Dual-Component Armor. 1/4" Laser-Cut Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On Protection.
Shield Your Colorado's Most Vulnerable VitalsThe ASFIR 4X4 Transfer & Canister Skid Plate is a precision-engineered defense system for the 2023+ Chevrolet Colorado. While front skid plates get all the glory, your transfer case and charcoal canister are often the most exposed and fragile components under your chassis. One high-centered rock can lead to a cracked drivetrain or a costly EVAP system failure.
Manufactured using high-grade 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum, this plate offers elite protection without the heavy weight of steel. It's designed to handle the impact of jagged rocks and harsh off-road environments while maintaining the sleek profile of your truck.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: The factory charcoal canister is often made of plastic, and the transfer case is a low-hanging target. Puncturing these doesn't just end your trail day—it results in expensive repairs and potential environmental leaks.
The ASFIR Solution: We utilize 6mm reinforced aluminum and zinc-coated steel brackets to create a 100% bolt-on shield that covers both components simultaneously, allowing you to slide over obstacles with confidence.
Key Features: ASFIR Underbody Armor
The ASFIR design uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. It utilizes existing factory mounting points so you never have to drill into your Colorado's frame.
Engineered to shield both the transfer case and the charcoal canister in a single unit, providing comprehensive mid-ship protection.
At 1/4" (6mm) thickness, our aluminum provides the strength of steel at 30% less weight, preventing suspension sag and maintaining MPG.
Integrated ribs increase the plate's structural rigidity, allowing it to absorb massive impacts without deforming or bending into your drivetrain.
Precision apertures ensure the transfer case stays cool and allow mud, water, and trail debris to escape easily after the adventure.
Heavy-duty mounting brackets are treated with zinc coating to ensure long-term corrosion resistance even in salty or snowy climates.
Tested in the World's Toughest TerrainASFIR 4X4 has spent decades refining underbody armor in the challenging landscapes of the Middle East. Our Colorado skid plates feature laser-cut precision that matches the 2.7L engine chassis perfectly. At only 17.6 lbs, this plate adds negligible weight while providing "insurance" against thousands of dollars in mechanical damage.

"The charcoal canister on the new Colorado is basically a target for rocks. I installed the ASFIR plate in about 40 minutes in my driveway. The fit is incredibly tight to the frame, so I didn't lose any ground clearance. I've already dragged it over a few logs and it barely has a scratch. Highly recommended for peace of mind."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
The charcoal canister (part of the EVAP system) is located under the truck and is typically made of plastic. If it gets hit by a rock or branch, it can crack, causing a check engine light and potentially preventing your truck from passing emissions tests. It is a very expensive part to replace relative to its size.
This skid plate is designed to clear the factory exhaust system. Most aftermarket "cat-back" systems will also clear, but if your exhaust is custom-routed near the transfer case, some minor adjustments may be required.
Yes. ASFIR engineers their plates to use existing factory threaded holes or chassis slots. No modification of your vehicle's frame is necessary, which keeps your manufacturer warranty safe.
Since this plate protects the mid-section (transfer case), it is generally unaffected by front suspension lifts or diff drops. It mounts directly to the frame rails/crossmembers.
The loss is minimal—typically less than 1/4 inch. ASFIR designs their armor to hug the chassis as tight as possible. By providing a smooth sliding surface, you actually improve your ability to clear obstacles that would otherwise snag on the exposed transfer case.

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
