1000 miles on portals - here's the truth so far: The stance is unreal. With +45 mm offset wheels, they sit pertectly—no awkward poke like some long-travel kits. The power hit surprised me. 2300 rpm at 90 mph and the truck pulls harder than stock. Didn't expect that. MPG dropped a bit (~14→12). Not shocking after a 5" lift, +2.75" width per side, and 37" RTs instead of 35" ATs. Portal oil changes every 3-5k mi. First 500 mi service: fronts spotless, rears normal fuzz. 20 min per side. Easy. Crawling power on the trail: This thing is better than stock. You almost don’t need to get any gas at all in 4LO, it just rolls over obstacles Planted feel at high speeds: I thought this thing was going to feel tippy, like it did stick with the GFC installed and again when lifting the truck. This in fact was the opposite, the added weight of the portal boxes down low and the increased width makes this feel feel planted as high speeds on and offroad. It's wild money, but honestly worth it. I've had people tell me they wish they'd skipped all the suspension work and just gone portals. That's exactly what Quinn @74weld has been preaching-keep your OEM suspension, add portals + big tires, and you unlock performance per dollar nothing else can touch. The quick math: 22% gear reduction at the wheel → less strain, more punch (esp. with the hybrid) 3.88" lift from the axle (15" under the diff) → clearance where it matters +2.75" track width per side → planted highway feel More articulation front & rear, no preload tricks Total game-changer. I'll keep sharing the pros/cons as we prep for the Rubicon. Headed to Johnson Valley this weekend to push things to the limit 🤙 Follow the build here: https://www.instagram.com/portal.hunter Find out more about portals here: https://motorsports.74weld.com/product-category/toyota-parts/

Hey everyone! Back with another one. A couple months ago, I went to GFC near Bozeman, Montana.

I was there to get my new camper, and the owner (Graeme) was cool enough to give us a tour of all their manufacturing and install/showroom facilities. He told me this was the most detailed tour they've ever done! These guys are at the forefront of bringing manufacturing potential and jobs back to the US. They've been growing fast since they launched and have made some rad products. If you haven't seen them already, make sure you give this a look.
