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

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
