Volvo Portal Axles 4,000

Got to remember that most rover owners don't like to mod their trucks that much. If the beast was a crawler not a trail rig then I would be considering this type of axle.
my friend with a FJ80 with the volvos, drives it as a daily driver most the time. gas cost is only reason he doesn't drive it all the time.
If I had the cash, time, tools, and skills to swap those in I would be all over them, but I'm lacking in all four of those categories

There are a couple sets of Mog axles on ebay right now. One set full reconditioned. I think the volvos are harder to get parts for but easier to fit. A buddy of mine is putting mog portals on his classic and it isnt cheap. The axles are just the starting point. Too much cash for me.

its not that bad.....mogs are way harder
you cut the brackets off your rover and weld them on the volvos. run the lines for the vacuum lockers. you can convert to disc but thats about 1000, if you stay with drum i think you have to do some converting there (lack of research). then new wheels and tires. d shafts match up.
but with 7.1 its too low. theres a 5.99 version out there i'd use
As was said before, you may want to try Pirate 4x4 or d-90.com, they might be more likely to sell in one of those two places.

if you installed them on a truck, then posted the truck for sale, you would have 5 assholes badgering you to part out the axles.
