    @chris4x4 the Dynatrac website was upfront not only about the benefits of portal axles but the challenges for a successful installation. Plus the price for a pair of the portal axles without installation could exceed the cost of a good used running JK.....LOL

    I though it was pretty cool that you can just get the Portal wheel ends for many already exhisting axles out there. "The portal wheel ends are currently available for king pin steering knuckles and full floating rear Dana 60, Dana 70, and AAM 14-Bolt applications."
