Showing off Flex?

Theres going to be a ricer meet 2 minutes from my house on Sunday. Im planning on showing up in the 4Runner and crawling up on random things to show off Flex.

I have stock suspension. 265/75R16s on 16x8s.

What would be some good things to crawl up on, while still keeping hte other 3 wheels planted ont he ground?

Again no offense, but what's the point? That's like walking up to a bunch of women and telling them you have a bigger ding dong than them. Your comparing apples to oranges, but hey, i'm sure they'll be really impressed.

Most people who aren't into offroading or don't know anything about suspension flex/articulation think that the axle or suspension is broken. They aren't used to seeing the body that far away from the axle.

You just reminded me of a 'wheeling trip when my buddy brought his truck out for the first time ever on a trail. I wanted to see his flex and he got out and was so upset because he thought he broke something. I had to calm him down and flex mine out and show him it was normal. Now he's hooked on the off road scene.
