I asked Quinn about this also. Stock Sasquatch rim works, and thats what I am going to use

That's great! That just brings it closer, since I don't have to have new rims to use them.

I was looking at the same rims. One of the guides at Merus in Amarillo had them on his 4Runner. I like the innerlock tech.

I run mine at 7-8psi

@Bmadda Question on the regear: What this means is that, instead of needing to get a new axel with lower gearing (higher number? ), the gearing on the portal regear lower at the wheel?

Want to make sure I understand what regear means in this context.

Isn't' that like $400k and impossible to get?

You are thinking of the Bronco DR. It has the V-8.

I believe what @Lcubed was referring to would be the Bronco version of the F-150 Raptor "R" model. That is a V-8 in a Raptor.

The Bronco R would then be the rock version of a Bronco.

The portals have a 1.22 gear reduction.

You cannot put anything lower than 4.70 gears in M210 (the case is not big enough). They made the Ultimate44 FDU so you can put lower gears in a 210. The case has added room and thicker(stronger) and the spline count is more. Other than that they are both the same. The internals from an M210 will fit into the Ultimate44.

The portals (74Welds...other brands may be different) turn 1.22/1. What this means it it compounds the axle ratio by 22%...ie a 4.70 gear becomes effectively a 5.73. In my case that's about perfect for what I want...by way of comparison a 5.38 becomes 6.56...that's about the same as a Rockwell, and beyond what I would consider for street use. Quinn chose this ratio based on the fact that he assumed most users would choose a 22% larger diameter tire, so 35 stock becomes 42-43...however for better streetability I plan to downsize to 40s (geez...DOWNSIZING to 40s? What a time to be alive!)

Oh right. Does Ford even sell that thing?

No kidding! I would like 40's ("foties"), but I wonder if the 2.3 could spin those well enough. Definitely couldn't get them in my garage (after the 3.8/3.5 lift I got maybe 2.5", hard to measure). So probably looking at 37's when I can afford them. But maybe the regear brings 39's into the 2.3 repertoire?

lets see rack / axles / portals / 40s = mini monster truck

All for less than a Braptor. (depending on how much you had to drop for the Bronc).

Wasn't Big Foot originally on 42's? Or were they 47's?

The DR??? Yes but you had to have a competitors license. In other words you had to be a racer. Not sold to the general pop, and not street legal.

Oh sorry, meant the R.

Oh ok. Yeah not the Bronco R (just a pipe dream) but they do sell the F-150 Raptor R. Most ADM's are in the 200K range.
