    Over the past few days, I have been lookin into what portal axles are and all I can do is drool. I was originally unaware something like this even existed and the more I see the more I want haha.

    What would be yall's thoughts on trying an ifs portal setup, like military Hummers, on an XK?

    Would it be easier than a SAS or solid portal swap, due to the fact you don't have to worry about uptravel issues with the diff, and creating a whole 4-link system?

    From what I gather, it would require either a custom setup (UCA's, LCA's, tie rods) to mount to the hummer knuckles, or would need a way to connect a portal box to the existing XK knuckles.

    Here's a pic of the different hummer ifs portals and a hilux with ifs portals:
