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.

Hosts Steve Beres and Brodie Peariso recap Day 5 of the 2026 Rebelle Rally in Johnson Valley, describing a “choose your own adventure” stage with scattered checkpoints over about 290 km, some technical difficulties and a possible detour, yet Liza and Jenna finish third on the day and remain third overall after finding 91% of checkpoints. 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.

Steve Beres and Brodie Peariso recap day four of the 2026 Rebelle Rally, praising major upgrades to the YB Tracker dashboard and explaining the 515 km, 2.5-difficulty route from Nevada through Las Vegas and historic Route 66 to Roy’s Motor Inn as the first day of another marathon. 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.
