I thought you would say that.

Remember... Christmas is coming. :BANANA:

Yeah, but wouldn't it be great if they had the portal axle ends to fit our Liberties? I think that is what they have on the military Hummers.

Going to need something a little bit more than the D30A to run the portals, also have you looked at the price yet :shock:

Tom,
I know the front diff is weak and I would have no idea to lift my Jeep an additional 5". It might work OK with a steel front diff and SFA.

I was just kiddin' around. :mrgreen:

Actually one of the benefits of a portal design is that that portal end absorbs 50+% of the axles torque instead of the inner axles and ring and pinion. It makes the entire unit stronger. Now if youre talking D30 tube wall strength then thats another thing.

Where did you see anything related to pricing on those portal axles?

tjkj2002 · **Posted:** Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:30 pm

Those won't work with the IFS,only SFA.

Oh and you can't use the HMMWV portals on a KJ either due to the 2 gear design.

Why would they not work on a kj??? I mean a hwmmv is ifs and irs... but they use them.. what is the difference between the setup on one of them and a kj, well besides theirs is much more beefy?... just asking, because I would love to do the steel front diff and the portals... there is also a company that mmakes bolt on portals but they only work on solid axles... can't remember the name of the company...

You could mod them and install the HMMWV portals in the front of a KJ,one problem is that they are a 2 gear design so the portal output spins backwards then the input does,so after blowing apart your t-case trying to go nowhere you'd understand.If you ever see a HMMWV drive forward and look at the CV axles they are actually spinning backwards to move forward.They use special modified AMC20 housing that spin in reverse to use the 2 gear portal design.

You need the 3-4 gear design to work on any vehicle not properly modified to use a 2 gear design,plus the 3-4 gear desgin is alot more $$$ and far weaker then the 2 gear design,and I mean alot weaker also.
