Fractal Fabs

When a Red Seal Fabricator and a Red Seal Auto Tech put their skills together, this is what happens. No messing around!

This TRD supercharged 1st gen Tacoma underwent one hell of an evolution here at Fractal Fab!

What started as a rear 63" leaf spring swap turned into fabricating an entirely new rear chassis, along with installing and dialing in a full long-travel suspension system. This build was anything but your average bolt-on job!

That’s a wrap on the Fluid Film Festival 26'. 🛡️
After 55 gallons of Fluid Film, we’re done with the dedicated FF festival time block for winter protection. I won’t pretend this is the fun or glamorous side of the job — winter prep season is messy, repetitive work, but it needs to get done. Looking after our clients and protecting their Toyotas comes first.

These are a few of the Toyotas that came through — some for maintenance recoats, others needing full prep and treatment — all finished with Fluid Film Black for full winter protection!

Now it’s back to what Fractal Fab spends most of the year doing: Toyota chassis mods, component fabrication, structural rust repair and restorations. 🔥

I’ll still squeeze in the occasional coating through the rest of the year, but space is extremely limited as chassis work takes priority.

Taking names, and saving frames.

144,000 km. One owner mindset. Forever truck goals.
This 2nd Gen Tacoma came in with only 144,000 km on the odometer and was about as clean as they get before restoration. Unfortunately, even low-kilometer trucks aren't immune to Toyota's biggest enemy: corrosion hidden between the frame layers.
This truck was showing one of the typical mid-chassis frame separation caused by rust expanding between the factory frame laminations. Left unchecked, the layers continue to split apart and compromise the structure.

Scope of work;

✔ Full frame scale removal
✔ All rivets removed, heavy rust removed between layers
✔ Fully welded seam
✔ Mid-chssis frame stiffners added
✔ Complete phosphoric acid wash and neutralization process
✔ Epoxy primer application
✔ Full chassis paint coating
✔ A/C drain modification to prevent future moisture accumulation
✔ Final protection with 1.5 gallons of Fluid Film

The goal wasn't to patch it and send it down the road. The goal was to preserve a truck the owner plans to keep indefinitely.
These restorations take time, but when the foundation is solid, a Tacoma with only 144k km still has a very long life ahead of it.

Another return customer. Structural inspection, scale and Fluid Film last year before winter. Back for the repairs needed, new trac bar xmember, and outboard shock mount relocation. Gave it a further surface scale while it was disassembled, acid wash and paint over the rear section to prevent and further corrosion. Iced out with a full Fluid Film Black coating to finish things off proper! Back to Kelowna 👌

Return customer, repaired the cat area in 22' and the mid section splitting and inner stiffner plates in 24' still flawless AF. In this time for rear body mount corrosion repair, ac drain mod and Fluid Film Black recoat to keep things perfect. This baby has over 500k on the clock and I couldn't believe how minty it was under there ! Well done maintaining things doquette
