me to become a full-time detailer and said that I was really really good at it and I knew how to talk to people politely and whatnot but I never had the confidence to do so. After she passed away I didn't realize that you never know what can happen. I want on the head and pulled the trigger and I've been doing it since 2017 as an official business. I realize the only true failure is to never do it. So this video definitely is home and brings back the beginning all over again. Thank you for that!
This is what I love the most about this channel. It's not all super cars or extremely rare classics. Larry brings back your average off road rigs & daily drivers. Awesome inspiration to anyone wanting to detail something!!
Hey everyone, thanks so much for the support! Jim's reaction to the detail was priceless. Honored to have been a part of this project. Another milestone was the release of the AMMO Polishing Line. I'm incredibly excited to offer the AMMO polishing system that's been developed and tested in so many of these videos. I truly believe anyone can detail, polish, and enjoy beautifying their vehicles with this system. After the video check it out in the description. Enjoy!
Let’s see if you guys can clean the airplane that’s been in the news recently 😂
I had goosepimples watching how in awe the Jeep's owner was with the transformation. Larry, you did great work, and is an inspiration to all who watch your vids. Gave you a LIKE.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never heard goose pimples before
As a Jeep Wrangler owner this has got to be my favorite episode. I cannot believe the miracle you performed restoring the pain. I was so excited to see it running.
Thank you very much!
There’s a reason why I watch you religiously Larry… you sure do know how to bring something back to life.
Larry, wow, making so many people so happy . What an awesome story. Off the hook as usual, just beautiful 😍
Thanks so much!
Jim’s reaction when he saw the Jeep says it all!! Larry you are an automotive detailing genius!!!!
Holy crap! Nothing like those classic black Cragar wheels! That came out fantastic!
Larry, your show gives me the vibes of 'This Old House'. Your rich content deserves to be on TV to give the non-RUclips savvy people some real, positive content.
This is one of my favorite detailing rescues so far. Love to see the owner driving it around and enjoying it again.
Makes me so happy!
20:45 Best video edit on any Detailing channel I've seen.
I tested a wrangler for my channel few months ago and fell in love with it, they are special cars 🙂 if only I lived in the mountains so I could get a use out of it 😃
Until the ecu goes out took me 1300 to get it back running😊
@daily_driver great car, no need for mountains if you are an archaeologist 😁
Larry’s videos are always the perfect length, one of the best time editing RUclipsrs around!
So happy for another banger upload I think in recent memory this has been the longest you've gone between uploads!
I was just thinking the other day it's been a while since there's been an AMMO NYC video, and boom, you drop one
Larry, you’re a helluva guy. It’s great to see American vehicles saved from the crusher. Love and attention to detail cures everything. To the owner of the vehicle, thank you for your service to our Nation.
Can you also upload a video for that murcielago getting detailed would love to see that beauty get a wash
missed u man thanks for a solid upload great content!
I love that when he took you for a ride...the "check engine" light was on! Truly a jeep thing! Great job, it looks phenomenal!
This episode brings back a ton of memories!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!! TJ's forever!!!!!
One of the best detail transformations I've seen in awhile... maybe up there with ever!
Nice!
Larry, I hope you know you're a beacon of joy, positivity and hope for many people out there. Great work as always
Thank you!
I love that your videos have stayed away from the videos around selling a products/endless sponsors. Its like thr good ol days of youtube. Glad to see you havent change!
You made that guy so happy Larry, probably changed his life. Thats so awesome, well done
My 95 Jeep CJ was the hardest vehicle I’ve ever owned to maintain the exterior on. Hinges, bars, indents, bolts and bits sticking out everywhere.
On the other hand my 87 911 is a dream to maintain. Smoothly flowing arches from front to back.
Great job Larry.
❤
I’ve got a ‘97 Wrangler Sport with a five speed like this one. This was an extra fun video for me to watch. It also inspired me to replace carpets and clean the engine bay. It was super cool seeing you do a “common” vehicle - something that wasn’t unobtanium.
Nice!
Very nice work Larry!
Reminds me of earlier in the year when we surprised my mother with her dream wrangler. We only had a single day to prep it up to bring a great shine to the car before we gave it to her the following day.
She was crying with tears from it
Definitely agree with clean glass being important to a customers impression. My dad is a mechanic and always cleans his customers glass before they pick their car up so that first drive away feels even better.
Another great job Larry your attention to detail speaks for its self &was clearly instrumental in getting the owner back in the game with the jeep you keep bringing smiles to people's faces job done glass raised cheers all the best
I appreciate it!
10 years and still watching all your videos! Great vid Larry 🙌
Seeing his excitement makes me want a Jeep again.
I detailed a Jeep JK and yes they have a ton of "nooks and crannies"
Nice work bringing this TJ back to life!
Hey Larry! So happy to see the new video. My Fiance is Ex Navy Counter Intelligence and we have a 93 ZJ that were building as a couple and were hoping to get it detailed by you for our wedding in October next year. And yes you are invited.
THATS WHY I LOVE DETAILING IN MAINE!! THE JAW DROPS AND REVIVAL OF LOVE FOR AN OLDER BUT GREAT VEHICLE!! GEAT VID
The inline 4.0. A jeep worth keeping
I still remember when that straight 6 came out in the late 80's. Damn near indestructible engine with tons of torque.
Wow, what a special video. I love those older 90s and early 2000s Jeeps. 2 door models are the way to go!
That first shot of the ‘after’ of the hood at 20:48 took my breath away.
Been waiting for some new vidoes. This transformation may be best one yet!
His reaction was the BEST!! Amazing job
WHOW!! What a challenge and what a change! Only you and your helpers / heroes manage to finish it off like this, congrats!!
I really like how you covered up the rust to stop 🛑 it from getting worse thank you for doing that
The spreadsheet is something I’ve done in therapy. He was in the military so ptsd is a possibility and may be part or recovery or therapy. Just my opinion. Great video as usual Larry. Keep ‘‘em coming
I've been around for years, and that's surely the most dramatic transformation I've seen 😱
Born and Raised in the land of the Wrangler (Toledo, OH) and it does my heart good to see those old classic body styles back on the road. The new ones are nice, but they're not a Wrangler.
I love the Jeep Wrangler
Nothing like getting your OCD going in the morning like those before and after car cleaning videos.
Here's a thumbs up, keep it up.
This Jeep is a time capsule - those Cragar "Soft 8" wheels and the rock shift knob bring back memories for me and old Jeeps I used to have
Not sure what to say here???? What a Challenge on this one, Wires Everywhere, Bolt's Frozen, Duck Tape Stuck to the Seat??? Lord have mercy. What a transformation, and he got it Running, That's the Icing on the Cake. Nice job Larry. Didn't Look like the Same JEEP that came into the Studio when it Left. GREAT Video.
Thanks Ken!! Steve to the rescue :)
When we came back home from deployments we had to do a bunch of health assessments. Sleep was just one of them. The form was a sheet you fill out for sleep apnea. The random junk forms from my military career show up everywhere in my retirement years. It just goes with the territory.
Love the attention to detail and your constant effort to go above and beyond for your customers. If you were based in the UK, you'd be my go to guy!
Fun to see it driven again. I often wonder if people take the finished car back to the moldy old place it was. He got this thing going again!
This was a fun one, and always nice to see my man Steve! excellent work!
One of best detailer i have seen so far. Great work as always
Love your work and seeing peoples reactions. Thats what its all about. Glad to see someone so excited to be rejuvenated with their vehicle like this!
I’m also in the military and was given a similar “sleep log” from a military sleep therapist. You don’t wake up to fill it out, but if you DO wake up (which is common if you have sleep issues) you fill it out to help document your frequency of sleep issues. Which in turn helps the doctor diagnose how severe your sleep issues are
It was so heartwarming to see how happy you both were, loved this one! 😁 The car looks incredible, too of course ✨
Larry - as a recent '04 Jeep Wrangler owner myself, thanks for all the helpful tips and tricks. Little bit of elbow grease and I'll get mine looking like this too!
This is incredible! As a wrangler owner i know how tedious a detail they can be. This is another level really shows the back breaking labor of love you out into it. My only disappointment was no comments on the soft top! Ice looked everywhere to find solutions and thought this would be the one... I'm assuming you came to the same conclusion most of us do... Needed to be replaced.
Correct, it was already too far gone and leaking badly. Owner is getting it done tho!
Loved the video, loved the music and of course the guy’s face when he sees it. Priceless
About time! We’ve been waiting a few weeks for a new episode. Lol😢
Larry you're the man, man! Way to be a great friend, good guy, and a cool detailer. Simply the best. I've learned so much from you and have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos!!
Wow great job. And you could see the excitement and love he has and that he wanted to get it on the road asap!!
I really like that you guys got his reaction to see his car on camera
Thank You Jim for your Service..... and thank you too Larry...
Wow, Larry you did it again. Another miracle transformation and the appreciation of the client/friend is the best! Congrats on the new product release!
It just goes to show, the right equipment in the right hands and amazing things can happen. Great job Larry. I am going to be ordering the cutting pads and the polish to give them a try. I love all my Ammo products.
Smashed it! A man of his word too . Got it running 👍
I'm a simple man, I see Larry post a new video I click on it. Another insane transformation! Well done!
Such a beautiful transformation, one of your best yet. It's always great to see a car I can relate with. I may never have a Lambo or Ferrari, I sure can love a Jeep like this man!
Its been a while since you posted! Excited to see this
One of my favorite videos! I’m always so amazed with the before and after! Looks like a completely new car! I also love the video work! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much!
This was awesome. Seeing his reaction and him driving it and enjoying was great. Good job Larry!
Hey Larry, funny if you answer this, but one thing I really respect about you is the fact that as well as creating great, entertaining videos, you also take your own time to answer the hundreds of comments on your videos hours to even days after posting. Thanks for the great video Larry!
That's the most dramatic change you've done yet. Even better than the old Mercedes. You're a magician dude 👏💚😁
No words can give credit to that transformation! Just gorgeous
Jeep is neither a car or a truck, its a Jeep. And a Jeep is a lifestyle. I am down to 2 Jeeps currently and have owned quite a few in almost every model.
Not the newer ones...... the last real jeep was the TJ..........
another great extreme filth video. These inspire me to keep chasing my dream vehicle. Grats to Jim and best of luck getting the Jeep fixed up over the next couple years!
Awesome just amazing job man. I'm glad you got your buddy to finally get the Jeep running.
Another great detail Larry. Best line Jordan found a tooth , hilarious
Thank you Larry for such an amazing detail and thank you Jim for your service to our country.
Skin and Blush are my go-to. A lot of people don't like "coatings"... it's the PERFECT answer.
The is the hardest I've seen Larry work lol. Jeeps have so many crevices you'd finish watching aftr hrs then you'll find more dirty spots etc
Steve is an absolute legend.
One of the best videos you’ve done!
So happy for the video!!!! Been missing them
Spectacular as always Larry! Yes, the look on Jim's face was priceless. Been a while since your last video--I thought maybe you were on vacation. Looks like you were out working on your new polish and pads! 😉
Right on!
Amazing Job on this! The amount of effort & patience that went into getting this done was absolutely incredible. Kudos!!!
Great Video, Even after 8 years I'm always surprised how great they look afterwards :)
Hey Larry, great video. I wanted to ask if you ever thought of doing another academy or master class video like you've done before. It's been a long time since you've done your class and I was wondering if you can share something you've learned over that 5 year period. Thanks for the video and have a great day.
Yes ATA 300 coming soon!
@@AMMO-NYC Oh wow I didn't think I would get a reply. Thank you so much for the info I'll be waiting for it.
Beautiful work, amazing recovery. Tell your buddy Jim to run that TJ out to Vegas and we’ll take him crawling!
OIIIIIIIO
Finally a new video!
I owned a 99 TJ and those Torx Bolts were a pain. Jeep just loved to use them on EVERYTHING in the jeep
As a huge Jeep fan (I've owned 3) and a fan of this channel I've often wondered if there would ever be a Jeep episode. However, with the types of cars cleaned here I always brushed it off with a no way. Too many high end cars going though. Now I get a video of my dreams. LOL Great job as always. Thanks for sharing what you do. Also, would have had to ask him about the tooth, but then again I'm a dentist so I would need to know.
I loved this episode. More realistic for the everyday guy who wants to clean up his vehicle. Thank you for the video
I love that he got it running and driving again 🎉
Awesome video Larry! I was just thinking the other day when you would come with AMMO polishing line and I got so excited when I saw the new pad packaging. I'm looking forward to check it out!
Thanks for the support!
Great work and a happy ending. Kinda emotional too. Greetings from Sri Lanka.👍👍👍👍👍
