Summary
Tyler tells us all about his Rubicon Work Party and how much work they got done to help maintain the Rubicon Trail. There were about 24 people who showed up, and they got the work done in about 3 hours. OnX Off-Road also gave a ton of swag and two Ego 18″ Chainsaws for giveaway items. Then Tyler had to drive around to the Tahoma side of the Rubicon Trail to help air everyone up as they were leaving Jeepers Jamboree.

| 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 |
| 0:43.6 | I'm throwing the body off the chassis anymore. I just have one question. What's that? |
| 0:47.4 | When are we putting some four wheel underground parts underneath Samantha? Soon. Very soon. |
| 0:51.4 | And I'm excited to do so. And if you are looking to move your vehicle from Lee Springs to a linked suspension kit, |
| 0:58.0 | make sure to check out 4-wheel underground.com. |
| 1:17.1 | Welcome, one, welcome, awesome. Welcome to the Snell Trail 4-5-4 podcast. |
| 1:20.0 | If you're going out of 30 and theaters, rent-fying on here. It's a champion, theaters, and maybe even talking a little bit of fun of fighters. |
| 1:22.6 | And, of course, the Al-Fandcast. |
| 2:02.0 | Kind of mildly-grossing you. That's right, ladies to terms, my name is Tyler, and joining me for another episode of Snail Trail 4 by 4 podcast, Jimmy Chet. How you do, man? I'm doing very well. Today's a good day. Thanks for asking. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't ask how your day was. I just had to how you were. Doing well. And it is a good day. Okay. Whatever. All right. Just throwing that out there. Oh, that's good, man. Happy Monday. Yeah. A Monday to you. Happy Monday. Everybody out out there hopefully everybody had a great weekend today we got kind of a little bit of a catch-up episode yes since I had a |
| 2:07.9 | little bit of a crazy week last week but everything's doing a lot better now and so now I can |
| 2:12.1 | tell about the fun times that were had out on the Rubicon last last last weekend, whatever it was. But we have some |
| 2:21.2 | things to get into. For sure. I've got a lot of questions. So before we get there, let's talk about |
| 2:28.0 | when we get to 800 reviews on Apple Podcast. We are giving away an on-X elite membership. |
