@@SlikRokProductions2022 Honda Talon i want to do 22" wheels on 37 with 8" portals what gear reduction would work best
As a Defender owner and anxiously waiting for the videos of what your doing to yours. Great video to tease with. Looks like you guys are doing some great goodies on yours. Can't wait to see the final product.
Hey Stanley, it is coming along nicely! Just waiting on some key parts!
That's so good man thanks for all the information you guys are the best thanks so much
Awe man thank you! Appreciate that!

Thank you man!

Thank you Mark!
Good Stuff thanks for sharing
Tell it like it is Curt!!! Thanks for the info big guy
He has a tendency to do that! Thank you for the support!
@@SlikRokProductions haha sometimes i do too!! Shows our age i guess lol
Can you do an update vid on your Defender? I would love to hear what all you have done to it and see some footage of it in action. Great vids on the channel btw, very informative!
Pretty much answered what I had been wanting to ask since the release of these gen 3s... I was wondering if I could get away with some 33s on 4" 15% portals on my xp4 1k.
You can get away with it but you will just be lower geared and loose some top end speed.
I have a 2019 xmr outlander 1000 and have been wanting to go to 32” tire I ride mud and still enjoy the trails as well would a 15% gear reduction work for a mud tire of that size ? Thanks for the great videos and info
Yes the 15% would be a good choice for that size!~
Love you’re stuff!!!
X3 XRS with 4” I want to run 35”’s I think that would be a bad ass look. What reduction? I want to be able to do 65 without the motor screaming bloody murder. Lol
I love the torque but I can’t lose the complete top end.
Please help
Thanks
We run our X3's with 4" portals 30% reduction and 35's at 65mph+ no problems.
What gear reduction do you recommend for 4” portals 2” lift and F+R offset A-arms on 33s for a teryx 4? I just ordered 15%! Hoping it will be ok!
Would like info on the scissor lifts you use? Looking for something to lift high enough to get lifted machine off the ground without using a fork lift. Haha
What mechanism lift are you using to lift up your UTV while working on it in the garage?
Great stuff thank you very much. Anyone know what lift that is?
Direct lift atlas 6k
I have a 2023 defender xmr and it has 30” stock tires. Want to put 6” portals and run 40” tires. Would a 30% gear reduction be ideal for trail riding in the mud? Thanks man, new subscriber here!
Personally if you are stepping up to a 40” tire you would probably be happy with a 30% gearing and may be slightly under geared at that. Meaning you would almost be at a 1:1 ratio depending the true size of the tire. Have you found a tire you want to run?
@@SlikRokProductions haven’t found a tire I want to run yet. I’m open to suggestions. Any particular brand I should avoid. What brand do you like?
@@jmaud1233 in that size we really like the MRT Xrox DD it would be a great tire for you. It is a 39” 10.50 18
Great video.. I have a 2019 can am defender xmr with forward arms on 35 motohavoks with a clutch kit wanting to go with 37’ and 4 inch portals what do you recommend for gear ratio.
In the 4" portals and those sizes I would go the 30% reductions
SlikRok Productions thank you for responding 👍🏻😁
@@franklake4637 Always!!
Hello i got a 21 general xp4. Want to run 35" vs the stock 30" tires. I would like to keep the top end about the same but also have enough gearing for trail and rock crawling. I want the 4" portals but im not sure about 15% or 30% reduction. What would you recommend? Thanks in advanced
See you guys this weekend ! Are you guys guiding a trail this year at rotr?
Awesome and look forward to it. Yes we will be, not sure which ones.
SlikRok Productions ok when you know let me know and I’ll get signed up. Just registered but didn’t pick any trails because I didn’t know witch ones you were guiding
What's a good 35" tire for rock crawling? I see guys using truck tires, but aren't they too heavy? I hope the ATV tire manufactures start building similar tires for side by sides and keep the weight down.
A good strictly utv rock tire is the cst lobo rc, maxxis also makes the roxxilla and system 3 has a 36" tire but cant recall the name.
If I buy a Can Am defender hd10 4 and lift it to run 37s with 24" wheels or even 22" wheels with no bigger then a 37" tire, what size portal would i need and reduction size to still have top speed and jump it if I wanted to lol
I just put a set of portals on a 2020 can am maverick sport xxc. I've got a real problem with turning now. It will not turn for nothing. It's not that it's pushing my front tires will not turn but one round on the steering wheel.
What tires you running? what is your wheel offset? locker?
These sound like the perfect option for a Yamaha YXZ and the high 1st gear. Has anyone heard any feedback on these for the Yamaha?
We haven't had any experience with them on the Yamaha, would be curious to know as well!
Thanks for this video! I want to put 6” portals on my X3 and run 40” tires. Would you recommend the 30 or 45 percent reduction? We ride the deep mud and some trail too. I don’t need to run 65mph, but I don’t want to be redlined at 40 either. Thanks for any help.
I would go with the 45% that is what we have on our XPT with 40's and it is good!
You may want to rethink that portal lift. I put one on my can am and can't turn for nothing. Looking like I spent way to much money on unnecessary equipment that I can't use now. I've been on the phone with superatv and they are like well you bought it good luck with it. Very unhappy....
Charley Stevens we just got done installing the front and doing the back this weekend. I went back and forth about putting steering stops in, but I did anyway. What if you took those out, would that give you some better turning? I hope your wrong on this. I’ve talked to several people and you are the first that has had this problem. Kingbossquad has two of these machines that he loves. Send him a message and see what kind of problems he is having. I guess I’ll find out this weekend what it will or will not do. Thanks
Good luck man. My rig is a 2020 can am maverick sport xxc. Maybe the X3's aren't that way.
I didn't have steering stops either.
We have a 2019 can am defender max we are running 32s and we ride Forrest trails and dirt roads would a 15% be good to keep our top end speed or a 30%
the 15% would be the perfect fit for that tire size, same as I am running on mine.
I just got a 2020 Can Am Defender ,Can you run tracks if I installed a 6 inch Portal lift?
What up, congrats on the purchase. Possible yes, fabricating nightmare also a yes. Plus tracks are gear reduction as well and you would have no top speed doing them on top of each other,
I recently purchased 4” portals with a 15 percent reduction for my 2021 ranger. Do I need a lift on top of the portals to run 32 inch tires?
No sir that is the perfect combination to run 32’s
what kind of service lift is the defender on?
I’m looking for a build that will allow me to use Tracks... is that possible? Tracks on Portal Lifts? Looking to lift my North Star Crew for rock crawling and mild river crossing up in the Rocky’s. Any suggestions on size of lift, highlighter and portal combo? I’m wanting to make a Hunting Rig for the Mountains but still be easy to get in and out of for Farm/Homestead chores like hauling hay, snow plowing, loading and hauling grain. I’m 5’7”... just a little guy. I don’t have too much trouble getting in and out my Ram 2500 Cummins with a 4” lift and a side step.... if that helps. Any help and suggestions with my Ranger, I would greatly appreciate it.
-Purple Heart Combat Veteran
Possible yes, a fabrication nightmare very mush so. also the issue is tracks are already providing gear reduction and then the portals on top of that will loose any top end. We have gone down this road and ended up scrapping it on our ranger build.
SlikRok Productions ok so next question:
Is there room under the Bed in the engine bay for an aftermarket Turbo? I truly want to make a Ranger Turbo S with a 6” lift. I have always been a firm believer in compensating added weight with more torque and horsepower. Heck, if there is enough HP, there could be a significant increase in fuel performance as well. I know when I tuned and added a CAI to my Ram Cummins truck, it great improved my HWY MPG (27 hwy empty weight). If this is possible, what Turbo company would you go with and is there a stealth or silent muffler you can buy for these? I want to be the quietest Hunting UTV without going all electric (EV Ranger).
SlikRok Productions you lose too End with tracks already, portals don’t re-compensate? Or is it one of those upside-down engineering problems with the gearing?
At this point, it seems more logical to put a charger system on the engine, lift it 6” with a highlighter kit with all the needed HD components and run 35”s and Polaris Tracks on it. Swap tracks and wheels as needed. I know that MATTRACKS won’t mount up to Highlifter lower control arms (I think they are designed for OEM lowers). But the Polaris Tracks look promising. What do you think?
I've got a set of brand new superatv 4 inch billet portals with 30% gear reduction. I would make someone a sweet deal on.
@@rocketman3776 Yes there is enough room to add a turbo and there is actually a company in Utah called Keep Smiling Powersports that has a turbo set up you can order.
What reduction would you recommend for 6 inch portals, along with a bracket lift, and 37 inch motohavoks
For the mud
I would... hmm that splits the line but for mud maybe the 45%. It will be really low geared
Got a 15 900xp ranger on 32x10x14 now with 2 inch forward arms and bracket lift. Going to go to a 4 inch portal and a 33x10x20. I’ve got a gilomen tune and there big tire clutch kit and my ranger runs better than it did stock and still hits 65mph. I’m thinking 15% what do you think I don’t want to lose much power. I easy ride only. Thanks
With your set up and riding style I would for sure recommend the 15%. In both our rangers and defenders we run the 15% and has been a great combo for these rigs
How do you feel about 5-10 minutes of running 35-40 mph on portals. Sometimes I got to run down the road to get to the other side of the lake and got to run speed limit on the blacktop road. All other times be slow rides 20mph or less and not steady speeds
@@ss454gm we have run prolonged 50 60+ mph in Moab on the highways for 10+ miles with no issues
I have the x3 Xds turbo r , gonna get the gen 3 4” with 30% reduction to go on my 34s👍 Where’s the X3 videos 🙏
Great combination! They are there, just check out our ride videos!
I've got exactly what you need. Superatv billet 4 inch portal's 30% gear reduction new. Hit me up I will make you a sweet deal
Charley did you sell your portals? i am looking
What shop lift is that under the machine?
When you purchase portals from SATV they ask you “would you like a frame stiffener”? If you answer yes it only includes the front one
Are you having any problems on the Defender crew with portals? Diffs or anything?
Can’t find a Ranger Northstar to purchase so just wondering, thank you in advance
What size portals would you run 4" or 6"with 36" tires on a rzr 4
We run 4" portals becuase we have more tire options because with 6" portals you have to run a 18" wheel.
@@SlikRokProductions ok thank you I'm about to build a new rig and that is the problem I was running into was wheel and tire issues with 6"
get the strongest ball joints and tie rods you can
Always!
I have a 2018 defender xmr and want to run 34" tires is a 4" portal with 30% a good choice ?
Very good choice for that size tire. We actually have a brand new set of Gen2 4" portals 30% reduction for a defender we can save you some money if you are interested.
Ronald Hipp I've got a new set of gen 3 superatv billet 4 inch 30% gear reduction portals. I would make you a sweet deal on.
SlikRok Productions im interested in a price on those portals
Charley Stevens im interested in a price on your portals u offered
Highlifter claims to have been the first to come out with dual idler portal. Anyone know if thats true?
What gear reduction on a ranger 900 crew with 32 inch tires? Want to buy portals soon
The 4” portals with 15% reduction!
It has supert atv 2 in forward a arms, my tires are new 32 inch but if i buy the 15% reduction, will they still work if later upgrade to 35s
Marcos Olivo we have a video on our channel here that talks about portals and what reduction goes best with what machine and tire application. If you go up to a 35” tire the 30% reduction would be better for that size
2004 Yamaha rhino need portals do you make them
What brand of scissor lift is that
Tripp Cothron Direct lift atlas 6k
Hi I have a 2014 can am commander 1000 max xt running 29 inch tires what am I looking for
I have 4" portals on my 21 pro xp4 ultimate i have issues with portals leaking at the cv shaft input. Did you come across that issue?issue?
Yes we had that issue with gen 1 and gen 2 gdp portals but have not had any leaking issues with the gen3. What gen are yours?
Gen 3 i belive, they sent me new gear and seals
@@simonradej3003 have you swapped them yet? Fix the leak?
What lift is that?
What size rims do I need for a 4"portal and a 6"portal? I have 15s now
Minimum 14" with 4+3 offset on 4" portals and an 18" wheel minimum on 6"
SlikRok Productions so I have 15" fuel rims, I should be able to fit a 4" portal no problems right?
@@russadams1298 You should be just fine! what offset are they?
SlikRok Productions says +13mm on the box. I just picked up a spare rim and tire
Russ Adams I am not familiar with that. I am used to seeing 4+3 or 5+2.
What we really need to be asking is why a 45% isn't available in a 4" lift. No need for a idle gear cause your ratios is from the input to output gears idle gears do nothing.
Are you still making videos? I just don't see any new content
We sure are, have a lot of videos since this one
