Toyota Tacoma Portal Axle Talk with 74 Weld 

I make close to $200k a year and I can’t stomach $20k in a single component. Maybe $10k but if I am going to spend the money I would rather regear the truck then add the supercharge, I would still have a little under $10k to spend on more upgrades. $20k is way over priced! ** I rather go long travel than portals it’s about $20k for long travel and you get a way more comfortable ride.

Adding that kind of money on an already bad investment is insane

It’s really just a matter of where your priorities are. You have to remember, you can’t drive a house, but you can sleep in a car!!😂

You can build your vehicle with gears, lockers, and most other things you want, as well as buy tires and still have money left over for a burger 🍔

​@@mikeseda6350 calling Toyotas a bad investment is wild

We’ve been making portals since 2011. We plan to expand this line to lots of other applications in the future. We will be here when you are ready

@@74weld since you did the Bronco, would you guys do kits for the Ranger(2019-2023)?

Thank you for watching!

20k is a lot no matter how you look at it, but it does way more than just add clearance for tires, or clearance under the axle. Its a whole systemic improvement of the vehicle, including the potential for more wheel travel. But nothing will change that 20k is a lot...

portals give you more height,, not more travel..less travel.. for the price,,, not worth it.. you can buy a whole unimog. for 15k..

17” inch wheels

we add roughly 30lbs a corner.

You still need a bit of a lift with it but it will add on so it’s not recommended to go super crazy with it

portal oil.. why not use trans fluid.. synthetic is garbage. engine oil needs changing every 4k ish.. not changing oil in portals that often...@@tacomabeast

Mpg stayed the same with the bigger tires so that was pretty good, driving feels crazy being so high off the ground 😂

You going to stay with the 5.29's gears (Final drive 6.45) or drop to 4.88 gears ( Final drive 5.95)?@@tacomabeast

We’ve got a couple of builds for the second gen’s you can check out on IG 🤙 we’ve also got a second gen video coming out soon 👀

Yes. Next year

Yes

Nope this is just for Tacomas

These already have a re gearing on them so you might not need to do a second re gearing unless you’re going for really big tires

@@tacomabeast thanks for the response. Still learning and trying to understand how portals work, also have been watching all the videos 74 weld has put out and gears are something I know nothing about so I apologize for all the questions. So you add gears to be able to run bigger tires more efficiently, Quinn said that the portals make the transmission think there’s no change basically. Thinking of them as a gear box, I get a 3.91 gear in my stock Tacoma adding the portals I now get a 4.77 gear ratio basically then correct? I think that was what Quinn was saying. I originally wanted to do a 4.88 or 5.29 but I guess in reality there’s no need if I get a 4.77 with the portals. For me it’s a daily driver and weekend toy for now.

Nope, it included 4 portals, upgraded front Rotor/caliper and rear rotor conversion.

@@tacomabeast can I ask about what a customer can expect to pay in labor?

The rear would still need to be re-geared. I think it’s worth it if you have a built LT rear on floating axles with disc brakes. If you have LT up front, I think it’s worth it to have portals in the back if you don’t have it built there. Speaking from experience, my issue has been my diff getting hung up in the rear.

We have them in the works

17

I haven't seen it installed on an FJ yet but it's compatible

@@stay_in_adventure I want them on my FJ! it's a 2008 model

This would work with a 4cyl, not sure what the stats would be for the 4Runner or if 74weld is developing one for that model but you can reach out to them on IG with questions 🤙

Two great options and different price ranges. Make sure you add the re gearing cost on the long travel kit tho

Dirtking makes great stuff but this is just a different way to lift. Better ride, disc conversion for the rear, regear, full float conversion with 4340 shafts, bigger rotors and brakes front and rear. At the end of the day a LT to a portal is apples to oranges. We sell ride quality and ground clearance. The other guys sell you a lift.

*from total choas. fixed there for ya!

We have lots of things for Tundras at yotaforce.com

Ok 👍
