I have learned one thing about offroading in general 1:1 or scale,

Step 1: Build "cool" Rig

Last Picture shows the steering tie rod pulled out of the ball end on the knuckle.

Because of tire height, it would be in the trail class. Looks pretty wide as well.

Is it the angle? It looks like the front axle is about an inch off center towards the cab in the wheelwell. Like the tires would be hard into the firewall. Makes the front kinda look like a Ural 4320.
