That's definitely cool but I think I would go with something more like the guys out of BC with the air shock setup.  I can't find a link for them right now but they were at the Offroad Expo in Red Deer a year or two ago.  There was a red YJ and a silver Yota if I recall.

That truck was in a few mags back in 2003.  Very interesting design.  Very complicated to drive.

When I saw the video i was pretty sure I had seen a magazine article a few years ago.
