A lot can and has been said about Suzuki’s series of small 4x4s (marketed under many different names around the world, such as the LJ and SJ series, Samurai and Jimny) over the years – I’m sure many will remember the roll-over debacle in the United States.

However, one thing that is indisputable about, if not all, most iterations of the Suzuki model, is how capable they are both off-road and in treacherous weather conditions.

The following video of a Japanese domestic market (JDM) Suzuki Samurai performing an amazing feat, pretty much speaks for itself.

As mentioned by our tipster Okada from Japan, the 3.4 meter long (just shy of 134 inches) Samurai shown in this video is powered by a 0.6-liter (658cc) turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine twisting out 68PS (63hp).
