74Weld Bronco Portals now available!

[Merc4x4]

Quinn's talked about them getting supported by Jeep (I think starting in September?), so it's in the realm of the possible. Ford is so sclerotic in a lot of ways... Does seem like something Ford Performance should sell eventually, though. A version is on their dang racing Broncos after all!

The V8 swap into the Wrangler/Gladiator get's me more interested in the platform.
Portals, 40's, and V8 Gladiator would be a great overland/recovery rig.

I forgot to take tire width into consideration with my track width calculations. I only found 1 mainstream tire 38" and above in 12.5 width. I think 40 x 12.5 would look and perform great on ET55 wheels with the portals. A bit more tippy, perhaps.

Well, lots and lots of videos of Gladiators on portals on 74 weld's you tube channel. While length can be an advantage it can also work against you..... I like the typical 100 inch rule. It works for me and the locations that I wheel.

I hear you I'm the same way I'm actually very excited and I don't get excited for pretty much anything anymore LOL but I actually had to push back a conference call to come out and meet the driver to unload the truck oh well it'll be there when I get back the worst part is I still never got my heat installed in my pole barn and it's cold right now but it is insulated so I think a few torpedo heaters will take care of me good

Be careful of the carbon monoxide. You’re too close to being in Bronco heaven with those portals to die putting them on lol.

There is a guy on Irate4x4 that is having problems getting them to work w/MT, so I am prepared for this not to be as simple as bolt on! Hoping it's just a gear ratio adjustment that's needed!
