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

1:17.5	Welcome one, welcome all to the Snail Trail 4x4 podcast.
1:30.0	If you like going off-roading in Toyotas, wrenching on Toyotas, camping in Toyotas, maybe poking a little bit of fun at Toyotas, and of course, hearing about how awesome off-roading is in Colorado, then this is the podcast for you.
1:37.8	Hey, everybody, I'm Jimmy Jett, and I'm alone in the studio at this current moment, but I do
1:43.2	have a fun guest interviewer that's hanging
1:45.8	on the line right now. I have him on mute in the virtual studio. He's just watching my lips move
1:51.9	and he's kind of probably wondering what the hell is going on. And he's going to have to hold on
1:56.3	for just a second while I do a little bit of housekeeping. But then we're going to jump right over to this fun interview today.
2:03.8	Let's see.
