[QUOTE="sleepsontoilet, post: 672141, member: 7650"] I've always struggled staying on the right line, on the right side of Smokin Butthole at K2. Alex's Toyota was stupid wide and could walk it, whereas I was narrower and would fall into the notch causing a flop. You almost have to back out and move over to regroup, with this I can bump the rear into the rock face and force it to stay on the line now. Also on trails like Cracked Core or Bent120 at K2, I can make the hard front dig way easier. I'm pretty sure it'll hurt more than help until I get used to it, but I think it'll make me push the limits a lot more than I did with the last buggy. So far Cracked Core is the only one I had to winch on at K2, so the plan is straight off the trailer make it or roll trying. I made the hard left cut at the top, but fell into the notch making it want to roll. We had to hold it and put multiple winches to "make" the trail. As far as price on portals, I mildly disagree. They aren't much more in comparison to any other BUILT axle. The reduction gives them strength comparative to some of the bigger bling axles. I paid $1125 for the built 3rd with grizzly locker, that's really not much more than the price for a grizzly locker, gears, home, and install for a regular housing. I paid $550 for the Trail Gear 9" housing, which isn't much more than most pay for junkyard 60s. I paid $2250 per axle for the portals, Cs, and RCV outers which is about the same for any aftermarket C/Knuckle/RCV. The inners from Branik are around $365 a piece, about the same as most 300m inners. The willwood calipers and Spidertrax rotors werent much mkre than anyone pays for upgraded brakes. I wanted an axle that would hold, but also has limitless upgrades. The 9" has a lot more upgrades available if needed than the 14bolt has.
