1/4" (6mm) High-Grade Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Heavy-Duty Underbody Protection.
Armor Built for the Gladiator's Long WheelbaseThe Asfir 4x4 Engine and Transmission Skid Plate is the definitive shield for your Jeep Gladiator JT. Because of the Gladiator's long wheelbase and lower breakover angle, the engine oil pan and transmission are sitting ducks for jagged rocks and high-centering trail obstacles. Whether you're running the 3.6L Petrol or the 3.0L EcoDiesel, this plate provides the essential coverage your drivetrain lacks from the factory.
Engineered with precision, this skid plate is laser-cut from 1/4" (6mm) high-quality aluminum. It offers the perfect balance of massive impact resistance and lightweight performance, ensuring you don't bog down your suspension while securing your vehicle's "vital organs."
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Standard factory guards are often thin and leave critical gaps. One bad landing on a rock can crack your transmission case or puncture the oil pan, leading to an immediate trail-side disaster.
The Asfir Solution: We use a 6mm thick aluminum shield with integrated stiffening ribs and a 100% bolt-on design that installs in minutes without drilling into your frame.
Key Features: The Ultimate Drivetrain Shield
Manufactured from high-quality, laser-cut 1/4" aluminum. It’s strong enough to support the vehicle's weight while being 40% lighter than steel.
Uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. No drilling or cutting your Gladiator's frame, ensuring your vehicle maintains its resale value.
Specifically contoured for the JT chassis to minimize ground clearance loss while maximizing coverage for the engine and transmission.
The plate is reinforced with structural ribs to prevent bending or deformation during hard impacts on technical trails.
Custom ventilation slots are engineered to allow airflow to the engine and transmission, preventing heat soak during heavy crawling.
Supported by heavy-duty zinc-coated steel brackets to provide maximum corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
Integrated drain holes allow water, mud, and debris to escape, preventing buildup that can lead to corrosion or added weight.
Purpose-built variants for both the 3.6L Petrol and 3.0L EcoDiesel models for a perfect mechanical fit.
Lightweight Strength, Zero CompromiseWe don't believe in adding unnecessary weight to your rig. The Asfir aluminum plate delivers the toughness of steel at a fraction of the weight. This means your Gladiator keeps its agile handling and fuel economy while gaining bulletproof underbody security.

"The long wheelbase on my Gladiator JT was constantly hitting the crossmembers and transmission pan. After installing the Asfir aluminum plate, I've got total peace of mind. It’s light enough that my front end didn't sag, and the bolt-on install was perfectly lined up. I’ve already taken a few hard hits in Moab, and the plate didn't even budge."
- David K., Gladiator JT Owner ⚠️ Critical Installation NoteFor 3.6L Manual Gear Models: Please ensure your vehicle includes the factory OE Middle Crossmember required for proper skid plate installation. If your manual Gladiator lacks this crossmember, the plate cannot be secured.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
The Asfir skid plate is designed with maintenance in mind. While it offers full coverage, it typically features access points or is designed to be easily unbolted for full-service access to the oil drain plug and filter without removing the entire armor system.
Aluminum (6mm) offers the strength needed to protect against the majority of trail impacts while remaining significantly lighter than steel. This prevents your Gladiator's front-end from sagging, improves fuel economy, and won't rust if the finish gets scratched by rocks.
Yes, but with one condition: you must have the factory OE Middle Crossmember. Many manual models come equipped with it, but if yours does not, you will need to source one to provide a secure mounting point for the skid plate.
No. This is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes the factory pre-drilled holes in your Gladiator’s frame and existing crossmembers.
Yes. The EcoDiesel-specific variant of the Asfir skid plate is extended and contoured to offer protection for the engine, transmission, and sensitive exhaust/emissions components typical of the 3.0L platform.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

I love my trailhead roof top tent so much. It is so warm and spacious. Itās very simple to setup and put away. Extremely happy with my purchase. I waited to write a review till I used it multiple times so I could tell if I really liked it or not. Thereās not a thing I would want to change.
Give my jeep a solid sturdy look. Installation was ok if you follow the instructions properly.
Definitely a good product. Its super easy to install with instructions. It opens up nicely and shade coverage is good.
We have been on multiple trips with this tent. Its stable and comfortable with a good space for 2+ person to sleep in. Easy to setup and can be taken down under 10 minutes. The tent is waterproof and windproof and can be used during the winter season. Its worth the money and we are overall satisfied with our tent.
Material is of good quality. Easy to set up and teardown.
Looks great and very easy to install. Fits perfectly with no cutting on my Colorado 5 1/2 ft bed. As I unfolded the cover for the first time and each panel locked in place perfectly, I thought, Wow, that was easy.
