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.

Big thanks to the big guy for making this all happen. It’s been an amazing ride and I’m not getting off anytime soon.

Very proud of my son Dylan Trent and Brian Tilton Racing for bringing home another win. The last minute NCRRsxs schedule change made me think we would miss the race because I had to be in Southern California for work. Dylan’s car was still dirty from the last race before giving up on a possible championship I reached out the Brian Tilton to see if he could clean up the car, do a quick race prep, take it to the track, and be on the radio to spot for Dylan. It was a lot to ask but Brian agreed. I was just hoping Dylan could get on the podium. Another win really didn’t seem possible because Dylan’s car is under powered. This season we have put all of our effort into suspension tuning and car set up. In spite of being under powered the suspension is dialed in better than it has ever been. Dylan drove a great race and he used momentum pick up time in the corners. I can’t wait to see this kid racing Ultra4 in a Trent Fabrication car.

I’m looking for a new to the shop truck to use as a tow rig. 4th Gen RAM Cummins, Single Rear Wheel, Long Bed or Mega Cab, the ultimate would be Long Bed Mega Cab or Ramp Truck. Possible trade for Top Shelf Rolling Chassis. Anyone in the network have something like this?
Thank you
Derek Trent
