Off-road adventures demand more than bolt-on gear. Learn why custom steel and aluminum fabrication gives your overland rig the strength, fit, and function it needs.
Hot Metal Fab | Loomis, CA
In the world of overlanding, one size never fits all. Your rig is built for your adventures — so why settle for cookie-cutter gear?
At Hot Metal Fab, we’re seeing more off-roaders ditch the bolt-on brands and turn to custom metal fabrication. Why? Because when you’re deep in the backcountry, quality and fitment aren’t just nice to have — they’re essential.
Custom = Confidence
Whether you’re hauling a rooftop tent, storing tools in your bed rack, or sliding over boulders, you need gear that’s dialed in for your vehicle and how you use it. That’s where custom fabrication shines. We work with steel and aluminum to create trail-ready racks, rock sliders, stiffeners, and more — all tailored to your rig, your loadout, and your driving style.
Aluminum or Steel? Use What Fits Your Mission
Steel is tough and rugged — perfect for high-impact protection like rock sliders and frame-mounted gear. Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for bed racks, panels, and anything that needs strength without the extra weight.
We don’t force one material across the board — we build with what works best for the job.
