Finally got out there...
Went with my dad's friend, who I hang out with more than my dad does, but, he made it through in an 80-series Land Cruiser. Is it a first? Who knows. 6 feet of rock rash pinstripes were installed on the squeeze for him.

I got through the squeeze no problem, 3 attempts though to get the high line on the left side. I was pretty freaked on on it though, I didn't want to get body damage! Heart attack hill wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for some reason.

I ended up snapping a mount for my trail master (disaster) kit. We had to mend it with a flat steel piece from a high lift jack and two hooks from some ratchet straps. I drove all the way back home, and over some obstacles though... hah.

On to the pix and the videos.

That trail is always fun.....looks like you had a blast.

Heartattack hill looks pretty tame these days. Lots of rocks filling the first hole.

He went through the damn squeeze so fast we didnt have time to take pics.

Heres one pic of him going up Fish Creek, you can see the dents on that side.

There was no way an FJ-80 could fit through the squeeze w/o body damage. The rocks were pushing in sheet metal about 2-3 inches the entire time. It popped back out pretty well though. We took a BFH and bent the sheet metal back so he could open his doors.
