Enjoyed the video. It’s a lot easier to buy a bronco with 74 Weld portals already installed like I did. I do wish I could feel the satisfaction of doing it.
Installing the 74weld Portals was very easy. They are very well engineered. Of course the instructions I downloaded didn't mention that new lug nuts are required. The front sensors didn't fit flush in the portal box. Aside from that it went very well. Did you guy's change the gear ratio on your vehicles computer.
We didn’t change the gear ratio but we maxed out the circumference at 2800mm. (Tried going to the actual number just to see what would happen. Truck was not happy) With that change the speedometer is about 8% off
You’re going to love that setup! Consider ordering a rear driveshaft from AdamsDriveShaft as the four link allows the stock driveshaft to articulate into the tank, especially on the two door. We just noticed it had been happening on ours while installing the breather tubes and ordered one. They had it built and shipped the next day.
How did the brake bleeding go? The instructions did not talk about pressure bleeding which is required on the 2.7 but not the 2.3. I used the Dorman 611-011 wheel lugs because the factory rims don't fit the 74weld hubs. That turned the factory rims to a "wheel centric" not a hub centric set up. Using F250 or F350 lugs technically is not the proper lug because they have a flat washer as opposed to the Dorman lugs which have a taper which is designed to center the wheel with the wheel studs. You should also change the axle ratio on your vehicles computer (very easy).
Went through two bottles of brake fluid to finally get the brake system happy. Ordered a venturi bleeder but ended up not needing it by the time it showed up. As for the lug nuts we ordered stock lug nuts for a platinum trim F350 as they are tapered. Those did the trick and no issues so far with 1000-1500 miles. Not interested in Procal to adjust the speedo. Seems like it’s more trouble than it’s worth based on reviews. Will continue using FORSCAN as we can help other people make beneficial changes too. Will wait on Goosetuned as we can get a custom tune with the portals on a dyno, change tire size, and delete “brake over throttle.”
Did they upgrade you hubs to the 1 ton? I have to get different lug nuts because my portal hubs are 1 ton. Was curious are you using your factory wheels and you changed the lug nuts? Or what rims are you running. Thanks for the response.
Yip! These are one ton bearings ans lugs. Using factory wheels with lug nuts for a platinum F350 to make it work. (Sorry for the delay. Notifications are turned off for social apps 😉)

Double check the brackets holding your brake calipers on. You’ll need to remove the rotor to do so. Caliper bolts are a 19mm socket.
You’re welcome for the video. Glad you enjoyed it. 👊🏼👊🏼
Good work! Wow that was a big job. Love watching you guys work together and figure things out and just keep moving until the job is done :)
Thanks! We only worked on it in the morning so it took three days but we did it!

Nice job. Dropping my 2-door off Monday for install.
Nice! Who is doing the work?
