We know a thing or two, because we have seen a thing or two! Lol it is a bit corny but so true. Over the last 5-6 years we have dedicated ourselves to all things portals and we wanted to take some time and talk about why we got into portals, slikrok's path, progression of parts and portals over the years, what to expect with portals and most of all why we love them! Hope you enjoy and hit us up with any questions.

Putting portals on my ranger was the difference between me keeping it or selling it. The stability from adding portals made my ranger much safer to take my family out riding in.

Love to chat with you guys about portals and how they work on krxs. Building a fleet of krx4s to add to our big rock touring fleet of two seat krxs here in Moab. It's a big investment so might as well learn from the portal gurus. Thanks.

I have a 2012 Polaris Ranger 800 6x6 that we use a fair bit for search and rescue work. I want to raise it up a few inches to get through mud better and drive threw some creeks without getting wet in the cab. what would you recommend for our situation? Should I run portals with the 26" ITP Tires? Should I change my A arms to get more clearance? Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Ive had mavericks in the past but I recently ordered a new commander xtp max. My type of riding is like wind rock to give you an idea. Looking to install 4” portals. Would you recommend 15% reduction with 32’s or 30% and 35’s? Also should I wait until superatv comes out with some adjustable control arms?

What are yall running for steering stabilizer or racks for your RZRS. I'm working on my second portaled utv and it's a 2022 polaris rzr highlifter 2 seater? I'm very concerned about the weak racks in the rzr. I'm wanting to use a sandcraft steering stabilizer right out the gate before I even ride it. I purchased it Saturday. Thanks for any information!!

Probably a dumb question, but asking anyways. I've got a 2016 RZR 900S. Looking to put portals on it, but curious how that works being that the S back then was the "wider version". Do I need a special kit or will a portal kit for a normal 900 bolt right up?

Got a 2023 Talon 1000R just put on a set of 20” fuel sledges wearing 35” teraches. Really looking at upgrading the suspension and adding 4” portals at a 30” reduction. I always hear about the lower failure rate in the portals. If this is so whats your opinion on cast vs billet in realms of confidence? Seems loke its if you got the budget go billet, otherwise the cast are still a solid choice! Would love to hear syour thoughts!!!

I have a 2017 RZR 1000. I have a set of 40" intimidators I have never put on it. I am considering 6" 60% portals, but its a two seater, Do you think I'm going to be tippy with that short of vehicle? I have a shop, thinking about stretching it out some. What are your thoughts on modifying a two seat rzr for portals, what and how would you do it ? I rock and trail ride, stay out of all the much I can.
@SlikRokProductions
@SlikRokProductions 2 года назад
On a 2 seater I would say it would say the center of gravity would be quite high and have a tippy feeling. Going longer and wider will help!

And what else would u recommend i get as well i ride with my family and im trying to be reliable planning on running 35's on a 15 inch wheel
@SlikRokProductions
@SlikRokProductions Год назад
So no doubt that dual idler is a stronger option but that comes down to budget. We have ran many many sets of gen 3 single idlers with 1,000’s of miles and no issues. So we highly recommend that you build your machine around the portals. Which means upgrading all the suspension, ball joints and tie rods. The 35” tire will be a good size. Let me know if you would like part recommendations

Hello, I just bought a can am X3 4 seater that has gen 3 4” portals with 37” tires. All a arms and trailing arms are upgraded aftermarket. Suspension is shock therapy. A “naysayer” who is an expert in UTVs insists I remove the portals and go back to 35” tires. Says the bump steer will break my thumbs. I’m a mountain and desert trail rider. I love speed but don’t care much to fly with my rigs. Are these portals safe to ride fast and hard? Again. I’m not racing. Appreciate your feedback. Great video.

@SlikRokProductions
@SlikRokProductions Год назад
Hello I would recommend you go with the 4” portal and 30% reduction that way you have the option to run a bigger tire if you would like. I would also recommend removing the 3” lift when you put the portals on. We do not mess with our clutches on our portaled rigs. Belts we really like GBoost worlds best belts.
