Description
In this episode of The Underpowered Hour, Steve Beres and Ike Goss dive into a variety of automotive topics, starting with JLR's announcement of the OKTA launch date, designed for easy access for octogenarians. They joke about its features like low suspension and prescription drug compartments. The episode shifts gears as they welcome Nick Cimmarusti, known as Nick Guyver, discussing his experiences repairing rally cars in deserts, converting a Dodge Power Wagon into a tow truck, and guiding Rubicon trail adventures. Nick also shares stories of emergency rally repairs, including welding broken axles and JB Weld fixes. The discussion includes his least and most reliable vehicles during rallies and ends with insights into his project, a Land Rover Discovery, including his plans despite its notorious unreliability.
