Don't know if I'll be first, but yes defiantly doing this. With 32". Rebuild this winter will be great parts piling up already.

Yeah the cost of these things are crazy my biggest question do they make 3000 dollars worth of difference in performance and how well do they hold up
Can’t really put a price on awesome just ask @Bastardchild

Ha ha yeah that’s true but can put a limit on a bank account
I love mine! I cant really speak about how they hold up though. Ive only got a few easy rides on them. Ride Royal Blue will probably be a pretty good test for them to see how they hold up and perform. Im sure the obsticles i come across up there will be way worse than any trail i come across down here in Florida. Yeah $3293.00 was a hard pill to swallow. I thought about all the other stuff i could be doing with that money instead of buying 700 portal hubs that 'might' fit on a P5. I dont regret my decision at all as of right now though. We mainly hit the mudholes and it seems like its the perfect upgrade for the riding we do. They brought my P5 to the next level for what we do.

Yeah I’m in south Mississippi mud all I’m worried about and running up down highway some
What kinda ratio are they and do they offer different ratios?I love mine! I cant really speak about how they hold up though. Ive only got a few easy rides on them.

The machinist that builds them told me they are roughly a 32% reduction. I dont think they offer different ratios. The 4" portals may have a different ratio than the 6" but im not sure.
The machinist says always use the marine lube. I got it at walmart. I think its like 85w140 if i remember right. He didnt give me a schedule for changing the oil in them. I figured i would do a few rides on them and then flush them. Then probably make it when i change the engine oil, change the portal hub oil too. They have a drain hole at the bottom, and a fill hole on the side, and its a small fill hole and a pain to fill with that thick lube. Im thinking of seeing if i can adapt my boat engine foot oil filler thing to fill these portals. You fill the foot of a boat engine from the drain hole at the bottom. Its like a plunger thing that pumps oil in from the bottom drain hole and fills the foot up to the higher hole. Then you put the plug in up top, add just a touch more, and hurry and unplug the filler thing from the bottom and put the bottom plug in. I think im gonna try to adapt that filler thing to the portals next time i change the oil in them.

Does your portals have vents in them I know some don’t seems like they would need a vent
