NO INTEREST IN PORTAL AXLES - I can't believe that...I thought all lr bods dreamed about them (or is that just me then!)

That site has loads of expedition vehicle builds on as well - so browse around and you should find one to keep you out of trouble until the Mrs comes home to make tea Wink

thats the one yes.

i quite like the idea of bolt on portals, would save the fab work of using other axles. Cheers
