Both doable in a properly set up JK though the 2nd vid would require serious mods.

Don't know if a JK could even do my vid, cleared the trail with the JK when frozen but as seen in the vid, even the timberjack was down to only about 6" to spare with silty topsoil mud, was even winched out by it that day long before you see the timberjack come into the camera's lense.
You'd need a 10K+ budget, nitris and nothing but a purpose built JK to make it through the base of that hill IMO, love to see if one is already built .
Hell after seeing 4x4 schrottie vid I'm sure theirs something out their.

Absolutely a Jeep couldn't do that second vid, not sure about the first.

But if you're looking to make a point about the capabilities of a Jeep versus those vehicles, those vehicles arent "Go Anywhere" vehicles.

Pretty sure you couldn't climb a hill in those and then drive home on the highway in it.

THAT is what makes Jeeps so awesome.
