That's proper death wobble, the kind where you have to stop the car for it to go away. Very rare for a Jimny to get that bad without serious neglect, but not unheard of in any solid axle vehicle.
When most Jimny owners say they have "death wobble" they are referring to a slight steering wobble at 40-50mph that goes away again as speed changes. It wouldn't even be noticeable from outside the car.

This is how I perceive the complaints - many owners of solid axle vehicles have never seen or experienced death wobble, and call any wobble death wobble, if it starts at a given speed or only occurs within a specific range of speeds, then it's not death wobble, it's speed wobble, induced by out of balance wheels.
It's very easy to create a death wobble conducive scenario on a Jeep, large wheels, large lift, poor suspension geometry, not so much on a Jimny
Ok and? It's a very modified jimny you can tell by the damper on the steering, the diff guard, the after market radius arms, the wheels and tyres even. And you can hear everything clacking and rattling about and when you look close at the knuckles they are not just rotating but appear to be moving in an out too. It wouldn't be particularly difficult to go through that front end and with a few new bits get it driving as nicely as those tyres would allow. Using one particularly bad example doesn't provide a statistical correlation to every single other example being the same. It would be like cutting your leg and ignoring it until in went gangrenous and then saying every cut on anyone is causally linked to do the same regardless.
