Can you Daily Drive a Toyota Tacoma on Portals? What you should know!
Рет қаралды 301,844
Күн бұрынWe started installing portals on Toyotas last year and we have received a lot of questions about them, but one stands out the most: Can you daily drive a Tacoma on portals?
In this video we discuss everything you need to know and consider. This Tacoma was the 4th in the world on portals, the only one we know of running long travel and 40s at this time, and it was already re-geared with 5.29s, so it's a VERY extreme case of daily driving on portals.
If you have any questions about modifying your Toyota 4x4 or want to install portals on your Tacoma, let's chat! Leave a comment below or find us here:

If you have the budget and want to do 37”s and up from the get go without messing with the differential gearing ratio, then portals is the way to go. The reduction provided at the hubs is going to even out the load. Ground clearance is awesome. This videos provide a good explanation of what’s all about. But as you can tell the foundation to get this done right is to have a bunch of money ready to do this stuff. Keep up the good work guys!

@@petejones6827 Portals increase the clearance in some places, Not all. They increase the axles distance from the ground, but the portal themselves are closer to the ground. Everything, and i do mean everything has trade offs. The crowd that speaks in absolutes is basically fucking clueless. In order to give in one area you must take from another. Its the name of the game. Compromise. Which is why building a dual purpose rig almost ensure its going to suck bigly at one of its intended purposes.

Yea but how fast are you burning through your tires though? Or ball joints and rod ends? Or your power steering pump? The amount of additional force required to turn your 38s on that much of a larger arc is not insignificant. All that force has got to go somewhere. I guess cash really is the best lubricant, if you have it.

What about unsprung weight? "Werewolf portals are made of cast iron steel and weigh in at a whopping 106 lbs per corner in the front and 78 lbs in the rear - 368 lbs total! Weight is a very important factor to consider when looking at each brand. 74Weld is 162 lbs lighter than Werewolf." Did you have custom valving done on your shocks to match the huge increase in weight at the axle?

2 inches of extra tire height will only gain you a half inch to 1 inch of clearance at the pumpkin . Yep 4 inch lift kit and 36 inch tall tires gets an additional 2 inches at the pumpkin . probably an inch and a half because tire manufactures can't read a tape . There are a few reasons nobody wants them . This doesn't apply to independent suspensions . But everything works as a lever .On strait axles That is some serious leverage . Mas times velocity equals momentum . Multiply that by many hundreds of times , only god can comprehend the twisting forces multiplied when a portal is added to a strait front axle . Twisted axle tubes , busted frames , sheared king pins . A traction bar would have to be at least on the same plane as the king pin . Then you lost all advantage farmall b has ten horsepower and the flange to bolt its geared final drive is larger that the outer C on a 5 ton rockwell

Maybe not available where you are but definitely been available for 10 years or more elsewhere in the world !

I drive a 2015 subaru xv crosstrek with a 2” lift. I would LOVE to slap portals on my subie. Shit. I only drive 1-3 miles a day hahaha

With so many pistons in one caliper do they wear even..

5.29s seems counterproductive with the portals. 4.10s * 1.35 portals would be the same as ~5.5s. Glad to seem the competition hopefully bringing the prices down.

It's definitely too deep with 5.29s... I just went down to 37s and I'll be going to 4.10s.

Is there an option available for a v8, 4th gen 4runner?
@dwighthouser 5 ай бұрын
It would require custom uprights and axle shafts, so you'd be adding around $5k to the cost.

can this be done on a first gen 4 runner with ifs and gear box, no rack? I have 4.88 gears and 33's on 3" lift. thinking 35's will now fit and gears are good to go. Has anyone tried portal boxes AND traxx set up ? That would be a king in deep powder.

It can be done on your 4Runner, I'd recommend contacting Werewolf directly. Rubitrax should be compatible as well.
