Twin-steer? Rear-steer? Chinese-six? Even 8x8? All interesting ideas but probably just muddying the water too much for this first project.

Dan, I'm familiar with Land Rover chassis; but I'm not the kind of guy who's had umpteen LRs and spends every weekend under one hence I'm asking you "experts" what model(s) you would suggest. It would be great to hear from anyone who's done this before. I do intend to do the work myself. I've...
