Hello all! 

I'm curious, has anyone seen or heard of anybody else fabricate a way to install ATV Portals to an old Subie? https://www.superatv.com/utv-portal-gear-lift does them for all types of side by sides. 3 gear so they do not run backwards, and housings machined from aluminum to reduce their weight.

Nope.  

You’d buy the parts and fabricate your donkey off.  

Id just buy a unimog

Did you look at the price before you posted? For 3-4 grand you could pay some one to do a ej22 swap and a 4+ inch lift with big tires. Maybe even a dual range.

 

I could see that being a fun project.

seen this?

Yea, the ATV ones (which are lighter and have a much larger customer base) are several thousand. A small run of heavier duty ones are probably going to be more like $5k. You could be a real offroader for that.

There was a video floating around of an EA81 hatch with tracks on it years ago. I assume they were purchased for a 6-lug truck and bolted onto the Subaru for laughs. Those are more like $20k for a set.

A set of portals will be harder on the suspension than a lift, and you already bend struts with lifts. Side by sides have way better suspension setups that a EA82.
