Thanks Fredrick, that looks great.
Will give it a whirl tonight.
Actually, my plan is for a 6x6, and I wanted front and rear steering as
there is too much friction from the wide rubber on those big wheels for

With those big wheels, good suspension, and all wheels driven, this thing
should be unstoppable!
