That’s a perceptive question. This was in the context of a bespoke system however it may well have been a function of engineering compromises analogous to those manufacturers.

From Wikipedia:
“The rear axle with the wheel-sided countershafts corresponds to that of the VW Type 82 "Kübelwagen".”

From the site https://dewiki.de/Lexikon/Portalachse:
“The first generation of the VW Transporter produced from 1950 to 1967 also had a portal axle with reduction gears, which was also used for other types. They provided a somewhat higher ground clearance and the reduction that was advantageous with the weak engine of the early Transporters, so that a Beetle gearbox - standard except for the differential basket with ring gear installed the other way around - could be used.[1]”
Just announced by manufacturer yesterday.

I am sure we will see some Quartermaster Diesels with portal axles in Australia before long.
On measly 35s
See the interview with Lyn Calder in the Smoking Tire thread in the latter part of the video after they finish complaining about ADAS!

This is a LeTech Portal Axle build (offered by INEOS). On the Abenteuer & Allrad show 2024, Daniel Kriso from LeTech told me the price: 190''000 Euros.
... this thing IS an aftermarket solution. From LeTech, offered and marketed by INEOS.
Emax, was it you that first posted the Letech prototype portal axle vehicle a couple of years ago????
Seems so long agoYes, that was me.
Somebody had to be the first.
With the portal axles the larger tyres will go very well but people will have to accept the higher maintenance and noise that will go with such a combination and the brakes would have to be improved to handle the larger tyres. Personally, I would want the larger ZF 8HP transmission from the diesel version or the higher rated 8HP from something like a Hell Cat and you would have a pretty bullet proof drive train. I think the Tremec t/case would have no troubles handling the extra driveline mods, it would just need more servicing. If the money was there, I would void the Ineos warranty to do those mods to a Quartermaster.
