The Underpowered Hour

Stephen Beres and Ike Goss cover Land Rover news and community updates, including a recall affecting nearly 94,000 new Range Rovers that requires drilling a tailgate drain hole to prevent backup camera water intrusion. They discuss a couple converting a former Land Rover dealership in Derbyshire, England into a five-bedroom home with space for about 50 cars, and Land Rover’s paid factory option to delete the Defender 90’s rear spare tire. The hosts recap Halloween activities in Oregon and riding in a Land Rover firetruck, then talk Land Rover “celebrity” sightings featuring Noah Wyle with a Series Land Rover and Kendall Jenner driving a well-kept P38 Range Rover. They review a Bring a Trailer listing for a 2000 Defender 110 TD5 Camel Trophy tribute, critiquing details like limb lifters, stickers, and accessories, and close with rally-team supporter prizes and a note on changing import and duty issues.

Steve Beres is joined by Liza, Jenna, and special co-host Brodie Peariso for a day-by-day recap of Team 155’s 2026 Rebelle Rally, comparing Brodie’s “dots” coverage to what actually happened on course. They discuss early scoring frustrations from plotting errors, dialing in pacing and black-checkpoint accuracy, friendly competition etiquette, and memorable moments including Utah sheriffs cheering them on, map-scale changes, enduro key-time confusion, the rainout and course pull on the photo scavenger hunt day, flash-flood highway crossings, and tight time decisions. The team details highs and lows in Johnson Valley (including tracker confusion, zeros, a ruler-scale mistake, and a late penalty), emotional redemption in the dunes, Oldsmobile Hill, and a sandstorm finale, then thanks sponsors and promotes an online fundraiser with prizes and a November 15 drawing deadline.

They celebrate Team 155’s best-ever result with a P4 finish, a stage win, and a Pennzoil Challenge win that came with a championship belt and a VIP trip to the Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas, while thanking Ralph and Kathleen for the loaned truck. Liza and Jenna tease stories about extreme weather (a hurricane hit at base camp one, flash flooding en route to base camp two, and a sandstorm at base camp three), tracker issues, a near checkpoint mistake, and an unrevealed “boo-boo” to the vehicle. The hosts invite audience questions via Instagram, YouTube, or their website, mention a Land Rover documentary screening in Santa Monica, and thank sponsors and partners.

On the penultimate day of the Rebelle Rally 2026, hosts Steve Beres and Brodie Peariso recap Team 155’s performance after a 305 km transit day to the dunes, where the rally will finish tomorrow. Despite a few mid-day mishaps, the team placed 13th on the day with 181 points (about 80% of available points), keeping them 4th overall with 1,210 points (86%); they sit 71 points off first and 34 points behind third, with only a 2% accuracy gap to third place. They discuss the public finish line event, family attending (including both moms), awards and the dinner gala, and touch on other competing Land Rovers, including a Series II Discovery that barely passed tech and a classic Defender that’s running strong, before previewing a final-day update depending on connectivity.

Steve Beres and Brodie Peariso recap a tough Day 6 of the 2026 Rebel Rally, using the Rebel Rally dashboard to review a team’s timeline and track. Despite collecting many checkpoints and performing well enough for a potential first-place stage score, the team incurred a 35-point penalty from arriving late to base camp and three wide misses, including trouble at difficult 8X and 9X checkpoints that only 12 teams reached. They discuss how wide misses create major point damage, speculate about terrain issues in Johnson Valley, and note a possible timing question around a 5:00 PM check-in. The day ends 13th with 225 points minus penalties (190), dropping from 3rd to 4th overall at 1,029 points, still within reach. They preview a southbound transit day to the dunes and changing sand conditions.

They note strategy differences among teams, Barlow winning the stage with rookie Hurricane, and that an early arrival at CP6 cost half points, keeping the team just off second for the day while first place remains a close tie at 93%. They discuss team 122’s alternator and battery failure leading to a tow and walking in, broader vehicle wear and flooding risks, later start times skewing midday standings, and looming difficult days, dunes, and incoming weather. They also highlight Liza and Jenna leading the privateer Pennzoil Challenge with 202 points over 190.

They highlight Team 155 tying for first on the day for their first stage win, noting their only notable points loss came at checkpoint 10, and that the result moves them into second overall behind strong competition including Laura Wanless in a Ford Racing Bronco Raptor. The hosts discuss rain, flooding, water crossings, and a rain delay, plus how Serac’s Defender modifications help protect vulnerable intercoolers in rough conditions. They invite viewer questions, preview base camp two and upcoming Southern California dunes, and share how to sponsor the team via theunderpoweredhour.com for a prize drawing.

Ken shares his early four-wheel-drive roots, Camel Trophy 1996 in Borneo, and later work as a Land Rover driving instructor and in high-level military mobility training. They explain CAM (Cameron Advanced Mobility), covering long-range self-supported vehicle operations, navigation, recovery, and vehicle preservation, plus military applications including fighting from and around vehicles and evolving threats like drones. They also touch on vehicle platform variety, field repairs, and end with a quick lightning round.

The hosts recap Rebelle Rally Day 3, which was suspended mid-morning due to adverse weather and terrain, noting they’ve never seen the entire field pulled for rain before. They explain the decision was about safety and preventing irreparable damage to sensitive ground—especially from heavy vehicles like Bronco Raptors—and how worsening ruts can make the course unfair for teams starting later. Today’s planned 384 km, difficulty-rated 1.5–2/5, was halted after five checkpoints, with only those points counting. Liza and Jenna earned all 45 possible points in the first five checkpoints, landing in a 13-way tie for first on the stage and moving to fourth overall. They discuss the fog, marshy clay “marshmallow” conditions, vehicle durability concerns without full mechanical support, upcoming dunes affected by weather, and where to follow and sponsor the team.

Steve Beres and Brodie “dot watcher” Peariso recap day two of the 2026 Rebelle , focusing on Team 155’s standout performance. Brodie says it may be their best day in five years, with near-perfect precision across checkpoints and a rare 20/20 score on the on-time enduro, achieved by only a handful of teams. Team 155 finishes third for the day and sits fifth overall after two days, as a privately funded, purpose-built Land Rover Defender team competing among factory-backed Ford Raptor entries. They discuss the 360 km route to Eureka, Nevada, weather concerns from hurricane fallout, the grueling 12-hour marathon day, and anticipation for tougher upcoming terrain and a “big surprise” on day three, plus where to follow updates online.

Day one of the 2026 Rebelle Rally kicks off with a recap of the transit from Las Vegas Motor Speedway into a Nevada/Utah border region and an overview of the new live scoring dashboard that enables real-time checkpoint tracking, despite adding to score anxiety. Team 155 has a standout start, finishing 10th out of 41 teams with 194 points—about 90% of available points and just 14 points behind the leader—highlighting a tight top-10 spread where meters matter. The hosts discuss today’s 377 km loop, fuel-hungry terrain, the team’s lighter Defender 90 setup, and concerns about incoming storm weather ahead of tomorrow’s marathon stage. They also promote a fundraising giveaway for future events via underpoweredhour.com, featuring prizes like Roamerdrives, Zarges cases, and other gear, plus directions to follow updates on Instagram.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss a pickup-truck-heavy news week, including reports that Land Rover may pursue a U.S.-market pickup despite earlier claims the monocoque Defender platform couldn’t support one, potentially via partnering with a manufacturer with U.S. production. They review a UK Ministry of Defense light mobility vehicle competition to replace the aging Defender Wolf fleet, highlighting Land Rover’s new Defender-based military variants (including a tray-back pickup and tube-buggy-style patrol vehicle) alongside entries from INEOS, Toyota/Babcock, Ford/General Dynamics (including a 6x6 Ranger Super Duty), Mercedes/Rheinmetall, GM/Team Lionstrike, and others, plus observations about serviceability, interiors, and surprisingly street-oriented tires. They also cover a Freelander hybrid altitude Guinness record, Kim Basinger’s 1997 NAS Defender auction, a Ted Lasso Series IIA cameo, and tease next week’s Destination Defender Rebelle presentation.00:00 Show Intro and Hosts01:09 Defender Pickup Rumors02:36 US Tariffs and Partnerships04:40 Military RFP Reveals Pickup05:56 Competitors INEOS and Toyota08:08 Ford Ranger Super Duty09:55 Defender Trayback Design Talk11:36 Other Entries Mercedes and GM14:17 Tires and US Military Contrast14:58 AM General and Oshkosh Updates16:07 Final Contender Tease16:17 Hybrid Tube Buggy17:57 NATO Contract Stakes18:44 Military Tech Serviceability21:03 Freelander Altitude Record22:41 Celebrity Defender Auction26:27 Ted Lasso Land Rover28:19 Destination Defender Recap29:58 Wrap Up Credits

The hosts discuss a UK climate expert planning to drive an electrified Series I Land Rover around the world to raise climate-change awareness, noting the practical challenges of charging and the likelihood of mechanical failures despite the EV conversion. They then cover Land Rover’s improved showing in J.D. Power’s U.S. quality survey, moving to the middle of the pack, and debate what the results say about reliability versus owner expectations. Next, they talk about Land Rover using AI in vehicle testing to “listen” for fault-related sounds and analyze large testing datasets to catch problems earlier. The episode also updates the UK military’s upcoming Defender replacement trials, including multiple Land Rover variants (general service, ambulance, tactical transport, and utility modification) and comparisons with other bidders. Finally, they preview Destination Defender in Temecula, including a Defender museum and a panel with Rebelle Rally drivers Jenna and Liza, plus planned video coverage and a walkaround of the new Rebelle Defender 90.

They cover signs JLR may revive a military-style “Defender Wolf Series 2,” potentially to compete against vehicles like a Toyota Hilux-based platform and the Ineos Grenadier. Ike recaps the All British Field Meet in Portland, where Land Rover was absent as an exhibitor but Ineos Grenadier was a featured sponsor, and highlights the strong turnout of Range Rover Classics and Series trucks, including Steve driving his 1957 109 pickup. They review a Bring a Trailer LS3-swapped, six-speed 1976 Series III build that failed to sell near $100,000, and close with updates on a re-emerged Forest Rover and progress on another Forest Rover restoration.

They cover news that the all-new electric Defender has been delayed again, now to 2030, as JLR focuses on electric Range Rover models. They also discuss a major Range Rover steering knuckle recall that is being “recalled” because prior repairs may have used incorrect parts and the new fix is still pending. The hosts review the sale of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz’s Series II pickup, noting its restoration details and features, and that it sold for $56,000. They mention Gerry McGovern’s departure from JLR, a Discovery 2’s plot role in the film "Bodies Bodies Bodies," and Jenna assembling two two-door Range Rovers into one for racing.

Steve and Ike discuss King Charles’ Defender selling at auction for about £67,000 (well above the ~£40,000 estimate) and then dig into uncertainty around proposed 25% tariffs on foreign-made vehicles and parts slated for April 2nd, including questions about how they’d affect imports already on the water, used/antique parts, and compounding with existing taxes like the chicken tax; they note market reactions such as GM and Tata Motors share drops. Ike also recounts receiving a packed 20-foot container from Australia containing multiple Land Rovers and parts, including a Series I factory welder project and two Series I 80-inch restorations. They briefly mention a Land Rover credit-fraud scheme ending in a three-year sentence and preview a short episode with more guests and event recaps next week.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss Jaguar Land Rover’s Q1 results, including a £109M profit before tax (2.8% EBITDA) that’s down 68.9% year-over-year and a free cash flow balance of -£998M, speculating it reflects heavy spending on new models and facilities and inviting an accountant to explain it. They cover the Freelander 8 presale delay due to Typhoon Dolphin, pricing around $50,000 with a $68,000 limited launch edition, and its unusual featured details. The hosts recap Monterey Car Week news: Sotheby’s sold a 2007 SV Ultra and a 1993 Range Rover Classic for about $967K, plus notes about export and California sales restrictions, and they mention the $248K Range Rover SV Pearl Lustre benefiting the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. They also touch on the Dakar Defender Octa edition, an Octa used as a land-speed-record push vehicle, attend Mogfest in Oregon, and share workshop updates including transporting vehicles, clutch work, and Ike acquiring a 1965 Series IIA 109 pickup with a rear PTO.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss the presale launch of Chery’s new Freelander 8 and why Chinese vehicles face bans in places like the United States while gaining ground in the UK, including ownership-related legislation that impacted Polestar. They react to the Freelander’s “L-A-D-Y” passenger-seat acronym, joke about future models, and note rising JLR China profits as old Evoque stock clears and a former plant becomes a “Freelander Super Factory.” The conversation shifts to the new Range Rover GT—low roofline, minimal ground clearance, and built on JLR’s new electromodal architecture—plus Range Rover removing pricing limits for bespoke builds after a reported $550,000 example. They also cover a 50 million PR budget, a BYD/“Ti7” Defender-like SUV copy headed to Europe, workshop prep for NORRA Baja support vehicles, race-car parts arriving, and motorcycle trip plans.
