Ive got pics and video of us riding in the water earlier in the day, but not of when the portal broke. I broke the passenger front, and drivers rear in a mudhole earlier in the day, got winched out, kept riding. A buddy of mine got high centered on a muddy trail so I ease in behind him and take my snatch rope off the back and put it from my front bumper to his rear bumper, gave it a few light bumps and pop, there goes the drivers front axle. Now I only got the passenger rear. Without the other 3 axles all the passenger rear wanted to do was spin and not move the machine, so I had someone start winching me backwards, i was standing outside my P5 as it was being winched backwards and the drivers front wheel started turning out to the side, I went to straighten the steering wheel and realized it wasnt the steering wheel that needed to be straightened, it was the portal hub output shaft that broke clean off. From the looks of the twisted splines sticking out of the bottom of them box, it was when I was in reverse trying to tug my friend out. I guess the tire came to a stop, but the portal hub wanted to keep going because of the gear reduction in the box and it wrung it off. Im sure it was weakened though from previous riding. I had to unbolt my brake caliper to let it turn loose of the rotor so I could throw the wheel and tire in the bed. They winched me back into a clearing where my buddy backed his little P5 up to the front of mine and with the help of a few people we made the front of mine light enough to where we could strap it to the rear rack of his P5. He towed me back to the truck and trailer while I set in the passenger seat to put weight on the passenger side and make the drivers side light. It was a sight to see. Lol
I hope you have video
