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.
