Summary
Jimmy talks about his last trip of summer camping with Tayler the Trailer. He and the family went to a small campground outside Nevada City and had some fun Lake Time. Tyler, on the other hand, got elbows deep into Kermit. He pulled out the motor and started working on the crossover pipe and many other small jobs.

| 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 |
| 0:43.5 | 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. And I'm |
| 0:51.7 | excited to do so. And if you are looking to move your vehicle from |

| 1:16.8 | Welcome one. welcome all to the snail trail 4-5-4 podcast. |
| 1:20.8 | If you like going off-roading in Toyoters, wrenching on Toyos, camping in Toyos, |
| 1:23.8 | and maybe even poking a little bit of fun at Toyos and, of course, |
| 1:31.1 | hearing about how fantastic pulling engines out of Toyoters are, then this is the podcast for you. That's right. Ladies and Terms, my name is Tyler joining me for another episode of |
| 1:36.7 | the Snow Trail 4x4 by 4 podcast. Jimmy. Is Jimmy Chan over there? What up? It's a little jet. |
| 1:43.5 | Little jet. A little jet. Oh, that's your new nickname. You just your good little jet. Yay. Now, I got Jimmy in the house. How you doing, man? Good. Thanks. How are you? Doing pretty good. Nice. I'm a little tired. Oh. Not bad, though. You had to wake up early this morning? No, I've been waking up early |
| 2:03.4 | the last two mornings. Oh. I got to actually like wake up at a normal time. Okay. |
| 2:08.4 | So we'll talk about that in a little bit. Okay. Sounds good. Uh, let's see. What do we got on |
