Abstract
An adjustable portal box assembly for selectively mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in either of two positions. The assembly includes a mounting plate mountable to the suspension of an off road vehicle, and a portal box is mountable to the mounting plate. The portal box includes an input shaft opening for an input shaft, and an output opening for an output shaft. The portal box is mountable to the mounting plate in a first position in which the output shaft is positioned to extend the wheelbase relative to the input shaft, or in a second position in which the output shaft is positioned in vertical alignment with the input shaft.
Claims17
An adjustable portal box assembly for selectively mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in either one of two positions, the assembly comprising a mounting plate and a portal box;
- wherein said mounting plate is mountable to the suspension of the off road vehicle;
- wherein said portal box is mountable to said mounting plate;
- wherein said portal box includes an input shaft opening for an input shaft, and an output shaft opening for an output shaft,
- wherein said portal box is mountable to the mounting plate in either of two positions, namely:
- a first position in which the output shaft is positioned below and forward of said input shaft when the assembly is adapted for mounting a forward wheel, and in which the output shaft is positioned below and rearward of said input shaft when the assembly is adapted for mounting a rearward wheel, and
- a second position in which the output shaft is positioned below and in vertical alignment with the input shaft.
An adjustable portal box assembly for mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in a lifted and extended wheelbase position, the assembly comprising a mounting plate and a portal box;
- wherein said mounting plate is mountable to the suspension of the off road vehicle;
- wherein said portal box is mountable to said mounting plate;
- wherein said the portal box includes an input shaft opening for an input shaft, and an output shaft opening for an output shaft,
- wherein said the portal box is mountable to the mounting plate only in an extended wheelbase position in which the output shaft is positioned below and forward of said input shaft when the assembly is adapted for mounting a forward wheel, and in which the output shaft is positioned below and rearward of said input shaft when the assembly is adapted for mounting a rearward wheel.
An adjustable portal box assembly for selectively mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in either of two positions, the assembly comprising a mounting plate, a portal box, an input shaft, and an output shaft;
- wherein said mounting plate is mountable to the suspension of the off road vehicle;
- wherein said portal box is mountable to said mounting plate;
- wherein said portal box includes an input shaft opening for receiving said input shaft, and an output shaft opening for receiving said output shaft,
- wherein said input shaft is connected to said vehicle and extends into the portal box assembly through said input shaft opening, and wherein said output shaft extends outward from the portal box assembly through said output shaft opening;
- wherein said portal box is mountable to the mounting plate in a first position in which the output shaft is positioned below and forward of said input shaft when the assembly is adapted for mounting a forward wheel, and below and rearward of said input shaft when the assembly is adapted for mounting a rearward wheel, and in a second position in which the output shaft is positioned below and in vertical alignment with said input shaft.
