Walkaround of my Bronco with 74Weld portals + Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Shocks + Icon Billet upper control arms UCA

TraumaJoe · Mar 21, 2024

Last week I got the 74 Weld portals installed along with some new Fox 2.5 performance elite’s and Icon billit upper control arms. I had an amazing experience with WFO Concepts in Auburn, CA. I wanted to share the walk around video they posted of my Bronco and my build.

Awesome. Can’t wait to see what you do with it! When you hitting the Rubicon?

That is a sweet build Joe! Would love to see it in person one of these days.

Thanks, I really appreciate that!!! If you’re ever in California let me know and we can do some trails.

Nice build. I like how you've used the wheel offset to bring the tires back in. I wheeled with a Bronco on portals last year and it was way too wide. Not only did it look odd, but he ended up popping beads and slashing sidewalls. As I recall he had 3 flats on one trail run!

God, I wish I could afford portals. If I was doing it all over, I would have went with a lower trip Sasquatch and added portals and start from there.

When are we gonna see some off roading on these that's not 74W Broncos? lol

Hell yeah man. That looks killer! I can't stand the super wide portal look. The offset on your wheels is perfect for this thing. Makes me reconsider portals.

Quinn from 74 Weld is very vocal about running a +25 to +35 offset wheel if you’re going to do portals. So when I bought my wheels last year I made sure they would work with this set up.

I hear ya, I’ve had my Bronco since Nov 21 and been driving it stock ever since just saving money and waiting for the right product, when I saw and researched portals I knew this was the way I wanted to go. I’m super happy with how it turned out and how it drives!

I took it wheeling last week on a very easy trail, and it was effortless. @popo_patty wants to meet up and do a trail and get some video of it. So hopefully very soon!

Maybe what this really needs is a 6g portals meetup at Moab this year...

It would be great to see you and @Bmadda and @5GENIDN and @Tor148 and @Bored rolling into Moab at the same time.
