Probably. In first gear low I can get out of my Jimny, walk right around it and get back in again whilst it trundles along on idle

They will have fitted a crawler box- a modified transfer case that gives super low gearing in low range. Normally high range is only altered slightly, to correct for oversized tyres, so road speed isn't affected.

When you look at some of their other videos they have transports for the Jimny in the car park. Probably because of some of the body damage they attract.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
Bellerophon (2024 grello van daily
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!

I can put mine in low range 1st gear and walk around it too a it's that low geared and slow. This guy could probably crawl on the ground next to his as the gearing is so low.

He probably has a trailer for it due to the distance he has to travel to the trail and the high risk of damage. It's not likely to be nice to drive on the road.
