1st big problem is wheel size. does the ram mounting matter if you can't turn it?

How many things are wrong in this picture?

It would appear that the drag link is not parallel to the track bar. I'm also subscribing to learn how many things are wrong in hopes of training my own eye.

That's an example of Rockwell Automations failed retro encabulator in use. Very rare. Here's a detailed description of it's use.

That's the one I remember... So much knowledge packed into one video!
It has a hemi out of a Commander in it. Junk yard motor and trans.
It is for sale for 55,000
20,000 dollar's worth of shit wrong and that's what you pick?
Let's start with the simple basics. What would happen if you hopped in, fired it up, got on the brakes hard and then tried to turn the steering wheel?
What width axle is required to run that Steering set up? What width axle is required to run 39's?
Hows come we can see all of the rotor with none of it inside the rim?

Assuming that one left the adjuster sleeve loose and the cylinder clamp did cause it to turn, it wouldn't be fucking up the toe, it would be fucking up the steering wheel center.
Stock width axle. VERY little backspacing to try and make up for it. Scrub radius is junk as a result. Steering not up to 39s. Will have all kinds of clearance issues with the tires at articulation on that width axle regardless of the backspace I’m sure.
What would happen if you tried to turn the steering wheel sitting still with the brakes on hard?
The rotors stop moving before the protruding tires/wheels. If the tires are outboard of the rotors, the turning radius is compromised while braking
It looks like the king pin axis hits the ground entirely inboard of the contact patch. So it's ALL scrub. The rig is going to be pushing the axle forward while the braked tires in both sides are pulling back on the outer knuckle with a long ass lever.
Did somebody custom order a PR 60 to match the width of a stock TJ axle and then just add spacers and remove backspace until the tires would mount?

The tires won't want to roll as they pivot around the SAI, where the SAI is inboard of the tires. Steering will be very difficult. It isn't unlike turning with a locked rear axle.
Every front end has a scrub radius so it isn't all or none, but it is highly fucked up, that's for sure.
Not sure but the builder was very proud of it.
