Summary

Tyler was able to find some time and do a little work on Kermit. He had a few discussions with Premiere Power Welder and Dakota Lithium about what happened to his alternator. Could it be that the Lithium battery was able to accept too much power? Meanwhile, Jimmy and the Assistant went out to a fundraiser for the Mini-assistant's theater. Afterward, they went to a local speakeasy and had horrible service. Only a few more days for the 15% discount code with DuroBumps. Use discount code SnailTrail4x4 to get 15% off sitewide.

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.
0:11.3	It honestly does great in both scenarios.
0:13.6	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
0:21.3	that goes a lot to show how well it's engineered, how well the roll center is controlled,
0:26.4	and how well the geometry all goes together. No matter what I'm doing, I feel stable. I feel predictable.
0:31.4	It's fantastic. That makes a lot of sense because they are designed to be great on and off road.
0:39.4	That's true. I do drive the rig to and from the trails as well. And I noticed on tight, windy mountain roads, I don't feel like
