- Fit 37s On Your Tacoma With This BOLT ON Kit! | 74 Weld Portals
At Overland Expo PNW I HAD to stop by and see the Tacoma riding on 37 inch tires with NO regear, NO lift kit, and NO cutting! 74 Weld is making insane bolt on portal axle kits in the USA, for your favorite makes and models. These beautifully crafted pieces of hardware will blow you away!

$20,000!!!! Just for the portals!!!!! Dang!!!! Thats more than my tacoma costs!!!! 😅 id absolute love to have some tho! Does 74 weld have any blemished portals for a discount price 😅 hahaha
They do plan to do some cast stuff soon which will bring the cost down. Machined models will still be available along side them.
I know it’s crazy! I paid 19800 for my Fj when it was a year old! Inflation is crazy!
Yea, that's the wild part! I'm like gee whiz $20k like u said is dern near the cost of a 2nd truck. I think since it's new that costs are always higher and I hope it comes down as time progresses. Beautiful pieces tho
Tundra on portals and 40s would be sick
My understanding is that 74Weld uses straight cut gears, and because of that people say these make a lot more noise compared to helical cut gears. I would go with helical cut portals if I did this.
I’ve ridden in a Jeep and two broncos on 74Weld portals. We did both high speed and crawling…zero gear noise. The only one that says their gears make noise is some ill informed guy who happens to import a Chinese portal that he claims is superior
That'd be cool on the pro 4X
Will be cool if these catch on, 20k is steep but it's new technology and im sure design, testing and production was a huge cost for them. So hopfully if they become a thing a they get the production down, it may be more afordable down the road. 🤞
Yeah they are pricey. They want to make a cast version in the future and offer both. The cast offering will be thousands less, but still expensive no doubt.
I want portals on my Silverado
UNIMOG......Dankeschõn...
So the billet uppers/lowers are not included in the 20K price?
Haha, no sir. That’s an upgrade! Less expensive kits will be coming when they start casting all this stuff vs machining.
20K is a bit rough. For a wrangler you could buy all new axles and tires and probably a lift kit for the same money. They will have to find a cheaper way to produce these, or it will be a pretty niche product. I love the idea and the engineering behind this though. Great idea for someone that just wants to throw bigger tires on a factory vehicle.
They plan to make a cast version to bring the cost down, with the optional machined version. It will still be quite expensive for a kit I’m sure. If these were a true bolt on 100%, they would be excellent for maintaining resale value of a vehicle since no regearing or anything would be needed, but they do require more work to install than I originally thought.
What's the total height of the rig without the GFC?
I bet @74weld will reply
How would that 20k compare to an equivalent lift and re-gear?
We also give you a disk brake rear conversion, larger brake rotor and caliper in the front, and full float conversion with 4340 shafts on the rear. We also give you ground clearance that no lift kit will ever be able to do
@@74weld Not arguing if its good or bad, just genuinely interested in what others are paying to get an equivalent lift and regear. Once that is known we can compare value.
Some people think a solid axle swap is money better spent. To me, if I was building a rock crawler then maybe. But for a vehicle I drive all over the country, that would rule that out for me.
A long travel kit can get expensive fast. Like 12k or more for a quality kit. Certainly an attractive option, but so many heim joints freak me out. Such a pain to deal with here in Colorado.
As an overland truck type of traveler, I have to think portals are the better bet. Just because of the gearing, and keeping geometry stock for the sake of carrying the load. The major downside is the weight, but it’s unsprung so 🤷🏼♂️.
I have no experience with any of these major modifications, but portals have always seemed to be a advantageous option for an overland build. Rockcrawling not so much.
One of the biggest things people bring up with portals is the best build up. But since these are aluminum and these guys are saying these things can do high speeds on daily drivers, they are onto something.
Don’t have 20K but this would be cool on my Gen 2 Tundra.
Yeah, that would be incredibly cool to see
A regear with the most expensive lift is 10k less😊
What do the portals weigh?
Fronts are 56lbs
Each or total?
Given the obvious high quality nature of the design in these portals, one major con of any portal axle is weight gain so it would be critical to know if the total weight gained by going to portals is more than most can bear, especially if we're talking about 3rd Gen Tacomas. Front and rear portals along with the addition of real disc brakes must add significant weight. I would like to know what that total weight gain is.
Damn, I was sold till I heard the price. It’s still way cheaper to re-gear and do a lift.
It you don’t get that clearance under the lower control arms like you do with the portals
@@martinwilcox8166 Yeah, the portals move the diff way up, just the price is more than 4x the cost of my whole truck. 😂
Got a 6 inch lift with 35s method race wheels Toyo tires all included installed for 7k 2018 Tacoma
Plus the cost of your regear to turn those tires
Yeah I pretty much have the same. Buuut, if I could afford these, I'd definitely give them a go.
$20k! I will just buy a second tacoma 😅
Next Gen Tacomas are gonna be 60k fully kitted 😬
@@IndependenceOverland i was thinking a 2nd or 1st gen 🤭
20 grand? Worth it. (I say this as someone who has no where near $20000 to spend on anything
haha same here!
only 20K
Actually more 😵💫
For $20K, I would just go buy a nice used Rubicon Jeep
Buy my girlfriends please! That thing is a POS...
that doesnt solve any of the issues with the tie rods and weak power steering rack. turning tires that big will put to much stress on the rack. and crazy scrub radius along with cab mount interference and upper ball joint single sheer is questionable
Patience. We will be forging our own beefy tie rods and we will be launching a full billet replacement steering rack for the Tacoma platforms this year
I like seeing @74weld replying to all this stuff, I’m learning more and more about these kits and future products. Very cool!
@@74weld i really do like the idea of portals on the rear axel. that seems like a very adequate solution to get that diff off the ground.
20k 😂😂
lol lost me at 20
Just because you could, doent mean you should. That engine must be screaming at 5500 rpms going down the road. 😫
Portals, from what I have read, don’t do this. It’s designed for the larger tire. So it’s just like regearing your diffs.
The increased tire size effectively offsets the portal gearing. The overall effective ratio will be similar to stock.
Nope. Rpm’s are identical to stock. 22% larger tire with 22% deeper gearing takes you right back to stock
70mph is about 1800 rpm
they are not recommended for daily driving. Why install a 20-25K upgrade that you cannot use all of the time? Plus there is all of the additional rolling resistance you get with all of the little gears you are turning. No thanks. My 3" lift and regear was cheaper, and gives me everything I need.
