Over-Engineered Offroader

Description
This is the first part of a tree-harvesting machine I am working on and plan to publish once done. In the mean time, I figured I would share this because I think it looks pretty cool, and it also handles bumps and rough terrain like a champ.

It's built entirely with parts available in survival, and despite all the strange uses of suspension in it, it is meant to minimize any suspension glitch effects, and does not use suspension glitch behavior for anything.

It's completely impractical and you could definitely make something that performs just as well or better as an offroader in a much simpler and smaller package, but it isn't actually meant to be a dirt buggy or anything, it's just meant to be a platform for a tree cutter that can handle rough terrain.

The design is inspired by the Ponsse ScorpionKing logging vehicle, but it not meant to actually replicate the appearance or exact functionality.

i think the main improvement that could be made is to stop the front and back parts from rolling too much so they don't get turned upside down

Anybody who tries this out, please give me some suggestions on how to make it better. There are already a few issues with it that I'm working on for the "final product", but I would love to hear other thoughts
