F-550 portals

So was looking at trucks on ebay and came across this little gem,

Click Me

It looked real cool and if you keep reading you get to the bottom and

If you want the "Worlds Ultimate F550" we also have a world exclusive (with 6 Patents) F550 Portals, C.T.I.S., and Internal Double Bead locking wheels with runflats available. It has more ground clearance and power than the mercedes Unimog U500 for 1/2 of the Unimog Cost.

A quick google search revealed nothing, anybody know anything or got pics

IDK bout the portals but I know a lot of the Florida trucks are going to I think they call em f109 or something center sections with rockwell outers because they are as strong as a Rockwell but lighter than a dana 60 and I swear they said they came out of a F550.

There's a thread bout it on pirate cause I think a few of the Big power hill climbing type buggies were interested as well in the weight/strength ratio it provides.

6wheeldrive could just be because there dually trucks, i think it said they were in OK. somewhere is that where USA6x6 was? seems they were in the midwest somewhere?

Portal axles was never a USA 6x6 thing was it?

NVM i dont nowhere I got OK. from, cant find it now...
