Looks like they’ve got them for just about all models. Look pretty good too but it’ll be interesting to hear what others think.
I wonder how they cope without reversing the drive, must be a chain I suppose. They look like they add about 100mm offset which surely must put the steering geometry out and add a lot of extra stresses, not to mention needing huge flares to stop the tyres plastering the side of the truck with mud. I’d be interested to see how a well used truck faired after using these for a few years.Shayne
Stuff the flares mate they do a portal axle conversion for the 80.
Hmmmmmmm
Yes, my first thought was gears but I can’t see enough room in the case for a third gear to reverse the direction reversal that two gears would create.Most portals are actually gear driven.
They also reduce the stress on most parts due to the reduction in gearing. However I am unsure on the steering geometry
