Portals, so much clearance until you need to get it into the garage :sneaky:
You just have to oil down the portals. All HMMV owners already know this.
Just let some of it out.
That's why they have easy to access drain/fill plugs!
Makes it the same overall height as a stock non-Sas OBX.

I saved the too tall for the garage issue by installing my portals upside down. Bam! Fits every time!

Logic dictates you'd go underground with upside-down portals. Not a big deal! Just gotta budget for some sweet lights so you can see ok down there. Might up the budget a few thousand. Man, you guys really have some cool rides! 🤩

Well to be fair the whole 90's low rider scene is heating back up so you are right on-trend there.

This is the funniest thread this year!

I always knew @SierraBronco was the Damn Portal Jesus, but when I saw recent carnage I wondered if he was thinking. " JESUS , Damn Portals"
instead...

Is it still wrong if I’m saying my own name in vain?

We did have fun with that repair though. AND I got to drive wifey’s bronco offroad. There wasn’t enough room for his camping stuff and the new upright wouldn’t be showing up until the morning, so he hiked to camp with me, we unloaded our bronco, swapped our steering rack as a preventive measure since it threw some codes and was making a clicking noise, then I drove back up to the broken hugsy bronco to get all his gear while wifey set up camp and took care of the dogs.

The hardest part of the repair was getting the tire back on. We had to do some…creative…things with our bottle jack to make it happen.

I can pump up a bottle jack with the normalest of them. Just don’t ask me to find a flat rock that won’t crack under pressure.

Just thought I would mention... I got a bottle jack that has all kinds of extensions. So far I am impressed. May turn out to be crap but it seems pretty well built. It packs away in a really small nice little bag. Made in China but what isn't anymore... Just somethin to think about.

Same company sells a mini little traction board for a stand.... and I am looking at their "folding" traction boards.

I just needed the extra height for when all I can find is broken rocks that you left behind.

This little bottle jack is a beast. Lifted a container like nothing that we couldn't get up with 2 4-ton high lifts.

Got a chance to check this out. Pretty sweet!

Can it be stored sideways?
