Think jeep on 86" tyres and the standard 1.8L motor haha. The portal hubs are an additional reduction gear at the hub that balances out increased power requirements of big arsed wheels and a side order of more ground clearance under the diffs with more likelihood of rollovers!
Portals https://youtu.be/9ZUcd1son_s @No.3 why do you say they cause problems? Surely clearance is a good thing
Increase in height and weight on the axle assemblies, increased loads on suspension components, increased maintenance needs, increase in potential for mechanical failure and can result in piss poor steering and handling characteristics... There is a reason they aren't more common on standard road vehicles and are mostly seen on special purpose vehicles. But if you are willing to handle the trade off they can be a good solution.
After watching that video wouldn't a winch just be a shit load cheap you could probably put one at front & back & still be shit loaded cheaper
I slid off the drive trying to be a hero and hoon up in 2wd.
Thats what you get for being a smart arse.

Was a bit wet for a load of concrete posts. Yep, I knew it was going to tip over.
Lucky its only on its side!
this was on the news - Friday I'm down to the New World on Chaffers St getting a spot of lunch and observe this prize twonk's finest work
He must have been doing at least 70 plus in a 50 zone going down Cambridge Tc into a 90 degree corner then hit the low bank where the pohutakawas are and airborne into the wall
He looked a bit like this fuckwit Corey Worthington
I was going to ask him not to breed so as to refine the gene pool but he was busy being comforted by his g/f
They walk amongst us
