In an impressive modification report, a Maruti Gypsy is capable of a crabwalk like the Hummer EV. Gypsy is the OG lightweight off-roader. It was immensely popular in India for its mad capabilities. Note that it was the second generation version of the Jimny. Currently, we get the fourth generation Jimny which is on sale. Hence, the DNA of a hardcore off-roader has always been the identity of the Jimny/Gypsy nameplate. But the Gypsy we are talking about includes a slew of bespoke off-road customizations. Let us take a look at the details here.

Maruti Gypsy Can Crabwalk Like Hummer EV
This post comes from b.choww and emi.dsouza on Instagram. The host explains all the modifications on this Gypsy. However, the video commences with a remarkable feat. The Gypsy is crabwalking at an angle of around 45-degrees. That is something we have seen on the Hummer EV. This Gypsy gets a rear-wheel-steering setup which can make it go sideways. That is a critical addition to its arsenal on an off-roading adventure. It has been built by Code Six Goa and Malvankars. Other mad customizations include:
- 1.6-litre Baleno Engine Swap
- Stage 2 ACS Clutch
- DIA BMC Air Filter
- Automech Performance Exhaust
- Crawler Rear
- Custom Reverse Shackles
- Custom Off-Road Suspension Setup
- AMX Winch
- T-Max Air Compressor

Author’s Note
We praise the careful and skilled improvements done to this nimble off-road vehicle. They show that the modifier really knows their stuff when it comes to internal combustion engines. Also, using top-notch parts highlights the dedication to keeping the reliability intact while boosting performance. Even though we haven’t had a chance to take the vehicle for a spin, the specs definitely catch our attention. But it’s crucial to remember that these modifications aren’t approved by the law in our country. So, any changes should be limited to educational or hobbyist purposes only.
