    No-Limit Rang Rover SV

    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. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 01:23 Freelander 8 Presale Buzz 02:12 Chinese Car Bans and Ownership 04:01 The LADY Seat Controversy 05:13 Wheelander and Jimny Jokes 06:44 China Stock Clearance and Super Factory 08:28 Range Rover Model Explosion 09:21 Range Rover GT Road Rover 11:51 No Price Limit Special Editions 14:39 Sauna Load Space Wishlist 15:46 Ridiculous Options and Steel Wheels 16:11 Farm Gear Mods 16:26 Forbidden Luxury Interiors 17:28 Wild Range Rover Features 18:21 Just Make It Reliable 19:37 JLR Bad Publicity Budget 21:47 BYD Defender Clone 26:07 Workshop Support Truck Plans 27:39 Race Car Build Update 28:45 New GS Motorcycle Talk 30:24 Chicken Alaska And Denny's 31:31 Closing Trail Signoff

    National Rally Recap

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss are joined by Linus and special guest Alex Massy to cover Land Rover news and recap the Land Rover National Rally in Ouray, Colorado. They discuss JLR cutting 300 jobs and a UK leadership shuffle after a cyberattack, the end of the Discovery Sport, and a Monterey Car Week auction of a one-of-one matched pair: a restored 1993 Range Rover Classic and a 2027 Range Rover SV Ultra, estimated at $750,000–$950,000. The group recounts driving from Oregon, tire and emissions issues with modern tow vehicles, high-altitude trail runs up to 13,000 feet, the beauty of Ouray and nearby mining towns, and monsoon rains that caused mudslides, closed trails, and led many attendees to leave early. They highlight event amenities, presentations, and a Camel Trophy film night. 00:00 Show Intro And Hosts 01:18 Guests And Rally Tease 02:00 JLR Job Cuts Talk 03:44 Discovery Sport Cancelled 05:57 Monterey Range Rover Pair 08:16 Auction Price Guessing 12:36 Rally Trip Begins 15:53 Road Trip Mishaps 17:52 Trails And Elevation 18:19 Carb Trouble at Altitude 19:02 Ouray Views and Town 19:35 Rally Car Mix Shifts 21:48 Monsoon Mudslides 23:25 Camping and Trail Logistics 24:49 Alex Highlights Mining Ruins 27:09 Shoutouts and Trophy Defender 29:53 Vendors Classes and Camp Movie 33:04 Destination Defender Roast 34:59 Wrap Up and Credits

They review 2027 Defender updates and pricing, including the Octa’s horsepower drop, engine lineup changes, new seating and accessories, and a self-healing wrap, plus JLR’s renewable-material tire initiative and a 2027 Range Rover option for real buttons. They note designer Giorgetto Giugiaro’s rollover in a Defender 110 with no major injury, then enter “Recall Corner” for Discovery rear-camera flooding and a large Ford Bronco recall, and close with a Matchbox movie trailer featuring a Defender 6x6 pickup. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 01:17 Missing the Rally 02:01 Freelander for Sale 02:48 Range Rover GT Reveal 06:16 EV Preorders and Tour 07:24 Freelander 8 Roadshow 09:10 Lady Seat Controversy 12:15 2027 Defender Changes 14:33 Detuning and Tuning Talk 15:22 Defender New Options 16:14 Self Healing Wrap Talk 16:32 Rice Husk Tires 17:26 Buttons Return Range Rover 19:03 Giugiaro Rollover Story 21:00 Recall Corner JLR 21:46 Bronco Recall Comparison 23:23 Defender Forums No Fix 24:15 Land Rovers In Movies 24:34 Matchbox Movie Trailer 27:07 John Cena Movie Debate 29:03 Wrap Up And Credits

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss recap Goodwood news, including JLR’s fully electric Range Rover with an estimated 300-mile EPA range, a $130,000 starting price, and confirmation of a Range Rover Sport EV, plus a new single JLR app replacing multiple remote apps. They discuss JLR halting China-market vehicle production at its Chengshu plant as it shifts to building the Freelander under a Chery joint venture while continuing exports to China. The pair then tour notable Bring a Trailer listings, including a refurbished, bright orange Turkish Autocar-built Defender 110 with a carbureted 3.5 V8 and a heavily dented front differential, and a rare NAS Defender-style yellow camping trailer with a fold-out tent and period-correct details.

    Joker Defenders & Sedan-ified Velar

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss open with Steve’s trip to Eugene/Springfield and an update on his rough-but-charming 1998 Defender high-capacity pickup, which needs multiple repairs but may become a support vehicle rather than a full restoration. In the news, they react to Range Rover’s “British Summertime Collection” of lifestyle goods like blankets, purses, tea sets, and parasols featuring the new stacked-R logo, joking that the brand has become a purse company. They also discuss JLR’s color-shifting “Spectral Green” Works V8 Defenders with white interiors and roll cages, compare the look to the Joker, and mention recent Wall Street Journal coverage of vintage Defender demand. The episode closes with spy-shot talk of a new Velar that looks more sedan-like and plans to attend the Ouray, Colorado national rally (July 26–30), including a possible live show. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 01:21 Steve Arrives in Oregon 02:26 Croatian Farm Truck Check 04:05 Plans for the High Cap 04:58 Range Rover Summer Merch 08:56 Color Shifting Works V8 12:43 Wall Street Journal Hype 16:22 JLR Trends and EV Pivots 19:15 New Velar Spy Shots 24:45 MaxTrax Wellness and Rally 26:30 Ouray Event Wrap Up

    Border-Crossing & Sheep Detectives

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss discuss Steve traveling to Vancouver, Canada to pick up a Land Rover pickup and bring it into the U.S., deciding to pay the chicken tax and debating whether to tow it due to worn tires. They cover reports of JLR profits dropping sharply and sales down 15%, talk about JLR’s U.S.-market strategy including a potential partnership with Stellantis and building Land Rovers in the U.S. to avoid tariffs, and mention the upcoming all-electric Range Rover reveal at Goodwood with a 77,000-person waitlist. They also touch on an airbag recall tied to corrosion and a stop-sale, share that cast member Linus Tremaine was hit by an uninsured drunk driver while driving a late-1920s Lincoln (he’s okay), update on a decal-covered 1958 Series II 109 pickup restoration, and preview the Ouray National Rally with a planned live show and guests.

    Russian Hackers, Recalls & Insta-Rovers

    Steve Beres and guest co-host Liza cover a week of JLR-heavy news while Ike Goss and Jenna attend Overland Expo. They discuss New York Times reporting on the major JLR cyberattack, including claims of Russian involvement, a simultaneous breach by a Jordanian hacker, Microsoft’s role in reporting the incident, and the estimated $2.5B impact on the UK economy. The episode also reviews a new JLR stop-sale recall affecting about 250,000 SUVs for driver airbag issues, alongside other recent recalls and a 23% sales downturn. They react to plans to price upcoming JLR EVs higher than gas models, highlight the new China-market Freelander with Chery, and note CEO changes at JLR North America as Leonard Hoenek replaces Joe Eberhardt, who stays on as a consultant tied to a controversial Stellantis Defender project. The show debuts “Insta-Rovers,” rating extreme Defender builds and questioning which are real versus AI.

    Sara Price - Defender Rally & Stunt Person

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss (joined by Jenna) welcome off-road racer and stunt performer Sara Price, a Land Rover Defender Dakar team member and second-place finisher, to discuss her path from starting motocross at age eight to turning pro at 16, entering the stunt industry in LA, and transitioning into side-by-sides, trophy trucks, a 2019 Baja Championship win, and driving the full Baja 1000 solo for 19.5 hours. Price explains how she self-funded her first Dakar via the Road to Dakar, how Dakar teams and vehicles differ from U.S. racing, and how she joined Land Rover after a Facebook message. She shares key Dakar moments including winning the prologue, early suspension damage, a dangerous dune incident, and the Defender’s performance and support, plus post-Dakar races in Portugal and Argentina and her E1 electric hydrofoil boat racing.
