What a beast, found this build after a google search for something else and spent the last 2 days reading through in between work... Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it finished and how it wheels

Got a good amount of work done this week: mounted the FASS fuel pump, sway bars, fuel cell mounted and more of the essential plumbing done.
We tested the suspension through the full cycle with the sway bars installed, checked the bump stops and everything clears nicely with no issue.

Looks like you've lowered the center of gravity quite a bit? Gotta say, I was disappointed with just how high it sat before, but really looking forward to the finished product.

I just joined this forum so I can follow this incredible build.
Easily the coolest 4X build I have ever seen!
I am really interested in those portal axles. Can those be used on the street on a daily driver?
I have done some research and have some idea about cost and set up. But I haven't found much on how well they work on road and off, or how durable they are.
Are you going to add CTIS to them?
Thanks for sharing this project with us!

portals can be used on the street but they definitely are not ment for high speed use. Ours have a 1.5:1 gear reduction so you have to add that into the equation when you are choosing the gears you want to run in your axles. As far as durability goes they are very strong, one thing not to be overlooked is the suspension you will be attaching them to, with the added leverage you'll have to make sure there is good strong mounting points. Portals and variations have been used for many years on vehicles such as Unimogs, Hummer H1's and even most farm tractors. Axle tech offer the CTIS as an option but we are not running it.

We finally got the front sway bar mounted up. With the lack of space and needing the full range of motion we came up with mounting it to the front bumper. we had to tweek the arms a little for clearance but now it works like it should. We also go to tackling the exhaust and intake routing. because we got a custom manifold made we were able to gain some room in the passanger side foot compartment. Here are the latest pictures, MOAB is close, who's all comming??
