Ever since I saw this bronco on Craigslist for $1300, I paid $1050 for it and have fallen in love with it! There are so many different ways of fixing the Bronco II up, but I've gone the prerunner style, since there are so many places to run that type of truck out here, and prerunners are the only thing that will drop a bitches panties these days out here in So Cal.
This is my favorite picture of the truck, it shows you what I'm working with.
In order, here are the things I've done with it:
I found a set of used Unlimited Glassworks fenders which have a 3.5" flare and 3" rise along with an Autofab drop-center hood on the Race-Dezert website for only $400, used. Originally, the Autofab hood sells for $400, and the fenders go for $365.

While I was saving my money to buy the hood and fenders, I found a set of used American Racing (Baja?) wheels for $200 on the Dezert-Rangers website. I planned for a long roadtrip to pick up the wheels, hood and fenders on the Friday night after I got my tax refund, and I was the happiest guy in town the morning after.
The hood is a bitchin Autofab drop center hood, the best hood they have ever made in my opinion. I installed two pins in the radiator support that hold it down in the front, and they mount to the stock hinges in the rear.
In the future, I'd like to get a pair of gas shocks to support the hood, such as these aftermarket hood shocks American Bronco Company have to offer on their website. These aftermarket hood shock kits go for $76.95 shipped, and everything on that website is top quality.
This kit lets you remove the stupid stock hood support stick and bolt on some trick looking gas shocks. As of now, I've got a piece of square tubing that holds up my hood, I keep it in my garage.
