You pretty much need a built rig to tackle the Rubicon. The fact this guy was ignorantly arrogant enough to try to bring a stock anything on it is half of the comedy.
The Rubicon isn't actually all that tough, Dirt Everyday did it in stock vehicles, a 70s Chevy squarebody truck and a 60s Jeep Cj2a. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGGRAXhxZVA

Yeah they didn't do it in a stock modern vehicle. Even though it's named after it, I'd guess most people would break down trying it in a new stock Jeep Rubicon. Of course pro drivers can do better, I'm not even skilled but I have climbed easily up trails where the "more capable" rig in front of me had just struggled. If you don't take any of the bypass routes, the Rubicon trail is a beast.
Just so you know, the text of your link looks fine but it points to https://lemmy.world/post/url
According to the article it wasn't stock, it was kitted out for the job.
It was a promo stunt from the company that's selling the aftermarket parts for the CT - and watching their other videos, basically everything they've done to it is cosmetic. Camper bed, goofy bumpers, locking plastic wheel covers, tie rods that are a whopping 4mm thicker... and that's it. No reinforcing of basically any other components, and it really shows.
