      As soon as we get one in the shop we will design a rear gusset. That being said, with the bigger studs and beefy axle flange on the 200 it is not much of an issue and most will not need one. Good peace of mind though and doesn’t cost much...

      Thanks but I can’t take the credit for these. I own Dissent offroad and these portals are made by 74Weld We have been running their portals on our own rigs for a good while now and absolutely love them. We also install a lot of them on...

      Thank you! Honestly not a huge noticeable difference in power thanks to the 22% gear reduction from the portals. Fuel mileage is setting around 12-13 freeway and 13-14 in town.

      74weld shared some more photos with me. Just needs some Dissent bumpers and it would be perfect 😉

      The correct ratio is always best. Lower is not always better. The 22% is perfect for a 37/38” tire. That is a good question. On the new gen stuff they typically provide rotors and factory calipers are retained. I do know they are working...

      I will certainly research it when it is go time. If the standard 5x150 wheel is not available in the offset required, then I understand the decision to go to something else.

      Looking forward to seeing what they do, given how nice these parts appear.

      The 22% reduction is perfect in my opinion. Anything more and you would have to run a 38 or 40” tire to drive on the freeway. You’re welcome to reach out to 74weld and voice your concerns. Again, with the high positive offset that is required...

      I understand that but most of the other Toyota platforms are not. I understand this is unfortunate for your particular use case but for the masses a 6x5.5 makes more sense. This opens up far more positive offset wheel options than going with a...

      Those are great questions. I would recommend reaching out to 74weld to get some of the more technical questions answered. I don’t see the towing to be a problem but i would let them answer that one. Yes, there will be more leverage on...

      Unfortunately just not enough vehicles with the 5x150 pattern for them to offer it at this time.

      just takes portals to get away from limited wheel choices. I love it.

      That is correct. Much more positive offset wheel options!

      Those are for the breather. Each corner has a breather that needs to be run with the diff breather. Oil change every 5k miles is recommended. Takes about 30-40 min. Not really. I drive my 2 74Weld equipped vehicles just as I did...

      If I had gone portals, the only thing in my current build I’d likely have skipped are the 4.88s. Stock suspension still would not cut it due to the weight. I’d still do lockers even though I agree that portals and big tires are probably more...

      I agree. Bolt on portals and big tires. Done. OEM suspension reliability. Clearance and gears all in one. Just ignore the price tag.

      They will be the same as the lc200. 22% reduction. no, you will not need tundra arms. Based off our experience with installing portals I would say a factory bbs forged wheel from a new tundra or sequoia would be perfect. That is a positive...

      What a tease. Great to see 74weld finally deliver on 200-series (and Tundra) fitment. Considering what most of us spent in mods, a stock 200-series with portals and tires might just be the better move to get further down the trail.
