I think the best vehicle fit for you is a short wheelbase Unimog. It already has what you want, but the only downside is that it probably won't fit the garage. But let's face it, most vehicles with portal axles won't fit the garage unless it's a stock H1.

not lokin into doing it ..

even if i had a raptor ... i would go sooner into 4 link rear and long travel front
with upgrades to the axles and diff, before i would do something like portal axles

altough if money wasn't an option i would build a digital and smaal scale prototype before even considering going into modding a raptor to have portal axles.

its just theory here,
and maybe some where out there has a pot of gold and likes the idea...
so who will know ... but till that time
just theory-crafting here

LOL, sorry. I have been around these for a while and forget its not common talk.

TC = Traction Control
BTM - Brake Throttle Modulation. This is a technique using the brake and throttle to control wheel spin and fool the TC system
CTIS - Central Tire Inflation System. Inflate and deflate your tires on the go

You would need to CAD help for sure. You are talking ALL new parts. I don't think there is anything you can reuse. It will have to all be new, or bought from AM General or surplus

but yea ... and if you wanna Crawl and keep the true raptor in there as well... that is true only way to go

would be a nice "experiment"
