Super excited about this years Rebelle Rally! Our Sarek 90 is being driven by Jenna Fribley and Liza Beres! We have made some mods for the rally and are wishing them lots of luck. You can follow along at the Rebelle webside and also watch the live broadcasts daily on YouTube.

Ralf - I’ve been following on social media; it looks like the event is over?

Can you give us a synopsis? How did the Defender team do? Any challenges they had to overcome? Did your modifications help them get to the finish line?

Team 155 finished 11th overall. Very good finish for the 10th anniversary of this event. 67 teams wih a lot of returning veterans. Jenna and liza gave very positive feedback on the 90 and how it is set up including the re-gearing and the durable front end.

Ok, you got all my attention with the word ''re-gearing''. Can you please elaborate ??? I'm from the serious Jeep crowd and therefore always regear when oversizing tires. Can't believe how the ''serious'' LR crowd go up to 35s without regearing. Couldn't care less if the vehicle seems to turn the tires ''just fine'', the vehicle is out of its optimum rpm range and you end-up with a less capable Defender.

Anyways, what's the gear make and is it a straighforward install for someone used to install Dana, G2 or yukon gears ??

Thanks.

Rebelle is mega cool, and always looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Hopefully one day they open it up to men, too, or do a separate event that allows men. Can't let the girls have all the fun!

You'll never guess what vehicle came third. I'll give you a clue. It rhymes with Blenadier.


But is all seriousness. This looks so cool. Well done Sarek and team. Superb stuff

Yes, this is a p300 so it comes with 4.10 gearsets. We installed 4.44 gearsets to get back to a stock ratio tonthe ground. You dont realize how of a difference this makes until the gears go in.

Indeed! Warner had at least 3 entries and was also a major sponsor. You could tell they put a lot of time, training, money and experience into their podium. Would love to see JLR/ dealer represent like this.

Maybe Lucky8 could do that next year - they seem to have some affiliation with LR.
