Big news for the Bronco community! @Turn Offroad has their new portal hub system on display at SEMA this week, giving everyone the first real look at what’s coming. The setup is expected to come in around the $12,000 price point and will allow fitment of tires up to 44 inches tall. Turn is aiming to open pre-orders by the end of this year, with a backup timeline of mid-Q1 2026 if things take a little longer to finalize.

For those not familiar, portal suspension is one of the most effective ways to gain serious ground clearance without sacrificing suspension geometry or drivetrain reliability. Instead of using taller springs or longer control arms, portals achieve lift by using geared hubs at each wheel. This design moves the axle centerline higher relative to the wheel, increasing clearance under the diffs while keeping everything else in its optimal range. It also introduces gear reduction at the hub, which reduces drivetrain strain and helps the vehicle crawl more efficiently off-road. The end result is more clearance, better performance, and improved component longevity. All while maintaining proper handling and ride quality.

If you’re at SEMA, make sure to swing by the Turn Offroad booth and check them out in person. These portals could easily become one of the most exciting upgrades available for Bronco owners heading into 2026!

Any significant details how these stack up against other portal offerings?

Bolt on with 44” tires…

challenges are increased unsprung mass, increased scrub radius, increased control arm loads,…

benifits are increased lift while maintaining CV axle and steering rack geometry with lower gearing (higher ratio)…

all while using OEM parts for knuckle, upper and lower ball joints, single shear UCA frame pivot mounts, steering rack, tie rods, coilovers,…

🤔

Just viewed a video of Bronco's at Sema and this was shown. Interesting. The TOR vehicle had 42~44's? Cannot remember but they were massive tires and the TOR portals were shown.

TOR is getting into all things Bronco, that's for sure. It will be interesting to see how these turn out and compare to what is on the market now. From what I have read, the A Arms, Rear Track and Tie-rods are doing well.

@ScLeCo @vrtical @87-Z28

I can tell you that their caliper brackets are not brackets but part of the portal box itself. So they have that going for them. Also a bolt on application that doesn’t replace the entire knuckle which, while wider and increasing scrub radius, does provide more versatility. Aerospace portal owners have to decide which corners are most likely to break and bring spares for that specific corner or just suffer the weight and bring spares for everything!

I still think clearance and a gear reduction isn’t the end all be all the manufacturers and influencers want you to believe, but we’ll see what some testing against long travel brings.

I wonder if that tie rod assembly works as good as the one on their bumper mounted spare carrier did?

Also, any Temu parts?

Joking aside - I think they look interesting. A bit overkill for my daily driver, but I hope they are a legit quality competitor in this space. I have their spare renforcement and very happy with it.

No replacement knuckle. Interesting that they are not using the factory caliper brackets as mounting points.

I am looking forward to retiring my Bronco daily driver to Bronco off-road only in the next 6-12 months. I am am looking forward to this option. Fingers crossed. I have been on the TurnoffRoad wagon from the beginning and they havent let me down yet.

I guess I forgot they already made their own tie rod
