Would this work?

If you over fill the 3rd member and reverse the portals could you keep the rotation the same?

how do you expect to 'reverse the portals'?:confused:

Not to sure i saw this picture and scratched my head, the rear axle is a stock 404 axle. How do you put a front 404 in the back for rear steer?

Just put a front housing in the rear... switching the portal boxes means swaping them from pass to driver and vise versa when you put a steer axle in the rear. The swap is because the gears are supposedly directional.

You do this by removing the portal boxes and then changing out the axle shafts and then putting them back in on the opposite sides - alot of work!

I am doing it... so we shall see. I just flipped the housings over, so the flat is on the top. The knuckles were flipped 180* also, for obvious reasons. Any issues that present themselves would be due to daily driving or something super heavy. The gears look non-directional to me, and even if you are on some sort of "coast side" of anything, then the bearings/support/size will never allow enough deflection to matter. I am running a 1.5 seater (2yr old son and I) with a 2.7 Tacoma motor on 20psi, Powerglide, and a D300. I'll post up... I am a few weeks out from bending.

if its so you can run reer steer why are you botherring with all that work
all you need to do is remove the steering nuckle (take the front portal box off and use as a spare) then remove the rear portal box and the cast spacer
(because the front and rear center housing are the same) then bolt the nuckle in its place and fit the shafts and then refit the rear portal box (ok you might need to press off the gear off the rear shaft and refit on the front one) and jobs done

It is for the front of my buggy it has a pass side drop

so after you flipped the housing and rotated the portals 180* it spun the right way?

Kind of on the same subject lines I've been wondering why nobody is making a fabricated 404 housing similar to the 9" you could center the rear 3rd and offset the front to whatever side you wish, and still using the mog 3rd would keep costs low compared to going mog-9.... what do you guys think?:)

my bad yes we have the same prob in blighty with the landy owner that want to run mogs
theres a couple of companys that cut the housing to do the swap but you have to buy a longer splined shaft
are you spinning the third member so the locker is still on top

Yea I've seen em done like that before I was just thinking for the guys who want a pass. drop, I geuss you could still make one...

I am doing a rear engine buggy, so you flip the thirds or the whole axle in our case. The rotation will be correct.
