It's silliness because it serves almost no practical purpose outside of racing across a desert and that makes it wonderful and to be applauded at every opportunity.

Interesting concept and something I have no idea about.

My stupid thinking has the solid axles as problem 1, following by the chassis mods to incorporate the changes required to get rid of this design.
The fact the Jimny body is light is a bonus???
With this in mind why on drop a body on something like this, modified to mate the parts together and with bigger tyres. Maybe a Hayabusa engine for a bit more speed. (Believe the Jimny 1.3 has some Hayabusa parts!)

Do you need to follow any particular design to qualify as a pre-runner, or can anything go?

My understanding is a pre runner is not an actual class as such in proper desert racing they are more of a support/recon vehicle for trophy trucks usually with less power and lower top speed some even being road legal adjacent. Also they seem to be mostly rwd with a solid rear axle and ifs.
