Veteran driver Nena Barlow and navigator Teralin Petereit of Team No. 129 have once again proven they’re the team to beat, taking the overall title at the 10th annual Rebelle Rally in there Jeep Gladiator Mojave. This marks their fourth win in five years, solidifying their place as an off-road dynasty and showing the world what Jeep capability really means.

Driving a Desert Rated Jeep Gladiator Mojave, veteran competitors Nena Barlow and Teralin Petereit clinched their fourth victory in five years at the grueling 2025 Rebelle Rally, the first and only women’s off-road navigation rally in the U.S. Jeep 4×4 vehicles have now secured eight out of ten overall wins since the rally began.

A True Test Of Grit And Machine

The Rebelle Rally isn’t your typical desert cruise. It’s an eight-day, 1,700-mile gauntlet that stretches across some of the harshest terrain in Nevada and California—a pure test of skill, endurance, and navigation. No GPS. No cell phones. No outside help. Just old-school maps, compasses, and a whole lot of grit.

And this year, Barlow and Petereit didn’t just survive—they dominated. Piloting a stock 2025 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, they conquered dunes, dry lake beds, and rocky trails to claim the top spot. It’s fitting that the only open-air pickup and the only Desert Rated Jeep model in the field was also the one to stand tall at the finish line.

The Evolution Of A Champion

Team 129’s journey through the Rebelle Rally reads like a love story to Jeep engineering. Their first two wins came behind the wheel of the Wrangler 4xe Rubicon, and now their latest back-to-back victories have come in the Gladiator Mojave. Each win underscores how Jeep continues to evolve its lineup for serious off-road performance—especially in the punishing desert environment where the Mojave badge earns its keep.

“Congratulations to Nena and Teralin on another incredible Rebelle Rally win,” said Aamir Ahmed, Global Head of Jeep Brand Off-Road and EVs. “Their success showcases the unmatched capability and durability of the Jeep Gladiator. The Rebelle Rally is the ultimate proving ground, and we’re proud to support competitors who embody the adventurous spirit of Jeep.”

Jeep’s Gladiator Mojave Lineup Grows

This year also saw another Jeep-backed team join the fun: Team Fun•Duh•Mentals (No. 101), made up of Lyn Woodward, an experienced automotive journalist, and Renée Vento, a seven-time Rebelle veteran. Even though it was their first outing as teammates, the duo brought a wealth of rally know-how to the course—proving once again that Rebelle is as much about teamwork as it is about terrain.

Jeep: The Rally’s Backbone

When it comes to Rebelle Rally history, Jeep is the brand to beat. Over the event’s ten-year run, Jeep vehicles have claimed eight of ten overall wins and five of nine Bone Stock awards—a record that speaks for itself. And it’s not just the factory teams; more than one-third of competitors show up in their own personal Jeep vehicles.

Ten Years of Empowerment and Adventure

As the Rebelle Rally celebrates its 10th anniversary, it’s clear that Jeep’s commitment goes beyond trophies. The event stands as a celebration of female empowerment, adventure, and relentless determination—values that align perfectly with Jeep’s own trail-tested ethos.

From the first checkpoint to the last dune, Team 129’s 2025 Jeep Gladiator Mojave once again proved that the spirit of Jeep—and the heart of off-roading—is alive and well in the desert.
