Front and rear steer, with some sort of portal kit.....NICE! Wonder if thats the $Maxi-Drive$ kit?

 

[01001010]

Portal Kit???

 

[Funrover]

That is friggen awsome!!!!!! I love it!! :clap:

 

[DISCO INCUBUS]

That is crazy lookin, in a good way. Is that rear axle a modified RR front axle ? reverse
pumpkin?

Modded and Bobbed D1...

Found this while browsing through the Scorpion Racing site...

I like it...dont like the color or some of the exterior protection but the concept is great!

 

[discostew]

that is AWESOME. so that's a 3-door w/ the back chopped off right?

 

[Hank]

I like this one...

Portal Kit???

Yes, notice the swivel balls in the first pic. See how they are almost even with the top of the rim?

Looks like a standard Rover front axle.....I wonder how that works out with the rear drive-shaft?

The flares look like they came from a Jeep Wrangler.

That bobbed RRC is awsome!!!! More bad ideas for me to do!!! LOL

Holy crap!...I see it! Guess that would be for more ground clearance??? How does the tire spin??? Or what sort of hub is the tire/wheel mounted on? Where do the axles come out to???

I've never seen one personally on a rover, but I would say it's a stock front axle, found in most rovers. Where you spindle, drive flange, ect...would normanlly go, I guess there is some sort of "geared hub" thats drops the actual "spindel" (or what ever you would call it then) down ~7" or so. This sets the Diff up an extra ~7" off the ground, gives you a ~7" lift, yet leaves all you drive-line at stock tolerances.

Also, it can be done, but not sure if it has in this case...you can gear the "hub" at 1:1, giving you a super cool low range! Like on the hummers....

 

[jkb2002disco]

Was going to say the Hummer H1's has the same setup. Really adds to the ground clearance.

 

[AAXD]

Thos might be volvo military truck axles. You could almost get away with running stock height suspension with more flex with those babys, I'd worry about CG problems with anything higher than that.

portal axles are nothing new. they've been on Unimogs since the 60s maybe even 50s. yet they're still fucking awsome, i plan on installing some under my truck someday.

 

[Hank]

I don't think those are portals, per say. Or, at least true portals.... I still think they are LR axles with some sort of portal kit.

So, I don't think they would be as strong as the C101 Volvo or Unimog axles, but still a cool kit.

 

[01001010]

Though its a good idea, the last thing I need are more moving parts..lol

yeah, i'm going to have to agree with you on that one.
