Show notes
Stephen Beres and Ike Goss recap Destination Defender in Temecula, including extreme heat, ride-alongs, e-bikes, gourmet food trucks, a Defender museum display, and the on-site PRS Guitars collaboration featuring Defender-themed Silver Sky guitars inspired by John Mayer’s 1997 Defender 90, with limited classic-color runs and standard modern-color versions. They then re-air Jenna and Liza’s live panel as Team Overlander, explaining the women-only Rebelle Rally’s map-and-compass format, checkpoint strategy, and camp life, and walking through five consecutive years running different Defenders: a classic NAS 90, two JLR-provided Defender 130s, and a modified Saric 90, plus preparation practices like carrying two spares and key parts. They preview the upcoming October Rebelle coverage and share plans to build a 1972 two-door Range Rover for NORRA Baja 1000 and a 2028 Dakar Classic goal.00:00 Show Intro00:36 Meet The Hosts01:19 Destination Defender Recap02:38 Event Highlights And Heat04:01 Defender Museum And Friends05:20 PRS Defender Guitars09:15 Collab Ideas And Jokes12:59 Should You Buy One14:20 Jenna And Liza Panel Setup16:22 Cue The Live Recording16:44 Rebelle Rally Basics18:22 Desert Routes And Basecamp Life20:56 Map Compass Strategy23:31 Checkpoint Types And Mindset25:39 Year One Classic D9028:09 JLR Defender 130 Breakthrough31:21 Silt Year And Lessons33:14 Sarek 90 Redemption Run37:11 Year Five Build And Car Tour38:11 Packing Spares And Tire Survival43:18 Friendship And Whats Next45:39 Podcast Wrap And Credits
