I know its sad but for a while my sig said I had 30x9.50 BFG's and portal Dana 35's ,and people belived me. I got more E-mails about guys wanting to know how to get a set!! Its sad when some people on this board dont know the truth so I thought this post might help some of the new guys out. There is no Portal 35'c axle and hopefully there will never be one. Sorry for the confusion and for all you guys who have sent me checks for the portal 35'c axles, your money will be sent back I swear. Just joking. But I think I got around 20 E-mails about theese axles. There is money to be made I guess selling portal 35c's, so maybe Ill start for real. On that note I think Ill change my sig to my real rigs specs so people will take me seriously.Sorry for the confusion,and for all of you guys who hoped you could still run 5 on 41/2 wheels Im sorry I guess you got to switch wheels and axles.:rolleyes: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

portal 35's??? where can i get a set? those would be the ultimate in strength and reliability. who do i make the check out to? :flipoff2:

Hey its funny you joke about it. I actually happen to run into a engineer at some college (online) that was working on a portal Dana 35 for his final project. I swear it :D. I e-mailed him to find out how it was going. Mainly curious to see how the hell he was doing this. I'll truy and find it again.

Here it is... Fawking comedy. You thought I was kidding huh..

What are you sorry for??? I thought it was funny. the ones who should be sorry are the dumbasses who took you seriously :rolleyes::D

Uh, dude, those huge dana 44s on your "hardcore Rig" came with 5 on 4 1/2 bolt patterns too, you know.:p :flipoff2: :D:rolleyes:

Hey Newbie show me where you can get a front dana 44 without custom work that is 5 on 4/1/2 :rolleyes:

The D44 outer hubs dont even fit through the center hole 5 on 4 1/2" wheels. Sheesh,..Newbies:rolleyes:

I haven't heard of a front, but you can get a rear one.:D :D :eek:

Yeah but for some reason folks insist on puttin 30 outers and hubs on em so they can keep their stock wheel bolt pattern :rolleyes:

Yeah, there you go. Not "custom", just a mix of stock parts.

44 rear, 44 front with 30 outers and no hubs, and 297 joints from a 95+ YJ half shafts.

...and 5 on 4 1/2 wheels :D

Yeah, ya gotta love it when someone pust $750 in bolt on parts(ie: the Warn locking hub kits), so that they can save $140 on wheels with a weaker lug pattern. :rolleyes:

The 1974? through 1980 Dodge trucks and Ramchargers used 5 0n 4.5" bolt pattern on a front 44 that was full time, no hubs.

A 35 with portals could work. when the reduction is done at the end of the axle the stress on the R&P and axles is reduced a great deal. Example: I have been going to and working on modified Pull Trucks for 20 years and in the modified 4x4 class (800-1100 HP) the common axles to use are 2.5 ton Rockwells and Timkens but one guy went to ford 9"s with the reduction gears on the end if the axles and has had no failures. He gained a nice advantage by removing the heavy axles and moving that weight out in front.

It was all a joke for the love of god!! Hey newbie the warn hub is a fawking waste of money!! and if u ever make a portal 35c your:rainbow: :rainbow: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

What's this I hear??? A factory 44 front with 5 on 4 1/2 wheels??? Oh my God!:eek:

Yeah, those old tough Dodge trucks must be:rainbow: too, right?

You tough guys crack me up.

:) :rolleyes:

woopty fawkin do you stupid shit! The only reason your all feelin spunky is becuase somebody else told you about the old dodge front axle, you didnt even know that dumbaaaass!... :flipoff2: God I hate these freakin newbie fish eatin fawkers. See you around there :rainbow: Pete :rainbow:

Heres a big warm welcome for ya :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Pete is not officially :rainbow: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: newbie what a fag!:mad3:

While the gear reduction of a portal axle would held axle and gear life in a D35C, the extra width and weight would put undue leverage on the housing. D35C housings are marginal from the factory, and bend easily with light wheeling.

But whatever:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Pete can use a portal D35C to back up his 5 on 4.5" D44 front end.:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

I have lost all hope:(

i was reading that guys website that is trying to make the portal 35C's and he says "....any other means of obtaining ground clearance requires a suspension lift which creates a rough, unpleasant ride..." i dont know where he gets his info but my jeep rides exactly if not softer then stock. i guess he has never heard of SOA. what a dumbass

There was a guy on NAXJA about a year ago that was talking about putting rack and pioin on his XJ and sweet that would be, we all tryed to explain why it wouldn't work be he was insistant it was going to happen, I think he bought all the parts and started, then we never heard from him again..:D

Also a suspension lift doesn't do jack sh*t for axle ground clearance... unless you call bigger tires a suspension lift :D

So i found this old post, I had to laugh........... HERE IS TO ALL YOU NEWBIES WHO WANT A PORTAL 35C:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

this should have been a Super Thursday thread. I forgot about this one. Good stuff! :flipoff2:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... I've thought about making my own portals using NP241 planetaries at each wheel. Well, they won't really be portals, but it'll have gear reduction at the wheel. :D

how about a 203 at each corner so you can get the wheel spin you want with f/hi and still creep in r/lo
