I've been toying with this idea too, with a twist...
Instead of locating the center axle with the rear, move it to the center of the rig & make BOTH the front & rear axles coordinated steering.
The old ARMY M561 Gamma Goats did this.

This will allow it to turn extremely sharp by pivoting on the center axle.
We all have had trouble climbing out of ruts, with both axles turning, It will pull & push itself up out of it.
I think it would be a killer set up... Who wants to help me build one???
Here's a great concept!!!
