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.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss welcome Liza and Jenna back from the Rebelle Rally 2026 for a quick, tired-but-excited recap ahead of a longer decompression episode. 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.
