Help Jorge & Emily Recover and Rebuild After Off-Road Crash

On what started as an off-road photoshoot to help a brand, Jorge and his girlfriend Emily were out ripping the truck as they’ve done countless times before. But during a jump, Jorge’s beloved “Kinda Toyota” prerunner landed wrong and rolled hard. There were no other vehicles involved, just a freak accident in the dirt.

Both Jorge and Emily were evaluated at the emergency room, and while they thankfully avoided serious injuries, Emily required a CAT scan and several staples to close a head wound. Thankfully, they’re both okay and on the road to recovery — but it was a brutal hit physically, emotionally, and financially.

And the truck? It’s fully totaled.

If you’ve been to any off-road event in SoCal or follow desert content online, you’ve probably seen Jorge’s prerunner. But what a lot of people don’t see is everything that truck represented.

Jorge built it as a dedicated prerunner, not a daily driver — purely for the love of the desert scene. He used it to give back to the community — showing up at off-road demos, brand shoots, car meets, and community events at his own expense, just to put on a show and support others. He never charged, never asked for anything in return — just showed up, jumped in, and sent it.

We're raising funds to help Jorge and Emily recover, and more importantly, to help Jorge build a new prerunner from scratch — so he can keep doing what he loves and bring that same energy back to the scene that he's poured so much into.

Your donation will help cover:

This isn’t the end of Jorge’s story — it’s just the reset button.

We’ll hopefully be sharing the rebuild journey on social media, bringing the community along every step of the way.

Let’s help Jorge get back in the dirt — for the love of the desert, the builds, and the people who live it.

Donate now, and share if you can. Every bit helps — and we can't wait to see the new truck come to life.
