I'll leave this one to the guru's but what about upgrading to a GU front axle and steering box. Could also adjust the limiting bolts on each swivel housing.
I'm probably wrong but hope someone here can help

Kris is right, GU front diff and sterring box will do the trick.

Too true, brother.

Wouldn't it be great to have a turning circle of say, an armoured tank. Pivot on the inside, turn on the outside.

Leave me alone. I'm allowed to dream. lol

You may all have noticed that "Tight Turning Circle" wasn't listed under the 'features' section in the brochure when they came out!!! LOL
