521 Johnny Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 im using the stock lower (because i think its cool) and doing a tig welded chromoly upper on heims, it cleans the frame rails up alot by doing that, stock spindels and hubs, with a custom brake caliper tab and the wilwoods in the pic above, it uses isuzu rodeo rotors, everything will be going back together in a day or so, getting it all cleaned up right now.

thisismatt Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 hey mike you wanted to see more of my parts there they are a new aluminum cross member and the new brackets for willwood calipers thanks johnny for the pics Saw some more of your parts on ebay. Love the aluminum disc brake brackets! I'm trying to ditch the stock kingpin spindles, otherwise I'd buy a set. Please keep makin parts for us 521 & 510 guys...like a billet radio delete panel if you get a chance...something to mount switches/gauges in without hacking the stock dash would be nice ;) Quote Link to comment
