Portal Axles

He comments how stable it is

Tyd

If you want portals buy a Unimog, for anything else Dana 60`s or Patrol diff`s with 35 plus tires. Portals are for serious Rock Crawling.

Ek moet nog n sisteem uitdink om oliepompe in elke portal te sit wat olie deur koeler en sentrale “sump” sirkuleer om te verhoed dat my portals gaan warm word of olie starvation gaan kry op die oop pad.
En dan sit ek nog met probleem van watter engine om te kies, en watter gearbox.
Opsies vir die Mercedes kar is:
1. 2.8 L28 met 90kw, 200nm, op mog box, torque tubes.
2. 4.5 vk45 v8, 300kw, 500nm, op mog box, torque tubes
3. 4.5 vk45 v8, 300kw, 500nm op 3.0 16v Hardbody 4x4 box, met multi link coil suspension.

Kan jy nie een sentrale oliepomp gebruik wat die olie deur al die portals sirkuleeer nie?

One day when I am big and have some money I would like a Patrol or Cruiser 90 with the Portal Axles

[Reenen]

Ek het besluit op gearbox. Gaan vk45, pajero gearbox en multilink op portals, met cruiser coils. Die mog coils is te swaar.

For a Noob on Portal Axles, I found this article insightful without going into technicalities...

But if they are so good, why not fit them as standard on 4x4’s? I am sure Rubicons, Cruisers, Patrols and G Wagon owners won’t mind. At least offer it as an optional extra

[ThysleRoux]

Some of the G-Wagon versions had them

I have read the Leisure Wheels article on Portals. Fact is it will not add reliability as portals add 4 reduction gearboxes to the drive line. This mean 4 gearboxes with separate oil and seal arrangement. In 2004 a failed oil seal on my Mog meant a portal hub rebuilt. Cool R10k back then for seals and bearings. Cannot agree with the author of the article. You add more moving parts you add more trouble.

En hier begin ek net mooi uitsien. My gearbox isvandag gecourier, ek het actually vandag na die portals gekyk onder afdak... so oom raai my af daarteen?

Ek raai jou nie af nie maar kry gou `n prys by Mercedes om `n Portal oor te doen. Portals vir Rock Crawling nothing else.
Portals en spoed gebruik jy nie in dieselfde sin nie.

Ek hoor mog portals raak maar gou warm bo 100km/h
