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.

1:30.1	If you like going off-roading in rovers, wrenching on rovers, camping in rovers, maybe poking a little bit of fun at rovers, and of course, hearing about how portals can go on rovers, then this is the podcast for you. Hey, everybody, my name is Jimmy Jett,

1:45.6	who you probably can guess by the title of this episode,
1:49.2	who that might be.
