Correct me if I am wrong, but they took portal axles and replaced them with a dodge drivetrain?

Why.

It was a movie vehicle.

Why.

I read it as tranny and engine were from a dodge- leaving the portals still

but I'm wrong from time to time, just ask my girlfriend

Looks like stock axles to me. The hub step is a dead giveaway

 

[DiscoDavis]

That clears it up then

I did wonder how they kept the same wheels,hub

Huh just watched the video. I take that back I don't think it has the stock axles.
