They've always been on Unimogs and the Mercedes G-Wagon 4x4-Squared. It gives some pretty amazing clearance, but I've always heard that it's a modification that does NOT come cheap... you made a good point regarding the portals giving lift without modifying other suspension components. I saw another video from a company in Bulgaria making portals for a number of vehicles that also caught my eye, but I have no idea if they are as high quality as 74 Weld appear to be.

Problem with portals that sxs guys have known for a long time is the amount of pressure put on the steering. You're changing the leverage point when you move the tires out from their initial attachment point. Also you add another weak point because those gears are taking all the force of those larger tires. Breaking a portal on top of Moab Rim for example, is a fun time, and requires disassembling the whole unit before you can move again. Ask me how I know. Not to mention scrub radius, bump steer, etc.

It looks like you shift the geometry stress points with a portal setup. I think you are going to need a stronger axle tube at minimum especially at larger tire sizes.

it looks really good and the material choices make sense. I do question longevity though. their Steel bolts that they used for the knuckle to housing look a bit skinny. With corrosion already being an issue with the salt belt, using steel bolts might not be a good choice if they have two aluminum billets that are exposed to the environment. I know steel would have been heavy, but it would probably work better than Al for what these portal axles go through. And way cheaper too. The spec sheet (aka crappy powerpoint) gives me the idea that they also do the installation and give you more add-ons. But for 25k their whole assembly should be bulletproof. Thats a ton of money. Its made for hardcore off roaders but i dont see these taking the abuse for long. Especially in the salt belt states like utah. Not sure how they do structural analysis and testing, but I wouldnt spend money on this

There's really no extra weight unless your wheel is in the air, which admittedly could happen, especially on the crossover models you are mentioning. But the upside is you won't be burning up CV axles because of the angle of a lift. It might actually be a net good with reduced risk. I'd worry more about the weight from a power and torque standpoint, especially on lossy torque vectoring AWD's. You'd need the most powerful engines and best transmissions to power thru the extra weight and gearing. But it would be worth it, assuming they were produced in sufficient numbers to be affordable. If they were designed with some of the internal gears that could be multi-tasked to other models, so that there would be less unique gears required, that could cut down costs, but the housing would be unique to the models.

@Databyter with that logic people wouldn't be bending axle C's by wheeling with 35s. Also found my answer on the website that says the axle tubes are weak and are prone to bending due to the extra weight. Also aftermarket balljoints are highly suggested due to the extra weight. The less strain on actual drive train parts is a big plus but would still want to factor in a aftermarket housing or sleeve/truss the stock housing.

That's pretty cool tech. I've heard people mention portals a few times, but I really didn't understand how they worked until this video. Well done. And It's only a matter of time before somebody tries that on a softroader, like A Subaru, for the lift and the bigger tires without the final gear penalty which is even worse for AWD soft-roaders with no low range. I mean, it would be ridiculous to you Jeep guys . I realize that. But it would also be kinda unique and cool to have a super lifted Subaru Wilderness with a 2-3 inch lift and 32" tires (I'm already at 10" clearance with NO lift and 2 sizes over stock 29 1/2"tires). Honestly it might not work to well because of the lossy brake controlled torque vectoring unless it was on the Outback Wilderness or XT or Oynx with the Turbo engine that could handle the extra weight resistance that would be trivial to the bigger beasts, but a challenge to the some of the models AWD torque vectoring logic without running out of useable torque. (This is why 4x4's with solid gears and low ranges are so superior to AWD's overheating torque converters and CVTs'). The Wilderness would be the natural choice for such a monstrosity since it already has a turbo power plant, slightly lower final gearing, and a CVT cooler for the extra work, making it a more capable power plant than a lot of the other trims. I know you guys are gonna flame me and tell me Subaru's aren't 4x4's. I already know that. I just like tweaking out cars. I have a Wilderness, and it would be awesome to have a few more inches clearance without bungling up my underbody and suspension and running my CV shafts at an angle. I bet it would cost a lot just for Jeeps and Bronco's. A Subaru would be probably a one -off and cost a damn fortune, unless there was a market for them, and honestly. Subaru people are nuts, I know because I am one. If they offered them cheap, they would fly off the shelfs, IF the engines and CVT's could power them, and IF the torque vectoring logic wasn't confused by them, which honestly it shouldn't be, but it would have to be tested. I am local San Diego with a 2022 Wilderness if you want a test guinea pig, I'd consider it depending on details... I want to get one of those Full sized Badland Bronco's too once there is a used market for them, which will be a WHILE in todays back-ordered market. I bought the Subaru to save myself buying the Bronco I can't really afford yet. I have (had, I got fired) a long commute and need good MPG. But I could afford a used Bronco as a second vehicle in a few years, for the harder stuff. In the meantime, the Subaru gets me a lot of places and would take me even more places with a few more inches clearance. And I could use the lower gearing as well. And for the record, I'm just talking about rutted fire roads and truck trails. I know Subarus are never going to be doing any real serious offroading or rock crawling. But in my opinion, if they could be lifted using this method and geared for larger tires, that would be a nice mod for a guy that likes to go thru severely rutted steep mountain roads but have a relatively tame commuter car during the week. Now tell me all the way's I'm wrong, and wrong headed.. Lol. Databyter

Lol, that guy is not answering anything with his band aids. Largest reason why he’s been so popular is because while others have been working on a serious fix, he’s been peddling snake oil. The rack design 74 is offering should fix the actual problem. We’ll see

I have a few questions about this, I have an AWD rx350. No lift kit exists specifically for my vehicle and the AWD system doesn’t have a true low range gear set, and also has a safety cut out to disengage the rear axle at 25 mph to protect the transfer case. My first question is, are portals universal to fit just about any vehicle or do they need to be custom built to the make and model of vehicle they will be installed on? My second question is will the gearing in the portals prevent wheel slippage enough to prevent the safety on the transfer case from thinking it is at the disengage speed? Most notably I’ve had that safety engage in the snow when I lost traction, but I can also see it disengaging if I was stuck in mud or sand and needed additional wheel speed to try to rock the vehicle out. My final question is about cost. How much would a set of portals run me? Oh and are they compatible with IFS vehicles? Thanks in advance

Portals are great, until they break, break other parts, make the vehicle too wide for your trails... On I.F.S. it is even more problematic. They are a great answer to some questions and just more trouble in other situations. There are no golden bullets for all problems.

This is really cool!! The Tacoma guys would probably dig portals quite a bit too. Probably not far off the cost of doing gears, suspension and all the other little bits involved.

The price is ridiculous- 24k. You can do a high-dollar suspension, wheels, tires, 1-ton swap, lockers, gears, and V8 swap for that.

No way the stock axle and 4 bolts on the end plate were designed for the significantly higher stress that is now cantilevered out and not in line with the axle.

The bolts don’t see shear load. They just hold the housing in place. The load is on a large aluminum register.

Is it true that a portal will offset the smaller size ring and pinion of say a 44 vs a 60 because the reduction is before.

What about the cost? Yea portals are cool, but would you put all that money into stock housings? Tons, 60s and up, yea for sure. Obviously you can break anything, but the reliability in a one ton would be worth the money. In 44s though? For the cost of the portals I wouldn’t.
