Portal Axles

The Ineos factory (experimental?) portal axle version will be in Vail, CO. Check with REd Noland, the Colorado dealer for details on timing.

Not sure what year it would come out. It may end up being a dealer installed option, so it may be able to be post added to MY24.

What do people think on:
-Height added? 2, 4, 6 inches? Is 100mm standard?
-What installed cost? I don’t see it as a factory option for the G-wagon? After market seem $15-30k?

I think the IG could use a bit more height to it- but it would make it a dedicated non-garage car, and limit it even in a lot of parking. Portals are what, an order of magnitude more expensive than a lift? Definately more capable- and it seems that a lift on an IG is iffy- maybe more because of the installer than the actual engineering- but if Ineos isn’t going to warranty a lifted IG for axle damage, a manufactuer portal starts to look a lot better, especially if it is closer to $15k. 10k would make it a lot easier to swallow.

Interesting.

I signed up for a interest group they had back on their webpage regarding the limited runs but it also mentioned the portals. One thing I remember from my 4x4 squared was they do require oil changes depending on how often you change your oil but I had to do them every 10 or 12k.... Needless I didn't keep that one long because I made money off of it in the resale. lol But I would love the IG to have portals. I would like to see with portals at least 4" nothing less just because of the costs.
