Ah, yes! A custom made independent suspension, much like the one on
8448 or 8865. This approach will need no less than four universal
joints. I think that it prevents the width of the vehicle from being
narrow, so I've never used this approach myself. But if you're making a
large vehicle anyway, it shouldn't matter too much.

For an articulated model, I would suggest that you take a look at 8459,
the large front loader. It even has 4WD!
