Welcome to Unpacked: Five Questions. In this episode host Katherine La Grave speaks with Afar contributor Chris Colin about his first safari — a family trip through Botswana that mixes biking, Land Cruisers, salt pans, and intimate wildlife encounters.

During his service with U.S. Pacific Command, Woodward developed strategic war games and deployed multiple times to the Persian Gulf and Far East, working alongside U.S. Special Operations Forces, the CIA, and NSA.After leaving the military, he earned his MBA and built a career in the tech sector, eventually leading international distribution marketing for Amazon Prime Video.

Car buying should be exciting, not a minefield of potential fraud and deception. Yet two alarming lawsuits from Florida reveal the dark side of automotive retail, where unsuspecting customers discovered their "new" vehicles had hidden histories. One buyer found his pristine Land Cruiser had nearly 5,000 miles on the odometer despite being sold as factory-fresh, while another learned her Jeep had previously been titled to a leasing company—information deliberately concealed during the sale.These cautionary tales highlight why thoroughly examining documentation before signing is crucial. As one host suggests, having an attorney review purchase papers might seem excessive, but could save thousands in the long run. While the vast majority of dealerships operate honestly, these instances remind us to verify everything independently, especially when significant investments are involved.Meanwhile, Ford Motor Company has established an unfortunate industry record with 89 recalls issued so far this year—more than the next five manufacturers combined. Their latest recall affects 850,000 vehicles with potential fuel pump failures that could cause dangerous engine stalling. Ford claims to be taking a "more proactive approach" to safety issues, but the sheer volume raises questions about underlying quality control.The automotive financing landscape continues to shift toward concerning territory. A record 19% of new vehicle buyers now commit to monthly payments exceeding $1,000, while 22% have stretched loan terms to 84 months or longer. These extended financing arrangements might make monthly payments more manageable but dramatically increase total ownership costs and potential negative equity situations.Electric vehicle adoption faces headwinds as well, with new EV registrations dropping 5.9% in May—the second consecutive monthly decline despite attractive incentives. With the $7,500 federal tax credit set to expire September 30th, potential buyers should consider acting soon if an electric vehicle is in their future plans.Whether you're shopping for your next vehicle or maintaining your current one, staying informed about these industrBe sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textThe line between determination and recklessness blurs in this captivating episode featuring Brendan Bramford, a hunter whose life story spans continents and carries the weight of generations of hunting tradition. Born in Zimbabwe where his father worked as a professional hunter, Brendan's earliest memories include riding in Land Cruisers on safari before his family fled political violence that claimed their home.Brendan's storytelling prowess shines as he recounts his first black bear harvest in Washington—a tale that begins with him answering nature's call behind camp and spotting what he thought was a burnt stump until it started moving. With his pants literally down, he managed to make the shot of a lifetime, creating a hunting memory equal parts successful and embarrassing.The heart of the episode centers on Brendan's remarkable elk hunt where stubborn determination overcame physical limitations. Just three days before a planned five-day backcountry archery hunt, Brendan severely sliced his forearm open, requiring extensive stitches. Against medical advice and common sense, he proceeded with the hunt, hiking eight miles into the wilderness with an 82-pound pack and his arm freshly bandaged. When the moment came to draw on his first bull elk, the searing pain nearly derailed the opportunity—but Brendan persevered through multiple shots and tracking to harvest his first archery elk.The episode closes with sobering stories of Brendan's family history hunting dangerous game in Africa, including his father being run over by a Cape buffalo and a family friend's recent horrific mauling by a leopard. These tales serve as powerful reminders of nature's raw power and the risks some hunters accept in pursuit of their passion.Are you ready to make your own hunting stories?

On this episode, Chris collaborates and co-hosts with Dan Simpson, the host of the Classic Land Cruisers Podcast.  When two classic 4x4 enthusiasts get a chance to pick each others brains, the conversation will inevitably end up about Land Cruisers.  They talk about their random encounter crossing paths, variations of global market Land Cruisers and get real about the beloved J-Series markets.US Spec Land Cruisers will always be paramount in the market, but supply of imported Land Cruisers has moderated and allowed the market to balance out.  Lately, the lower volume of Land Cruisers we are seeing imported into the US tend to be higher quality restorations and desirable variants that we never saw in the US.  Those current market trends and the back drop of a strong collector vehicle market are moving the J-Series market back into the sellers favor and prices are rising. Follow, Like and subscribe to the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and your podcast listing platform.

What's the deal with diesel tuning? Is it really that different? Yes… But also no.This week Matt Smith of Just Autos joins us to discuss all things diesel tuning — operating principles, combustion temperature, reflash options, and a whole lot more.Use JUST50 to get $50 off HPA's Diesel Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/dieselstarterbJust Autos, based out of Queensland, Australia, specialises in diesel performance tuning — but perhaps not the platforms you're more familiar with. Matt has gone down the Japanese diesel path — specifically Toyota's Hilux, Prado, and Landcruiser platforms. These workhorses are common on Aussie roads, and Matt is at the very forefront of developing their stout Toyota diesel motors to get the absolute best performance from them.  In this conversation, Matt tells us how he got into the business, and how it's changed and improved to become the very professional outfit it is today.We then jump into the real meat and potatoes of this episode — a very deep dive into the world of diesel engines and tuning. Matt takes the time to really go through how a diesel engine operates and how that differs from a petrol engine, as well as why we need fuel pulses, the general dos and don'ts of diesel tuning, controlling combustion temperatures, and the usefulness (or not) of exhaust gas temperature sensors in a diesel application. Matt is a great communicator and manages to get tech heavy without leaving the real world, so if you've always wanted to better understand diesel technology and how to get the absolute most performance out of it, this episode is a great place to start.Follow Matt here:IG: @justautosmechanicalFB: Just AutosYT: Just Autos MechanicalTKTK: justautosWWW: justdieselperfomance.com.auDon't forget, you can use JUST50 to get $50 off HPA's Diesel Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/dieselstarterbTimestamps:0:00 The Dos and Don'ts of Diesel Tuning.3:41 How did you become interested in cars?10:57 Are we losing key mechanical skills these days?15:30 What drove you towards the diesel world?22:48 How does a diesel engine work?26:15 Diesel engine timing.29:16 What is pilot injection for in a diesel engine?32:36 Diesel fuelling and tuning.40:12 EGTs on a diesel engine.50:47 Common rail diesel fuel pressure.54:19 Diesel fuel system failures.

Jill and Tom open the show covering a few news stories. First, Toyota is claiming it will have a solid-state EV battery in a production vehicle around 2030. Could be big news in regard to EV price and range. Listen in for details. The hosts went on to discuss Mercedes-Benz's new turquoise marker- and tail lights. Why are they doing this? Listen in. Still in the first segment, Jill shared details of a story she wrote about how the similar-size Toyota 4Runner and Land Cruiser crossovers differ. Clue: One is more family friendly than the other. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions to the show. Sam walked the hosts through the headwinds faced by the auto industry as a result of the current administration's tariff plans. Sam also discussed Tesla's plant capacity situation, which may be most acute in Europe, where the company recently opened a new manufacturing facility. In the last segment, Jill is tormented by Tom's “Pontiac or Oldsmobile?” quiz, and the hosts talk a little about Polestar, a new EV brand with Volvo roots.

There's fries with that: scary words in your shampoo ingredients, honest humanity in your "Blazing Saddles", Mexican light bulbs, Korean stoves, the 1911's birthday and at least one sammich.

Creo que todos estamos de acuerdo en que los coches actuales se parecen mucho unos a otros y que carecen de capacidad de seducción. ¿Y qué hacen las marcas? Pues cuando quieren hacer algo diferente… copian… ¿un contrasentido? Puede. Se copian a sí mismos renovando diseños antiguos… el resultado suele ser bueno, pero no puedo evitar pensar… ¿no será que faltan ideas? Voy a ser malo, creo que sí, que faltan ideas… voy a afinar más: Falta valentía. Todos los fabricantes de coches, en realidad todas las empresas, son esclavos de sus cuentas de resultados. Y nadie se atreve a arriesgar. Este es, en mi opinión, uno de los problemas. Pero no el único. Lo digo muchas veces y lo seguiré repitiendo: Los coches, antes, eran “coches de autor” y no fruto del propio departamento de la marca muy influido por otros departamentos como el de marketing, fabricación y-o comercial. Así que cuando las marcas quieren hacer algo distinto, se copian a sí mismas y “rejuvenecen” sus propios diseños. Y por si no os creéis lo que digo, os traigo 10 ejemplos. Y como siempre en este tipo de listas vamos a ver si lo consideramos un acierto o, por el contrario, un fracaso. 1. Alpine A110 (2017). El acierto de este coche es que reúne lo mejor del original A110, como es su estética y su excelente comportamiento, pero corrige lo peor, el motor que pasa de ser colgado por detrás del eje trasero a ser central… ¡a ver si aprende Porsche! Para mi sin duda… ¡un acierto!. 2. Fiat 500e (2013). He elegido el eléctrico, aunque podría haber elegido tranquilamente el de gasolina. Además, este 500e no está disponible desde 2018. Para mi estéticamente tiene mérito, porque se percibe como un verdadero 500, cuando el 500 en el que se inspira era de motor y propulsión trasera y este de motor y tracción delantera. Así que creo que es… ¡un acierto! 3. Ford Bronco (2021). Tras detener la producción de su “best seller” el Bronco en 1996 en 2021 y hasta ahora llega la sexta generación. Una buena idea es que se de gasolina, para mí eso del TT y las baterías no se llevan bien. Así que, aunque me gusta, le pongo… pulgar para abajo, con dudas. 4. Honda e (2020). Este coche no está inspirado, hasta donde yo sé, en ningún modelo en concreto, aunque sin duda trata de ofrecer una línea “neo-retro”. Rinde 184 CV y una autonomía teórica de 220 km lo cual, en 2020, cuando apareció, ya era poco. El coche va bien pero como decía, no recuerda de verdad a otro coche y su autonomía es escasa así que, sintiéndolo mucho… 5. Ineos Grenadier (2020). La despedida en 2016 del mítico Defender fue muy mal digerida por muchos fans del modelo… con razón, la verdad. Uno de estos inconformes fue Jim Ratcliffe quien ni corto ni perezoso compró a la marca los derechos y la maquinaria, fundo Ineos y construyo un nuevo Defender. Le puso motores BMW, ahora el más gordo es un V8 de más de 500 CB y mejoró algunos aspectos del coche original, pero sin perder su esencia… A mí me parece una buena idea y muy bien hecha así que, sin duda… ¡un acierto! 6. Mercedes-Benz Clase G (1979). Lo de este modelo es un caso diría que único, pues no es un diseño retro ni mucho menos, es un diseño de 1979 que sigue vivo… sí, es retro, pero nunca lo pretendió. He probado varias variantes de este modelo, en todas circunstancias, y os confirmó que sin duda estamos ante el mejor todo terreno del momento… bueno, del momento, pero desde su aparición en 1979 hasta ahora. Si descontamos la versión eléctrica… ¡un acierto! 7. Renault 5 eléctrico (2024). Renault lo presentaba con un precio “asequible”, más de 20.000 € la versión básica... hemos perdido el norte. No digo que no lo valga, pero un coche de ese precio, sencillamente, no es barato. Y el original R5 sí lo era. Podría y debería ser más barato, pero a pesar de eso… ¡un acierto! 8. Rivian R3 (2024). Sin duda este modelo norteamericano es de claro pero incierto diseño retro. Según sus creadores se han inspirado en el VW Golf Country… no veo el parecido por ninguna parte, la verdad. También la marca dice que vale tanto para la ciudad, como para viajar o como para el campo… demasiado ambicioso. 9. Toyota Land Cruiser (2024). Ya sabéis que soy de la opinión que Toyota está gestionando su marca, a Lexus y la imposición de los eléctricos de forma ejemplar. Y creo que la renovación de este Land Cruiser, volviendo a sus orígenes, me parece todo un acierto. Pero este modelo me parece un acierto, ¡un gran acierto! 10. VW ID Buzz (2022). Para mi este modelo es una oportunidad perdida. Estéticamente me parece un acierto, moderno y práctico y con “aire” de T1. Pero ese empeño de VW en lo eléctrico que, por cierto, tan caro está pagando, es un error.

Are they off-road ready or just rugged? This week the Unnamed Automotive Podcast tackles two rough and tumble SUVs starting with Benjamin's review of the 2025 Subaru Outback XT, especially in light of an upcoming redesign which may ditch the classic wagon styling of the Subaru halo vehicle. While our hosts rag on the Outback's mainstreamification, they also worry that the future will lack the personality and capabilities that made it so interesting and popular in the first place. Then Sami shares his thoughts on the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser, which changes the older FJ formula to something less capable and less luxurious than Americans are used to. Beyond that, Sami points out the difficult to swallow pricing of the new Land Cruiser and how it stacks up against other rugged SUVs. Then the guys talk about the quality and pricing of cars following the COVID Pandemic, and whether consumers can head into a dealership and get a good deal right now. Thanks for listening!

Land Cruiser is one of Toyota's – and, arguably, the world's – most haloed marques. In this episode, Jason and Derek discuss its origins and history from its jeep origins, to its enormous family tree, all the way up to the brand new 250-series models, the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus GX550. Jason and the Hagerty crew traveled to the rugged, mountainous outskirts of Salt Lake City (and the nearby Land Cruiser Heritage Museum) to film an ICONS episode on the illustrious off-roading Toyota. And in this episode, the carmudgeons dive into the origins of the Japanese jeep and its Attila-grade family tree of subsequent series: the 20-series Land Cruiser and then the, 40, 55, 60, 70, 80, 100, 200, 250, and 300, just to name a few!  The FJs, BJs, the Iron Pig, heavy duties, station wagons, Prados, the Lexus-badged models like the LX600 and GX550 (Motor 1's SUV of the year!). We'll even cover the Land Cruiser's competition along the way: the Jeep Wrangler, Compass, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Wagoneer; the Land Rover Defender, Range Rover, Velar, Discovery and Evoque; even the Ford Bronco and International Scout.  In addition to the WWII Willys Jeep 4x4, we'll cover the origin of the “J” in BJ and FJ – an abbreviation for jeep, which itself many believe is a pseudo-acronym for GP or “general purpose,” but a fact-check says otherwise. Even the Land Cruiser name itself was a tweaked version of the Land Rover moniker to make Rando-kurūzā in Japan.   Jason also reviews both of the new 250-series Prado trucks: the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser and 2024 Lexus GX550. We'll talk powertrain, styling, cargo and passenger capacity, comfort, handling, NVH, luxury, and more.  Now let's get to it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
