I found the video of the guy who has installed portals on his LC and will post below. But I had never heard of portals. Now I have done some research on what portals are, and while intrigued at the idea and think it is an awesome concept, its not something I would pay for ($20k +), nor do I have the need for that much of an extreme design. But I still think it's super cool!! I feel like this is the answer to all these problems regarding clearance and tires, and how the truck drives after modification. Apparently with portals the truck still drives like stock. Is anyone else familiar with these or has actually had them? If so what was the experience like?
Interesting that Mercedes used a portal axle on the GX550 4x4 giving it 17" of clearance!
