| 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. |
| 1:16.3 | Welcome, one, welcome. Who this Nailtrial 4-5-4 podcast. |
| 1:20.6 | If you got going off-roading in Toyoters, wrenching on Toyota, camping in Toyota's, |
| 1:23.3 | and even poking a little bit of fun at Toyota's. |
| 2:19.9 | And, of course, hearing about how fantastic racing in Toyoters is, and this is the podcast for you. That's right. Let me listen to hear him. My name is Tyler. And joining me in front of the episode of Snowdrop 4x4 by 4 podcast. Jimmy. That guy. Mua. This guy over here on the couch. How are you doing, man? I'm doing good. I'm doing very good. Thank you. How are you? I'm doing pretty well. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Life is rolling. Definitely is. Rolling right along. I'm looking forward to camping and wheeling this weekend. Yeah. How was that since it's Monday? Is it Monday? Oh, it is Monday. It was great. The mule did awesome. Didn't have any issues with it. Very comfy. Perfect. So it made room, room noises, which is always fun. Yeah, it was good. We had a good trip. So we'll tell you guys that about that on Thursday. Yeah. And all the rain we got. Let's see today on the docket for you guys. We have a guest in the studio. He actually drove down to the studio, which was pretty cool to see him and chat with him |
| 2:24.9 | in person. Really cool dude. I didn't know very much at all of his background. No, I knew nothing. |
| 2:29.9 | Kind of where he came from. I just knew that he drove a red Toyota at King and the Hammers. |
| 2:35.3 | And he's got some really fun stories. He sounds like a really fun dude to go hang out around |
| 2:39.8 | a campfire with, go wheeling with, just make sure your winch is ready to go. |
