This is Gonna Disrupt the Ford Bronco World 

Just buy a Jeep

🤣🤡

💯🤙🏻😎 Still have an LJ, love it😊

Gracias!

The Pro-X video will be coming soon.

@popo_patty , same! Im in for that rear triangulated conversion kit!

I’m running the 74Weld stage 3 with Ford performance tie rods. Working great!

Well worth the wait! Fit and finish is perfect!

I plan on it! Sorry I missed you that weekend. I’ll make sure we’re there and sit around a campfire next time. Beautiful place!

Absolutely love them, and the work!

Huckleberry?

@@Exodus4x4 it’s a black diamond trail at Merus Adventure Park

Oh, I’m not sure what the name of the trail was.

1.22 as a matter of fact. I forgot to mention in the video that we re-geared mine to 4.10 so the final drive ratio would be 5.0, and it’s perfect.

That video is next

Haven’t checked the heat but considering how hard I’ve pushed these things for hours at a time, I haven’t seen a concern

We did heat tests on they about 2 years ago. We did a 6 hr road trip from San Diego through Arizona in the middle of summer when it was 115 degrees outside. The portals hit a max temp of 176. Heat is not been an issue ever

Portals won’t offer you an advantage, imho. Go with a prerunner suspension with E-Click.

Definitely aren’t in everyone’s budget. It takes a lot of money to design and build something to this caliber, and nobody is doing it to break even. As much as we’re all enthusiasts, we also got bills to pay need to make some money. Not to mention for what they are, you’re actually getting a bargain. Nobody even comes close to this. All that being said, yeah it’s still a lot of money.

Ugh, Jeep fanboys say some of the stupidest shit in the comments. Thanks for not breaking ranks.

You are high! First, portal installs on IFS are significantly easier than a solid axle. Second, I personally own a 392 fully built as well as a bronco. The ride quality out of the bronco is so much better it’s not even a fair comparison. So is your comment based on owning both vehicles in both stock and on large tires…because mine is.

@@74weldThanks for sharing your opinion. I've never been concerned about ride quality for an even a part time off road vehicle. Is the tie rod ends breaking been resolved?

Correct, TOO wide

@Exodus4x4 so you've had long travel and now the portals, both seam to solve different rock crawling issues, what is your preference? My gut tells me clearance because I believe broncos are balanced and almost designed to be ok with tires in the air. that being said, I have done very little rock crawling in my badlands bronco.

​@@warrencarter665I'd love to hear the answer to this too.

Negative. I mean, maybe but it would make it stupid wide

BroncBuster doesn’t make a portal, he imports a brand made overseas and sells it. Yes the 74Weld portals are a higher quality and lower priced. Been daily driving the shit out of these portals and haven’t seen a single downside to the stringy cut gear. Zero noise on the highway.

They definitely are not cheap but they’ll never be that cheap.

@@Exodus4x4maybe he meant 10 year old used ones. lol

Let’s break this comment down real quick. A quality wheel bearing for a Ford F350 is about 300 bucks per corner. If you think we can make a 7075 upright, 7 bearings, a 6061 box, 4340 full float shafts, 4 heat treated and post machined gears for 700 bucks…well I don’t know what to tell you

@@74weld Do you guys offer gear reduction in your portals yet?

@@brianphillips8228 yes, they are 1.22

Forever? The proof is in Ultra4. Go check out all the race cars running 74Weld portals. The parts are basically the same.

Well nothing lasts forever. But we do give you a lifetime guarantee on the housings. We give you a 1 year warranty on gears which is 1 year longer than any other gear manufacturer😜

It's the same as humvees in the military. Those gears have never failed. They get abused by E-2's and E-3's severely. So, I think portals will last a long time.

👀

No, sorry

​@Exodus4x4 well kinda can. Nissans rear axles are the same as the rear jeeps axles. So at this time you can do half haha. Now if they build the front then that would be great.

They make that already. Called a Jeep lol

@@Exodus4x4 oh yeah thank God

Mile for mile, the bronco has wheeled more and broke (actually hasn’t broken at all) less than the Jeep. Wheels with heavy built Jeeps too. Guess it’s not about the platform and more about the operator.

Watch Trail mater. Tons of crippled up jeeps broke down in moab getting recovered.

If it’s so crippling why is it dominating in racing 🤷‍♂️. That crippled non long travel 4600 Bronco on our portals has completely dominated its class. It has swept the podium in qualifying and racing for 3 years straight!

Werewolftech portals cost less and they come with the same thing as the 74 welds.

@@SithLordDarthBane not really…they are twice the weight, wider, taller, and when you get them to your door with their recommended wheels you will be 10,000 more than ours. The last quote one of our showed me the warewolf cost 33K shipped to his door with wheels. We would be 21,500 with wheels

I agree they aren't disrupting anything, but how they only a niche product? People love their broncos and this allows the bronco to be more capable. Your logic says the 1 tons are a niche product, yet there are how many companies building 1 tons for $20k+?

@@81selfmade1 off-roading is a niche activity already. The subset of those that off-road who can afford $20k and then another small fortune in required mods is extremely small. Hence niche. I wish I could afford them. But unfortunately it will never happen.

@@TeensierPython according to your logic there is a niche within the niche. Also along your line of thinking owning a home is niche and owning a home with a garage is a niche within a niche.

@@81selfmade1 ok. You’re right.

Yeah I don’t know. It’s not like I’m picking on them either. Maybe Matt just attracts a friendlier audience lol.

Who in the hell makes portals for $6k lol? I’ll save you the trouble, nobody. Not even close.

The oil change interval is pretty high too it’s like every 2800 miles i believe

5k miles. Like an oil change on your engine, should be.

Let’s be honest. If the oil change is a deal breaker you weren’t going to buy it anyways. Remember guys. 20K might be a shit ton of money for you…but it’s well within reach for many…considering how fast our first run of 20 sets sold out, everyone’s concept of “a lot of money” is different.

@@74weld I am not saying it isn't worth it, I am very sure it is absolutely worth it. And I am not saying nobody would buy them. I am sure you will get lots of sales, but I think that youtube definitely gives people a misconception on how many people can actually get a hemi swap or portals. All I am saying is that makes these more of a niche product. An amazing product and i would love to have them, but still a niche.

WUT

Why can't Jeep just design and build the Wrangler for more comfort from the factory?

awe, poor baby

Lol, wild thing to say considering people spend way more replacing parts on Jeeps than they do any other platform available.

@@Exodus4x4 Those are called "upgrades", and yet stock Jeeps are still sturdier than those new POS Broncos

Sounds like a comment from someone who doesn’t own a bronco. What’s interesting is despite hating the Bronco (probably w no first hand knowledge) he is taking time out of his day to watch the video, then taking even more time to talk shit about a platform he doesn’t own and has no first hand experience with. Sounds like a standard keyboard warrior to me

@@74weldYou're right, i don't own a Bronco and even if a got one for free i would sold it inmediatelly, everything is crap in those cars. Regarding portals i had first have experience with an Unimog several years ago, but the suspension design has nothing to do with this new weak system in the Bronco, so failure is inminent. You must know, i saw a video from Matt's off road and in the dunes there was a Bronco with portals (i assume from your company) and it was broken down, maybe it wasn't the portals but it won't move on it's own

@@pcx4545 so then why are you watching and commenting on Bronco videos? For someone that is a hater, you sure do spend a lot of time thinking about them 🤔 That’s sweet you have first hand experience with a unimog portal…and based on your experience with a product from WWII, you are certain that nobody will ever be able to make a portal work…this sounds like a solid argument. So you saw a jefe’s bronco stopped, assumed it was broken down, then assumed it may be a part that we made. I actually know what you are talking about. Jefe hit a rock unbelievable hard with the front tire. It hit so hard he couldnt believe he didn’t break the steering rack. This is why he was out of the vehicle. So, while you insinuated it might be a broken part, it was him stopping and being perplexed how he could hit something so hard and not damage his steering. Why did he not hurt the steering you ask??? Because he recently upgraded to the 74Weld Stage 3 steering rack 🤯 So again I ask, if you are such a hater, what are you doing consuming all this Bronco content? Sounds like you are a closet fan. And that’s ok if you are. I am a Jeep fan, I’m also a Bronco fan, shit I’m a big Tacoma fan. It’s ok to like more that one vehicle😜
