Very fancy, but it can certainly climb.

No idea on the engine type either.

A clever set up hes got there.

Sounds like a 600 cc lump

I agree, I think it's one of those Kei car 3 cylinder turbo ones.

Thts a airbag system

You can get them on newer land rovers as well... I was going to look at measurements for them...

If there are airbags that are about the right height (when compressed) as my bumpstops, could put them on instead, and have lift-able suspension suspension ;)

I'm sure I've seen a SJ a few years ago on eBay that had air bags like that

I imagine with the leaf springs there as well it would be more of a gimmick than anything ;)
Would be useful occasionally if you could pump the suspension up though, like especially deep water, or if you drove over something and got hung up on the transfer box or chassis...

I agree, I'd say it was definitely a two stroke, when the camera moves around the back there's blue smoke from the exhaust, sure fire two stroke!
