I am a bit surprised that a few on here are saying "take it to a pro mechanic". For most, the point of asking on forums is exactly not to do that and instead try to learn some more about the issues at hand.
Anyway, if the OP is still reading this, there most likely is something wrong with the cooling system. A Jimny on stock sized wheels should simply not overheat unless in extreme warm environment. In the thread there are some suggestions (thermostat, radiator covered in mud), so you should address those. Have you checked the coolant level? Did the warning light come on at all?
Look at it this way. Imagine you a a veterinary surgeon and you get a phone call from a civilian giving you a few vague but worrying symptoms of what is wrong with their puppy. Now Imagine that you are taking a call from a shepherd who has given you a detailed breakdown of the various symptoms and the responses of the sheep to the various treatments that the shepherd has already provided for the animal. Your prognosis is going to be very different from one to the other, you would certainly request that the civilian bring their puppy to you or a colleague as soon as possible whereas you would probably offer some further diagnosis over the phone to the shepherd and probably prescribe additional treatment with a follow up in person consultation if there is no improvement. What you wouldn't do is tell the civilian to start invasive procedures off the bat.

Also the Jimny sheperds here have enough input and experience of overhating problems to know that these problems often require pressure testing of the cooling system and cylinder head and a chemical analysis of the cooling fluids to check for exhaust ingress to determine a proper diagnosis.
We the sheperds have seen too many times that overheating issues often do not go away before either a head gasket or a head or even an engine replacment is done. So as many sheperds here try give good advice, the best advice here is to get a vet's opinion early on.
