Anyone ever put Mog outer portal boxes on FJ80 axles? Opinions?

I don't think these are Mog portals, but here's a set on (I think they're on now) an 80:

Yea those are Mog-9 axles from Diff Eng. They are bad a$$. Since the 80 axles are high pinion with electric lockers and 30 spline, I thought it would be a great idea but not a new idea. The only thing to figure out would be the reverse rotation and bracing the axle housing. One good thing is there are no more birfs.

I guess Ken Hanna's the guy to talk to then for more info.
I've been waiting for more pics, but I think he's busy making bumpers, sliders and stuff...

My first question about the NV4500 and this one on the mog outers comes down to possibly building my 94 FZJ80 into an all around trail and driver. Here are my thoughts- 6.0 Vortec, NV4500, HF2A case or replacement for it being offset/offset, 80 axles with Mog or other portal outers, Slee or OME springs to clear 37s. Could substitute portal outer for front D60 outer parts to eliminate birfs and just go with more suspension. Thoughts?
