Portal Hubs?

[LoneStar]

The June issue of Australian 4wd has an article on a LR Disco with portal hubs. This looks like a great lift option without all the time and $$ associated with a portal axle swap. Is anything like this availble for the 80?

The money is around $4-5K, the time was about four days. edit: for the complete axle swap.

I keep toying with the idea in my head, its the "best" way to build one IMHO but I cant wait untill i have 4-6k saved up to do modifications to my rig. someday......

Keep in mind that if you grenade a portal axle/hub on the trail, no one but you will likely have a replacement part.
