Episode 80: Ned & Jeep of MTS Off-Road
In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, I'm on location at UTV Takeover in Coos Bay, Oregon with special guest, Ned Ellsworth and Jeep Porter of MTS Off-Road Suspension Tuning! We've wanted to have them on the show for a long time now and we finally tracked them down, pulled them away from tuning shocks, and had a great conversation. We dive into what suspension tuning really is, what makes the biggest difference, how to approach tuning, if/how technology progression changes shock tuning, and so much more!
