Saw the postings in the last forum for the portal axles and axle yokes, and there's the lockers and hubs available, plus some upgrade parts from M Series and Ugly Truckling.

One idea that keeps rolling around in my head is a new or modified hub assembly with a more modern lug pattern. This would open up a much larger selection of wheels for people who were using the stock axles.

They would have to be set up for disk brakes, but it's unlikely that anyone looking at something like this wouldn't already be considering those anyway.

I'm still mired down in a kitchen remodel and haven't gotten to working on the axles yet, but I keep wondering about the logistics of either modifying the stock hub with a new lug pattern, making new hubs, or modifying more modern hubs to work with our axles.

With the right pattern you'd be able to choose just about any wheel style, size, or configuration you wanted right out of most catalogs.
