you look at those portal axles on the series rover? i just thought it was an interesting idea, and it said where the axles come from and i have never seen anyone else use them on a project besides rock buggies. and i like his rover, the aluminum body panels offer unmatched rust resistance. only thing that comes close might be a Delorean. i don't know of any other civ. vehicles that wont rust.

 

So buy one then :fish:, quit jamming this B2 thread up with rover portal talk :blah: Start your own "I can't afford the portals are so cool aluminer is the bestest ever" thread!

 

thought it was interesting thought i'd share. sorry to waste your time. i didnt think it would bother anyone, sorry if it did. does it matter what vehicle they are mounted on? axles are axles, and ideas are ideas.

 

Take it to the axle tech section then, this is the dude's build thread and I'm 99.9999% sure he's not going to use portal axles, something about "cheap" and "portals" not going together:sonicjay:

Got the doubler installed

Built a new trans crossmember, doubler installed, rear driveshaft. Still need to build a front driveshaft however and fix the floor in the b2 after getting the new shifters installed.

:woot:

 

Sweet looking :rock:

 

that's my old B2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you get that from ranger306 on the rangerstation?
give it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

actually it was bought from a member here which was parked in a field for awhile, its an 85 that was a 2.8L 5spd. Its another members truck here on GL, its just parked at my house. Soon to be full width with a 105" wheelbase. So whats the story behind it? We aquired it with no drivetrain, just a shell.

Small World

 

i bought it from some mexicn in town. it's from CA. had a 2.8 and a toyo kogyo 5speed, that i still have! i had a 4 inch lift, 2.9 and a a4ld in it when i sold it. and we just choped the top. i miss it soo much

 

its now geting a A4LD, 2.9L 1354M yeah it is really rust free, we were surprised when we gutted the interior

 

as you can see from the pic it doesn't appear to have the lift anymore. We are taking the body off the frame this weekend to commence the susp set-up and build.

 

keep me informed where this thing is! it was my first 4x4 and i wish i could have kept it!

 

it should be rust free. it sat like this for the 2-3 years i had it.

not trying to be a pic whore

 

tried the doubler out yesterday, nothing like climbing obstacles in a stick and never having to give throttle assistance while doing so. Need to make some shifter adjustments and body adjustments, the doubler hits a certain spot on my floor and make an incredible irrating noise.

 

Pics ? oke:

 

At Idle with no throttle assistance and in 1st Gear, it would have kept climbing till i flipped over had i not pushed the clutch in.

 

thats pretty cool

 

i'll get video tomorrow of it on the rocks

 

 

:rock:

 

Nice ! :woot:

 

Can't wait to see it in action today!

 

it works lol

 

only problem i had was when the doubler is in hi range it seems to pop out and grind. I think i have a linkage problem cause when i pull the linkage off it works better most of the time. But it still occasionally pops from gear.

 

 

:woot:
