It started in a shop. It still lives in one.
Brockett Built is run by Marcus Brockett, a fabricator who got tired of cheap, mass-produced parts that didn't fit, didn't last, and didn't look right. So we started building our own.
Every part we sell (Y-pipes, intakes, snorkels, headers, bumpers, spatulas, weld jigs) was prototyped on a real vehicle, fit-tested in a real shop, and TIG-welded by hand. We don't outsource craftsmanship and we don't cut corners. We build the parts we'd run on our own trucks.
What we make
The Brockett Built product line is dialed in for the trucks and cars we know inside and out:
- Lexus GX 470, GX 460, GX 550
- 03-09 V8 Toyota 4Runner
- 2022+ Toyota Tundra (3rd Gen)
- 2001-05 Lexus IS300
- BMW G80 platform
From handcrafted 304 stainless and titanium exhaust systems to winch bumpers, intake kits, snorkels, billet aluminum welding fixtures, and shop tools. Every part is designed, fabricated, and finished in our shop in Bartonville, Illinois.

It started with an exhaust that didn't fit.
A few years back, we ordered an off-the-shelf Y-pipe for a development 4Runner. It bolted up to one mounting point. The flanges were warped. The internal welds didn't seal. It was supposed to be the upgrade.
We pulled it back off, fixture-fit a replacement, and hand-TIG-welded a set that actually fit the chassis. That set is still on a customer's truck today.
Every part we ship now goes through the same process: cut and prepped on the fixture, hand-welded by one person, machined flat at the flanges, test-fitted before it leaves the shop. We started in a garage corner in Peoria, Illinois. We're still in Illinois, just on a real shop floor now. The standard hasn't changed.
Brockett Built
From tube to truck.
Cut and prep.
304 stainless tube cut to length, ends faced, internal weld-prep on the OEM-style flanges. No shortcuts on the prep. Most weld failures start here.
Fixture and tack.
Every set goes onto the same chassis-correct fixture before a bead is run. This is the difference between 'it bolts up' and 'it bolts up perfectly.'
TIG and QC.
Hand-TIG-welded by a human who's done this 2,400+ times. Flanges machined flat after welding. Every set test-fitted before it ships.
