Rumors have been floating around for years that there are companies working on bolt on portal boxes for standard axles, but most have been just rumors.



Portal axles as you may or may not know have gear boxes at each end that both reduces stress on axle shafts and gears, but also gain ground clearance.  We have received exclusive first photos of just such a product.  It is a prototype, but it does indeed bolt onto a common axle.  Plus it is being built by a major military axle manufacturer who is looking to enter into the and recreational wheeling.  Stay tune for more updates.
