0:00.0	Where does the four-wheel underground suspension shine more?
0:04.6	Creeping crawling on the Rubicon or going crazy fast out on Johnson Valley desert floor?
0:10.0	Yeah, good question.
0:11.4	It honestly does great in both scenarios.
0:13.7	Whether I'm going through the Rubicon or doing 50 to 60 miles an hour through washes at Johnson Valley,
0:18.6	it's really impressive what the suspension does. I think that
0:21.5	goes a lot to show how well it's engineered, how well the roll center is controlled, and how well the
0:27.3	geometry all goes together. No matter what I'm doing, I feel stable. I feel predictable. It's fantastic.

1:24.4	and maybe even poking a little bit of fun at Toyotas.
1:28.7	And, of course, hearing about how awesome it is to wheel in every wheeling condition in a Toyota. Then this is the podcast for you. That's right. Ladies and
1:34.8	gentle ladies. My name is Tyler. And this is episode 199. 199, Jimmy. Nice. Can you believe
1:44.0	in that?
