If there is anything to be disappointed in about today's events, it is the response from supposed enthusiasts on this and other forums. How can you claim to be a Bronco lover, and not get excited about a new Stock racing platform? Whether you follow the sport or not, it has all kinds of benefits for the brand and off-road enthusiasts in general (in terms of the aftermarket options).
I don’t care for racing. I’m not mechanically inclined. Have very little interest in after market. I was hoping for an Uber retro trim package to go along with my father’s classic bronco. That’s why I have little enthusiasm for this reveal. Not for me but happy for all that are excited.

I am intrigued by the hidden winch. I wonder if something like this will be available for the commercial market.

That thing would be an easy $125K. Just paint a 2 door just like it and bam, ya got one. We'll see how well it does on race day. Some before and after pictures would be fun.

Internal components shot of a 74 Weld portal. 20/31 teeth (1.55:1). I suppose if the rear has a 5:13, the front could be a 3.31 (reverse-turning).

Normally the axle half shaft would go through the center of the hub/wheel. Portals offset the hub from the axle. This offset gives you more ground clearance and more lift while maintaining better suspension geometry. Additionally more gear reduction can also be built in.

the idea behind a portal is clearance as it moves the centerline down at the wheel but higher clearance at the connecting point to the axle / links plus you can mess with gearing ratios.

The title was a bit misleading, so I was right?! Its another "concept" that won't be produced?! HA!
I wasn't sure why there was so much hate for it til i realized the date.

Just got off the phone with RCV who advised the axles will be around $2500.
I think it will be one of my first upgrades since I wheel solo in remote areas.
Does this seem way too cheap to anyone else? Is that for the full axle or for each corner?

I'm not a portal axle expert but I thought one of the reasons you don't see them often is the cost. Of course mass production could change this.

You misunderstood. The $2500.00 is just for the RCV half shaft axles, not with the portal hubs.
