Defender round up: Surf Edition, Imitation Rovers, Defender Sport, Barbara Toy Book Giveaway

Defender round up: Surf Edition, Imitation Rovers, Defender Sport, Barbara Toy Book Giveaway

This week on the Underpowered Hour, we’ve got a lot of business to catch up on! 


First up, DriveTribe has done a video about our friend Julian Schoolheifer’s restoration of the very first production Land Rover, JUE 477. If you haven’t listened to our interview with Julien, be sure to go back a few episodes and check out our replay to get the whole story.  Link below to the video we talk about. 


Next up, there’s a unique Red Camel Trophy car up on Bring a Trailer; the guys recorded this a few hours before the auction closed, so Ike and Steve debate whether the fact that it is red helps or hinders the collectible nature of the vehicle. (Check out the BAT listing below, and click through the comments to find out what happened when the auction closed).


And word on the street is that a new, mallet, all electric Defender has been confirmed for 2027. Will it be called Defender Sport? Why not, there’s already a Range Rover Sport and a Discovery Sport. Seems fitting, even if Bronco has jumped on that bandwagon too. 


Then, we’ve got a favorite segment we call “Love It, Can’t Have It”, and this time we’re drooling over the German market Surf Defender in coveted Marine Blue. Consider this our official petition to make that color available in the rest of the world. Who knew that the luxury SUV market in Germany was synonymous with surfing? 🏄‍♂️


Then, we’re dishing on Immitation Rovers: Modern edition, and noting how the recently released Toyota Land Cruiser and the Hyundai Santa Fe are certainly borrowing some features from the new Defender. Particularly surprising is everyone’s obsession with copying the spice rack- we make fun of it a lot, but the market trends suggest people dig theirs! What do you put in your spice rack?


Lastly, we’re wrapping up with a giveaway. Tag us in your photos of you and your rover before Friday, Aug 18, and we’ll be giving out a copy of “In Search of Sheba” by Barbara Toy. For more entries, head over to Patreon and become a Patron for more opportunities to win. More details to follow.

Land Rover G4 Challenge: Re-tracing the route 20 years later

Land Rover G4 Challenge: Re-tracing the route 20 years later

20 years ago, Land Rover held the first ever G4 Challenge.  A global marketing event designed to showcase the newest model of Range Rover, Freelander, Defender and Discovery, the event took place over four weeks in four different global locations. The fourth and final stage of the event took the competitors on a breathtaking 800+ mile route from Las Vegas, NV, to Moab, UT.  


So how do you pay homage to this iconic part of Rover history? Well, if you’re So-cal resident and rover enthusiast Steve Cooper, you find a few fellow G4 Range Rover owners who own the original competition vehicles here in the US, and set out to recreate the route taken by the original competitors.  And to do that, you reach out to none other than Land Rover photographer extraordinaire himself, Mr. Nick Dimbleby, who photographed the original event.


Liza joins Ike this week as they interview Steve Cooper, who dreamed up this harebrained recreation, and Chris Georgacas, who deciphered Nick’s notes and maps for this epic road trip. The four are joined by Nick Dimbleby himself, who gives us all some excellent insight into the original event.


Hear about some of the fun and adventure that was had by the gang as four of the original eight left hand drive Range Rovers used for the event re-traced the steps.  Joined by the Underpowered Hour’s very own Liza and Abigail to document the fun, this adventure was undertaken by true enthusiasts of the best 4x4xfar.



Car 1: Steve and Dixie

Car 2: Chris 

Car 3: Alex  and Sue

Car 4: Luke and Andy

Car 5: Liza and Abigail 


*Cars 1 through 4 were all original, competition used G4 Range Rovers.  Liza and Abigail drove Liza’s 2022 Trek Defender.

Rover chat: Ike and Steve talk AI art, Forklift Follies, Convertible Defender Conversions, and "From the Archives: Disneyworld Rovers"

Rover chat: Ike and Steve talk AI art, Forklift Follies, Convertible Defender Conversions, and "From the Archives: Disneyworld Rovers"

This week's episode has our heroic hosts chatting about all sorts of interesting Land Rover related topics.


1:20 First, JLR is making money, and business is up! Seems they're making money: profit, revenue and free cash flow are all up.

2:50 Steve has been working on some interesting AI research for work, and talks about the AI generated art work he produced using those tools. Its interesting to see what AI thinks about Land Rovers based on the information its been given.

9:10 Convertible Land Rover Defender 90 conversions- that's new defenders, not old ones. The guys break down their thoughts about it, and some considerations about turning a modern car into a convertible. How does this conversion compare to the Bronco or the Jeeps that come from the factory with soft tops? Ike and Steve give their opinions.

15:10 Steve finally got rid of the widowmaker, and in the words of Liza, "This is the stupidest thing [Steve's] ever done". Watch our socials this week for a video of the widowmaker being winched by a Defender into a truck and nearly destroying it in the process...

22:00 Ike has a new segment we're calling "From the Archives". This week, he talks about the infamous Land Rovers used in the early construction of Disneyworld in Florida, and Ike has some ideas how that deal came to be that Disney should purchase 49 Series IIA pickup trucks with PTOs for mowing roadside.

27:00 Did a Land Rover expedition to South America actually install snake venom sucking apparatus onto their manifolds? Listen to Ike tell us what he's learned.

Road to Cooma: Getting to the worlds largest Land Rover festival in Series Ones

Last month, Cooma, Australia played host to the largest celebration for Land Rover’s 75th Anniversary.  The Pangolin crew of Ike, Linus, Jenna and Maddie made the pilgrimage to the land down under for this momentous occasion. But, before they could get to the Cooma festivities, first they had to embark on an epic drive from Melbourne to Cooma in an impressive assortment of vintage Series One Land Rovers (with a few black sheep). Hear tales of misadventure, told the way only Linus and Ike can tell it, from exploding drive shafts, swapping out gas tanks, perilous water crossings, and a mysterious Button Man…
