1/4" Laser-Cut Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Lightweight Structural Reinforcement.
Engineered for Real Off-Road ProtectionThe Asfir 4x4 Ford Bronco Fuel Tank Skid Plate is crafted from high-quality, laser-cut 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum, delivering maximum impact resistance with minimal added weight. Designed specifically for Bronco models lacking factory protection, this plate shields your fuel source without sacrificing precious ground clearance.
This skid plate is a critical component of a professional underbody protection system. It is engineered to handle harsh off-road environments—from sharp rocks to heavy mud—ensuring that your adventure doesn't end with a punctured tank and a tow truck.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: The factory fuel tank on many Bronco trims is exposed or covered by flimsy material, making it vulnerable to punctures that are dangerous, expensive, and trip-ending.
The Asfir Solution: We use marine-grade 6mm aluminum reinforced with structural ribs. It's 100% bolt-on, utilizing zinc-coated steel brackets to prevent corrosion while providing a rigid, reliable shield.
Key Features: Heavy-Duty Fuel Tank Armor
Constructed from 6mm thick aluminum for the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. Tough enough for rocks, light enough for fuel economy.
The system is 100% bolt-on. It uses existing factory mounting points, meaning no permanent modifications to your Bronco's chassis.
Laser-cut and reinforced with internal structural ribs to prevent the plate from bending or deforming under heavy vertical loads.
Integrated ventilation slots and drain holes allow water, mud, and trapped heat to escape, preventing corrosion and overheating.
Mounting brackets are made from high-strength steel with a zinc coating, ensuring long-term resistance against rust and road salt.
At just 33 lbs, this plate provides maximum protection without overloading your suspension or significantly reducing your payload.
The low-profile, vehicle-specific design hugs the fuel tank tightly to preserve your Bronco's original ground clearance.
Engineered and manufactured to global standards, ensuring reliable performance wherever the trail takes you.
Precision Fitment, Trail-Proven DurabilityAsfir 4x4 utilizes advanced laser-cutting technology to ensure every skid plate fits the Bronco chassis like a glove. By using high-strength aluminum, we provide protection you can rely on without the rust issues associated with steel skid plates.

"Living in the desert, I'm constantly worried about sharp rocks hitting my fuel tank. The Asfir plate was a breeze to install—took about 45 minutes with basic tools. It feels incredibly solid and it's so much lighter than the steel options I looked at. Great peace of mind for the price."
- Jake D., Ford Bronco 4-Door Owner*Repair costs are estimates. Punctured fuel tanks also pose a significant fire hazard on the trail.

No. Unlike steel skid plates that rust the moment the paint chips, this plate is made from high-quality aluminum. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion, so even after dragging it over rocks, the material remains protected.
No. Only standard metric wrenches and sockets are required. The installation is a 100% bolt-on process that uses factory-provided mounting points on the Bronco chassis.
The Asfir skid plate is designed to hug the fuel tank as closely as possible. You typically lose only the thickness of the aluminum (6mm) plus a tiny gap for impact deflection, preserving your Bronco's off-road capabilities.
On Big Bend trims, there are specific factory bolts and a small metal piece that interfere with the precise alignment of the Asfir skid plate. These must be removed prior to installation to ensure a flush, secure fit.
Yes. The fuel tank location remains the same regardless of your transmission choice. This skid plate is compatible with 2.3L and 2.7L engines in both Manual and Automatic configurations.

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
