I'm not saying I can't see there being any point to going down that path, there is if you are mounting winches and suchlike and it definitely looks cool, but if you're going to make a Jimny as big and strong as a defender or cruiser why not start with one in the first place?
Oh and I know I'm a hypocrite and should buy a sports car instead of corrupting my Jimny into something it wasn't ever meant to be.

However I tend to share Lambert's thoughts on relating that video to the Jimny.
Jimny's are cute and very capable; it would be easy to turn it into something of a cumbersome Frankenjimny

Dont get me wrong - I love reading all the stuff on the serious off-road machines; the "fat Jimnys" it's certainly something I myself would aspire to if it wasn't for me already being up to my neck in pre-war sports cars.
Some of the photos and in particular S200KYS blog was utterly fascinating.
If time and money was no object... I'd have a right proper Billy Bunter of a Jimny

Dave and Brett could easily bounce off trees where as mine would be extensively damaged
also love the look of external cages
I have an obsession with keeping it light removing the front seats in favour of buckets saved me around 40kg
After dropping a front door on my foot on removal they must be near on 50kg each (steel toe caps on )
Dose anyone know if jimny was produced with wind down windows no motors less weight lol
