Bit of a thought experiment following a conversation with a mate. 

How possible do we think it would be to custom build a Jimny suspension that has like 2 feet of vertical wheel travel?  I contend that while anything is possible the short wheel base of the Jimny is not conducive to such articulation as the length of the trailing arms will not readily fit in the chassis without overlapping the mounting points. This in turn has implications for propshaft design and diff pinion angles. 

Thought I would offer this to the collective for consideration.

think it can be done. see video.
there is a brief photo og radial Arms. at the point where the attach to chassis it can also swivel, to prevent lockup. so it don't just move up an down but can turn a bit.

That's cool but I would say it was more rock crawling than pre runner. We were more thinking about very high speed over undulating terrain than low speed over large obstacles.

The more I think about it the more I think it would have to be a full custom chassis with quite an extended rear section that is wearing something that looks like a Jimny body or cab at least. I just can't see how the Jimny wheel base would accommodate it any other way
