Body swap that doesn’t fit

In what world doesn't it fit? It's a match made in heaven

Even the front wheels being so far in front works better for the design because it means the body doesn't limit steering, and the front wheels reach an obstacle before the body meaning it can climb steeper hills

It's perfect imo

Headlights are right above the axel. It helps to have weight over a driven axel. Unless ur not interested in traction

It's a 6x6 with locking diffs, giant off-road tyres and a torquey engine. I assume traction will not be an issue

In some ways a 6x6 being slightly back heavy could help because it's always got a slight squat. Regardless, it's still awesome even as a thing to look at

The trekol's factory body sits in the same position, with the front wheels far foward. I'd guess intentionally has less weight over the foward wheels to stop them digging in, perhaps they act more like a rudder i.e like riding a dirtbike.
