Summary

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
0:39.2	rig to and from the trails as well. And I noticed on tight, windy mountain roads, I don't feel like

Hallelujah. We did this recording on the 31st of January. The next day the trail actually opened. So that is great news.
1:30.2	El Dorado County has claimed that they went into the Rubicon area, had assessed some of the
1:36.7	situation that's going on there and deemed, shockingly to all of us, I know, that the trail is
1:41.9	under snow and there's no mitigations that need to happen.
1:44.8	So they've opened the trail once again. So we do reference the trail being closed in this episode.
1:50.1	There is some good content in there, so I chose to leave the content there. But I wanted to make
