Trent Fabrication

Trent Fabrication Trent Fabrication specializes in the custom fabrication of rock crawling and endurance racing chassis. Dave Schneider joined team Trent Fab in 2010.

Our chassis are available at a number of levels, the starter chassis, basic chassis, and complete chassis, though the most popular option is a rolling chassis. A rolling chassis will be delivered to you and you can install your engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, wheels and tires. However, we can supply all these parts if you want something a little more complete. We can take your chassis

to a full turn key buggy, ready to tackle any terrain you throw at it. In addition to custom fabrication, look to us for 4x4 parts, sales, service, tech support and advice. Don’t forget about the Trent Fab Racing Team led by owner Derek Trent behind the wheel of “Roxy” his personal 151 Proof Buggy. As you may expect, Roxy loves to climb, and in her first competition she presented Derek with a first place finish in the Pro Mod Class at CalROCS 2012 Season Opener. Keep an eye out for Derek and Roxy as they continue their climb to the top. Dave fit in well with his rock crawling experience, but added another dimension to the team as a successful long-distance offroad racing champion. Working with Derek, they created the first in a new line, the Top Shelf chassis. Dave’s Top Shelf was built to win KOH. Sadly, the 2012 attempt ended early due to a mechanical failure, but that was just the new car blues. In back to back weeks, Dave and the Top Shelf reached the podium of the VORRA Yerington300 and Round 1 of the Nor Cal Rock Racing Championship Series. Robb Kaufamn is the newest member of the Trent Fab team. Robb hails from Airdrie, Alberta, Canada and jumped into the sport head first. Robb purchased Derek’s original 151 Proof Chassis, “Jenna,” and took the 2011 CalROCS season title. Jenna’s proven design allowed Robb to earn his place as a finisher of 2012’s King of Hammers in Johnson Valley, California.

They say a picture is worth 1000 words. Well this picture is no different, except it's 1000 curse words. When you put a fitting in an atlas to use a -6 vent line, make sure the fitting isn't bottomed out in the atlas, therefore not venting.... couldn't figure out why the fluid wouldn't go in..... nailed it!

When you let use your car for the season to get himself up to pace to jump to 4400 in 2019, you realize he's 20 years old, and like to party. And by party I mean dent tubes. Hopefully using . 156 for the stinger will help this year!!! @ Trent Fabrication
