I didnt see a 6 x 6 yet based on portals but I am sure it could be done , it would also give you a longer tray body if you were inclined to put a camper on the back , you could get a 6 metre long camper with a 6 x 6 as opposed to a 4.5 metre on the 4 x 4.
You have to note the video is taken with empty trucks and dry soil.
Different kind of fun if the truck had 3.5 tonnes of load and you were driving up clay tracks in monsoon rain....

The Australian Army has Unimog 6x6 wreckers that have portal axles, just google it.
