how to change layered navigation with categories that aren't nested

how to change layered navigation with categories that aren't nested

Hello,

My build has a few category trees


Vehicle Type (root)

-> Product Type
-> -> Radiators
-> -> Sending Unit

-> Cars
-> -> Honda
-> -> -> Civic
-> -> Dodge
-> -> -> Aries


-> Heavy Trucks
-> -> Ford
-> -> -> L800
-> -> Mack
-> -> -> Titan


When users come to my site, I would like them to
1. Pick a product type
2. Pick Cars or Trucks
3. Pick the Make
4. Pick the Model

 

I would like the layered navigation to also be reflective of this

 

As it is now, you pick either Product type, Car or Truck and the layered navigation is stuck in that category, I am unable to to sort by the other categories once I am in one of them.

 

As you can imagine, all categories apply to all products, but they are dependent on each other in a spider web way, not linear, this is my main issue
