Kingpins, drums, torsion bars (okay, that's toyotas too, but still)...?

 

I don't plan to do a yota front end, but I am going to be putting a yota rear axle into mine - 3 inches wider (will fit the higher offset wheels I have perfectly), self adjusting drum brakes, gearing options out the wazoo, and I just bought a 4.10 geared limited slip 3rd member for it for $175 shipped. Good luck finding anything posi/lsd/locker/torsional for the stock 521 axle! Still 6 lug, too.

there is a bagged 521 named "ethel" running a toyota front clip its on here somewhere

Get an LSD with disk brakes from a pathfinder (i think d21 hardbody also) which I think there are gearing options out the wazoo available aswell

That's a wide diff.

Even wider than a Yota axle, and wider than a stock 521.

twisted minis did the ethel 521, came out nice, check out twistedminis.com under forum for build pics, also some vid on you tube I think
