Summary

Tyler has finally cut the WMS for his Front axle, and it is going to be slightly smaller than the rear one. Is this a bad thing, is it wrong to run two different size axles?

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

Welcome one, welcome on to the snail trail for buy for podcast.

1:21.2

If you like going off-roading in Toyotas, wrenching on Toyotas, camping in Toyotas,

1:23.5

and maybe even poking a little bit of fun of Toyotas.

1:28.6

And of course, hearing about how fantastic nachos are to the yodas.

1:32.2

Then this is the podcast for you.
