MOJO and the Outsiders

In this episode of Mojo and the Outsiders, we recap our recent trip to Los Angeles, diving into wild vehicle finds, unexpected trail problems, and the people who had our backs when things didn’t go as planned.

We kick things off with our latest Facebook Marketplace Finds, including a Mitsubishi Delica, a wildly built Honda CR-V, and a built Toyota RAV4, breaking down what makes each rig interesting, questionable, or surprisingly capable.

From there, we get into how we ended up stranded in Zach Diehl’s Toyota 4Runner, what went wrong, and why having solid friends and ambassadors in the off-road community makes all the difference. Real-world trips don’t always go smoothly, and this one definitely tested the group.

We also talk about the importance of great ambassadors, loyal friends, and community support, especially when traveling far from home with built vehicles.

Finally, we wrap things up by discussing the Rodeo x Rigs Toy Drive Event 2025 in Los Angeles, why events like this matter, and how the off-road and overlanding community continues to show up in a big way.

If you’re into overlanding, off-road builds, Toyota rigs, Facebook Marketplace finds, or real behind-the-scenes travel stories, this episode is for you.

• Facebook Marketplace vehicle finds

• Built Honda CR-V off-road setups
• Toyota RAV4 off-road builds
