About Us
We’re Team Torque & Tech—and we’re taking the fight for Right to Repair straight into the desert.
This October, we’ll compete in the 2025 Rebelle Rally, a grueling 2,500+ km, map-and-compass-only race across California and Nevada. But for us, this journey isn’t just about finishing strong—it’s about standing up for self-reliance, open access, and the makers who keep America running.
We believe people deserve the right to fix, modify, and understand the vehicles and technology they rely on. From shop floors to dirt trails, we’re raising awareness for the Right to Repair movement and using our 4Runner as a rolling billboard for the cause
