Default Portal axles for JK ?

Does anyone know if there are or might be coming out any portal type axles fo JK. I mean something like T5 Seikel Extreme type, which are made in Germany/Austria for VW vans. I have seen pictures in net (couple years ago) someone making portals at states but canīt find this site.

As much as I like portal axles, there's nothing quite like replying to a thread that is almost 5 years old!

They only cost as much as your jeep does brand new, but damn would that be cool!

We have them on a company JKU. The suspension is COMPLETELY stock except for some beefier link arms and brackets. We run 39" Krawlers and it's a kick to wheel. I was at EJS with it and it was huge fun.

The downside is that it doesn't work with ESP etc. The dash is lit up like a xmas tree.
