For those contemplating fitting portal axles to a landy, LRE magazine
has a 90 on the cover with portals, I've only seen it on their
website, not seen the mag so don't know how much detail they're going
into. Looks like 303 wheels from here.

Yep, thought so, the Volvo C303 is the popular donor of choice.

I doubt it was, but apparently it's the easiest!

Talking of portals, i was on me way home Norwich today & saw some kind of crop spraying thingy & it
portals & with the size of the wheels i bet it had four foot ground clearance. it's not often you can
look under a vehicle in a Range Rover to look for oncoming traffic!!!

I've seen a few similar around here, all the ones I've seen had
hydraulic drive, i.e. hydraulic motors in each wheel, great idea as
long as you don't want to go more than about 30MPH ;-)

cool. If you had a small nippy car, you could undertake it by driving in
between the wheels.
