[YNOT]

Good to see you on here.
I followed your build up on the other forum, and like a lot of others, I wish I could afford a set of portals like that.
To save me checking back on the other forum, is that a Millweld bar?

Tony

[Woof]

Very nice Pat

[portal pat]

Yes it is. A Millweld Commercial bar, mate.

Those Portals look great mate, Got to say the front bar is tidy as too. Wonder what it would look like on the front of a GU IV??

[Rossco]

Nice looking truck Pat.
Is it a TD42? Also what are the portals, are they unimog?

He seems to have a good reputation this Mark bloke, must do a good job over there!

It was a big build and I would not have entrusted it to anyone else.

Check him out here under vendors thread.....

Mate he is a one stop shop & everything he sells works & his back support is tops. He's not always the cheapest but nether is he's products. its all top notch gear.
I would recommend him to anyone.

Cheers

[patch697]

Pat that is one nice build mate....Keep them pics coming.

Cheers

[portal pat]

OK Couple more. This is the gear reduction inside the portal box.
http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae100/slowzuki/PICT3326.jpg

[portal pat]

And with bigger bearings in situ, just waiting for cover plate.
http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae100/slowzuki/PICT3328.jpg

[MudRunnerTD]

That is interesting?? that is the first time i have seen inside a portal, thanks for that. It looks like they change your gearing slightly?? is that so?

Got to ask also.. Did you fit these when the car was new or did you just respray the diff housing and seriously detail the car before the pics?? bloody clean mate. Looks great.

[portal pat]

The original assemblies fabricated by Mark were 1.4:1, designed with the comps. boys in mind. There is now the option of 1.22:1, which I have. This reduction strengthens the axles, CVs etc. by 20%.The cleanliness is a measure of the care taken by the boys at Mark's. The truck was delivered with 170,000 km on the clock but detailed from caryard.

[MudRunnerTD]

what kind of revs are you pulling at 100kms/h? is that ratio 20% taller than standard?

I didn't realise that they had a ratio alteration built into them as well, i thought they were all about clearance only.

Nice bit of Kit though.

[NickBGU4]

That's a great looking rig Pat. Those portal axel setups are fantastic ( I am so jealous...lol). I would love to see a few more photo's.

[portal pat]

what kind of revs are you pulling at 100kms/h? is that ratio 20% taller than standard?
.
My RPM with 315/75x16s is 70 revs. higher than standard. Hub ratio is 1.22:1 as against 1:1 standard, so 20% lower.

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae100/slowzuki/PICT3343.jpg
Just checked whilst out driving--2100RPM @ 80 kph and 2600RPM @ 100 kph.

[SteeevO]

Thats a Really Really Nice Truck!
I've read about those portal boxes on marks website.
I can't wait till we're allowed to import patrols to the states.

[Danny]

Why arn't you allowed to import them over there?

[portal pat]

That's a great looking rig Pat. I would love to see a few more photo's.

[Mark]

Mate, I love your rig.

It's like mine but yours is on steriods....love it!!!!!!!!

Inspiring ++++

[MudRunnerTD]

I want the name of the detailer!!! damn that is a clean truck!! looks like it has 100kms on it straight off the boat.. The underside is nuts mate!

your revs are nearly identical to mine running 35s with 4.6s.

Love the wheels mate, where did you get them? how much were they? what offset are they? are they steel or alloy?

Nice Rig.

Cheers MudRunner

Cheers MudRunner[/QUOTE]
They are modified by Mark's 4WD and are 16x8. Custom made positive offset to gain some reduced track with the portal assemblies. $250.00 ea. using my rims. They are powder coated as well.

[portal pat]

Just sailed over to Shepparton 4WD this weekend to collect our Trayon camper. Back in Tassie now. About to start living the dream!

Yesmate. www.trayon.com

[Mark]

Cheers Pat, I was thinking of getting one for my ute.

Is your's going to be permanently on the tray or just chuck it on when needed.

Do you need a forklift to get it on and off?

[portal pat]

If you look closely, you will see a bracket on each corner. Wind down legs fit in here, and allow you to leave the camper freestanding and simply drive out from under it. It's brilliant.

[Mark]

Brilliant!!!

Only reason is ask is my mate made one to put on his rodeo and it has to be forked on.

He has a 5 tonne excavator he uses but its a nightmare.

wind down legs, ripper idea!

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey Portal Pat, that is one sweet ride mate, you are going to have a bloody great trip to anywhere you want to go in that mate!! what a rig!

[portal pat]

Thanks Mudrunner. Yeah, nearly there. When building it the desired outcome was to end up with a "hardcore tourer". Pretty sure we achieved that! More HIDs, an undertray slide out gearbox, window tinting, roofrack...........shit, it never ends ,does it? LOL.

[portal pat]

Bought another pair of HIDs, spotties this time to compliment the existing spread beams. Windows tinted and windscreen antiglare strip and Thule roofbars fitted ready for a custom alloy rack. A roofrack might seem superfluous on a flattray, but not when the camper is fitted. Got a sheetmetal worker fabricating an undertray slideout draw as well.

[starck]

Hello Portal Pad.
Please, tell us how it works with those portals on black?
I guess couldn't be better solution in terrain but I use mine as every-day vehicle.
Thus I wonder if those portals allow ordinary driving. How fast man could drive? and for how long time? I know that Laplander portals ?(we have them up here) are easy to overheat. Is that hazardous with Mark's PORTALS too?
Best regards from Poland.
Rafael

[portal pat]

Hello Starck,
My truck is also driven every day. There are no issues whatsoever with Mark's 4WD portal diffs. The vehicle is fully road legal and engineered. Speed is also not a problem. I have read elsewhere that early Unimog diffs. ( and Maybe Volvo 303s as well) overheated on long runs. My portals get no hotter than any other part of the axle assembly. If you wish to learn more, go to www. marks 4wdadaptors.com.au In Europe, Outback Imports in France are agents. Oh, by the way, portal diffs kick arse!!! LOL.

[starck]

Oh Yes!!! I believe You have to look in the back mirrow quite often when You do off-road trip with other cars. :driving2:
Here I add pics of those portals as they come to EU. To OUTBACK actually.

[KINGRAT502]

Been some time since I was on here. Truck continues to evolve. Old OME coils and shockies were past their use by date so went with Suspension Stuff Ultraflexy coils and Dobinsons shocks. what a transformation.

Already had an incident with it. Winch extension strap broke under strain, simply fell to ground and absorbed whip in rope. Brilliant.

Good to hear, a lot less accidents if more used rope instead of wire, but prices not too bad now

like it mate! are you bringing it over for the october meetup? it looks like a weapon hey!!!

[MALS-GU]

do you find them noisy @110klm? yours are 1.22:1 correct? Marks 1.4:1 ratio would definitely be noisier, id assume 1.4:1 more suited to offroad only rigs? Dynatrac have Portals they are 1.5:1 and they don't recommend them for Highway use at all!

[portal pat]

Yes, my portal ratio is 1.22:1. No, they are not noisy-despite being straight cut gears. 1.4:1 was originally designed for comp. rigs. Current production ratio is 1:16:1 which equates exactly to original gearing on original tyres, but allowing for 35s on portals.

good to know on the 1.16:1 looks like they have been making continual advancements , although not really nescesary with the Allison 6Spd O/Drive 0.61 Ratio on the Box i will be using, (i may need to change to a higher numerical diff ratio?). Anyway I'm seeing Marks4x4 tomorrow to check out 3 rigs he has there, 1 patrol has portals, one patrol has portals and LS2 V8, another has the Duramax V8 with Allison 6Spd on Std Axels. I'm seriously considering the Duramax/Allison for my build, hopefully getting a test drive:)

Welcome Back
Mean looking Truck

Mate that is a great looking truck.

Looking good Pat, how do you like the tyres mate?

Mate, I love them. I took 35" Claws off to fit these and they are superior. Their grip on wet bitumen is amazing, in snow and mud just sensational. In sand-yes well keep your foot out of it lol. Very noisy but if that bothers you buy an SUV or something.

@AB, any chance of getting these images converted so they are visible?

I have spoken with Pat this afternoon and he says there are 80 pages of his build on Patrol4x4.com so maybe this is easier. he can't remember his PB details either. happy to see the shots on this website if it doesn't take a lot of effort Andy. thanks

It would be the same issue over there too if he used PB to upload the photos.

Bugger, these will have to do then. I was under the impression he had a GQ, but obviously not. He filled me in with a heap of details and answered all the questions I asked - great guy, really helpful. Reckons its a mod worth doing, just a hard to swallow cost.

[gubigfish]

I'd love to know where he got his tray done, is he still on here?

[AB]

It's a pretty sexy looking gu! Hopefully he sees this mate.

You can also use the photo bucket extension on google chrome which will allow you to see all embedded pics.

Similar to lots of modern slide-ons.

Like mine from www.decamper.com.au which has been the best!
