I saw that today too. I’m really interested in these portal hubs, but don’t know anyone who has ever used them. I have a lot of questions. Love the idea of having more clearance on 38s than being on 40s with a suspension lift. It even changes the gear ratio to compensate for the larger diameter tire, and it would probably even keep the speedometer pretty close to accurate.

How are they on the highway? How is the steering? do they require a lot of maintenance? How easy is it to find replacement parts without having to replace the whole thing?

Maybe they’ll have a Black Friday sale

The only vehicle I’ve driven with portal axles is the H1 Hummer. My only complaint is that they rock forward and aft against the gears when you come to a stop on the Hummer because the brakes are inboard of the portals. $16K seems steep, but if they are good quality then the price seems in line with kits for other vehicles.

I don't know anything about the company, but $16k for portals is about in line with other brands. They are not cheap. You are adding a gearbox at each wheel.

Yep, quite a lot of $$$ over. But those things are absolute machine shop porn, very sexy looking.

Heck, I would go with 74Weld. Made in the USA & will probably come in around $12K.
