What the best crawl setting to attempt this? 4H/4L, locked/ unlocked rear-diffs?
I don't think it would be possible in a stock 4Runner, but it is your car. Definitely can be done, but I doubt it would be by anything stock.

This guy is oh so correct. Lots of people pushing caution should be listened to. Somebody mentioned "needing 33s, winch" ... I don't think a road worthy vehicle on 33s could do it. Watch this guy in a fairly built FJ Cruiser just get his head handed to him in the link I posted above. I did it in my lifted, armored, triple locked Land Cruiser on 35s and it was hell I'll never repeat. I've been everywhere in this state and Utah and am very comfortable traversing 4' obstacles and such. I crashed on stout aftermarket skids 50 times.
Another guy gave a good rundown. If you have a good 4wd (Jeep, Toyota) you can get up to Jaws 1 (about 10k).
If you're an experienced off-roader who doesn't mind significant damage and have a buggy, Rubicon or Land Cruiser on 37s with armor and a large lift, have at it. I'll carry a 50 lb backpack and be less tired from not going through 15 adrenaline rush near death experiences.
Poke around YouTube searching "Blanca Jaws". Notice the rigs that negotiate the obstacles easy. Many of these things are 4-6' obstacles. It's just like the Rubicon, only much shorter. Look at these guys. I think the first two guys are at least 37s, maybe 40s. And locked and it's still hard.
