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.
0:32.8	That makes a lot of sense because they are designed to be great on and off road. That's true. I do drive the

1:17.1	Oh, welcome one, welcome all to the snail trail four by four podcast. If you like going on birding in Toyotas, wrenching on Toyotas, camping in Toyotas,
1:21.8	and maybe even poking a little bit of fun of Toyotas.
1:25.7	And, of course, hearing about how great Toyotos do
1:29.6	on the Rubicon Trail with stab tires.
1:33.3	Then this is the podcast for you.
1:35.9	That's right, ladies and germs.
