most capable off-road pickup?

I personally don't see the need for portals unless you want to fit CTIS.

Just internet dreamin :sombrero:

The centre axle has a shaft running from it, to the rear most axle.

It's fitted with 5 differential locks, which engage in 3 stages, first stage engages the "centre" diff lock in the transfer case, second stage locks both rear axles, and the locker between them, and the final stage locks the front axle as well.

Having all the lockers is handy, but you need it, as it doesn't have a great amount of axle articulation.
I've had to hand the truck back - so I don't have pics, but I have described it as best I could above.
Depends on the portals - most of them are fitted to trucks that come with diesels, so are fine there, but because some of them use straight cut gears in the portal itself, they can overheat at higher speeds (single tooth engagement as opposed to multiple tooth engagement with helical gears).

I personally don't see the need for portals unless you want to fit CTIS.

Portals are stronger, more clearance without raising the cog and the coolness factor.

Portals on my 1-ton would be awesome! :wings: But they need to be able to handle 1000 ft-lbs of torque and run 80+ mph.

Thanks for all the replies.

The intended use would be to slap a 4 wheel camper on the back. Don't need it for regular pick-up duties, just a camping toy.

Seems like the Power Wagon is the consensus favorite.

Man, do I love these threads where the OP asks a very vague yet loaded question, and then sits back and watches all the usual suspects beat each other over the head with their loyalties! Four pages and not another peep from the OP.

I still vote PW, but I'm not rushing out to buy one...
