The starters: 2 FJ40's, a mini and a FJ80

Charlie at the 1st obstacle...

Mike gets a little air...

David shows that size does make obstacles more interesting...

Charlie keeps the big FJ80 from clearancing the rock - or maybe the door...

Darryl didn't recognize that it was an obstacle...

Mike...

David...

Charlie straddles a ledge...

then crawls on up it...

Mike has to get at a slight angle...

then crawls on op the ledge...

Mike...

Mike...

showing good flex...

Mike...

David's FJ80 again shows us that longer isn't always bad...

the big FJ80 crawls...

on over the ledge...

Darryl's FJ40 angles up...

and crawls up the ledge...

to the next ledge...

showing a little air under the RF tire...

then up one last ledge...

Mike flexes on a rock...

Charlie comes down Whale rock...

Charlie...

Mike, down Whale...

David,

down Whale...

Darryl's turn,

coming down Whale - impossible to see the spotter from this position...

Charlie, coming up,

the rock,

flexing the suspension,

and sometimes getting some air.

Charlie...

Mike...

David climbing up,

then decides to go back...

then there was a little crunch, scraping sound...

which was the drive shaft yielding to the weight of the massive FJ80...
