    Hello TacomaWorld!

    I would like to formally introduce Datin Metal Fabrication to the awesome Tacoma community! Datin Metal Fabrication is a company started in 1994 that specializes in top quality, USA made, parts made for our beloved off road community. While we were founded in 1994, we decided to shut our doors a few years back to regroup and come back stronger than ever! Throughout our companies history, we have made high quality parts for companies like Trail-Gear, All-Pro, Marlin Crawler, Oakley Sunglasses, Russ Wernimont Designs, Kawasaki Team Green, Donahoe Racing (now Icon), Patton Racing Engines, and many more. Datin Metal Fabrication did the first SAC for All-Pro on their iconic 4runner and was instrumental in the development of the Hy-Steer arms used by many of you all with solid front axles today. Datin fab is also responsible for the design and building of a championship Pro 4 Dynomax Race truck for Douglas Motorsports.

    Moving forward to today, we are extremely excited to announce that we will soon be bringing our expertise to new products in the very near future! We have built a new website (which will be opened to the public when we finish attaining stock!), connected with an engineer, and moved to developing products using Solidworks in-house. With all that in mind, we will strive to bring you all the best products at the best prices.

    I am also excited to announce that we will be at Rock Therapy next week! Sadly, we do not have any products to bring with us, but find me (in a silver lifted FJ Cruiser) and I will gladly give you a t-shirt, some stickers, and conversation about our plans for the future!

    Expect to see many more new pictures of our projects in the future! Look for us on facebook and isntagram @datinmetalfab! Our website, datinfab.com will be live when have ample stock and are able to serve all your 4wd needs!

    As everyone knows, a thread is no good without pictures, so here are some old pictures of Datin Fab Projects from the past!!

    Below is the championship Pro 4 Truck we did for Douglas Motorsports in the 90's!

    Damnit where were you when I lived in Boise and had a guinea pig truck to test whatever Frankenstein bull shit you could come up with.

    Either way, stoked to see you in Moab! Where are you staying?

    Hey thanks man! Inspiration to post some cooler pictures on there than we have now. Hope to grab some in Moab. Are you Ed's friend from Oregon by the way that is getting our first product??

    Thanks! Hope to meet you all!

    Thanks!

    Awesome, thank you!!

    For now, we are going to be focusing on consumer products rather than custom builds. However, a friend of mine who is also an engineer and who is also coming to RT with me is currently trying to find a salvage title 2nd gen to start developing the BEST SAC kit on the market. I know he is going to be looking for candidates once he gets it dialed in on his rig, I'd be happy to make the connection for you!

    Excited to meet everyone in Moab also! I'm planning to camp with my dog and engineering buddy at BFE, hopefully the sand midges that plagued us last year are all dead now!

    Thanks!
