Heavy-Duty 1/4" Aluminum Armor. 100% Bolt-On Installation. Trail-Proven Protection.
Bulletproof Protection for Your Colorado's DrivetrainThe ASFIR 4X4 Transmission Skid Plate is engineered to provide the ultimate insurance for one of your truck's most expensive components. Manufactured from precision laser-cut 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum, this plate offers the brute strength required for rock crawling without the fuel-draining weight of traditional steel.
This skid plate is built to survive the harshest off-road environments. It integrates seamlessly with your 2023+ Colorado's chassis to provide a smooth sliding surface over obstacles, ensuring you make it home from every adventure.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Your transmission case is highly vulnerable to sharp rocks and stumps. A single impact can crack the housing, leading to a $5,000+ repair bill and a long walk back to civilization.
The ASFIR Solution: We provide a 6mm reinforced shield with a 100% Bolt-On design. Our plate features ventilation slots to prevent overheating and a ribbed structure to absorb massive impacts.
Key Features: ASFIR Transmission Guard
This plate uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. It mounts directly to existing factory points so you don't have to modify your new Colorado's frame.
High-quality 1/4" aluminum provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio. It's tough enough for rocks but won't rust like steel.
Integrated stiffening ribs provide structural rigidity. These ribs absorb energy during impacts, preventing the plate from bowing into your transmission.
Precision-cut ventilation slots ensure constant airflow to your transmission, preventing heat buildup during low-speed crawling.
Drainage openings allow mud, water, and debris to escape easily, reducing the "anchor effect" and making cleanup after the trail a breeze.
Brackets are manufactured from steel and treated with a zinc coating to ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance in any climate.
Vehicle-specific engineering ensures the plate hugs the underbody as tight as possible to maintain maximum ground clearance.
Ideally matched with ASFIR front and transfer case plates for a smooth, full-length underbody protection system.
Tested in the World's Toughest TerrainASFIR doesn't do "decorative" armor. Our transmission plate is over-engineered with 6mm thick aluminum to ensure it can support the weight of the truck when sliding over a rock. At only 17.6 lbs, it is light enough to install single-handedly.
17.6 lbs Lightweight 6mm Aluminum Thickness Zinc-Steel Bracket Coating 100% Bolt-On Fit
"Installed this on my '24 Colorado Trail Boss. I was impressed by the precision of the laser cuts; every bolt hole lined up perfectly without having to pry anything into place. It's thick enough to take a beating but light enough that it didn't kill my fuel economy. Definitely provides peace of mind on rocky descents."
- Mark J., 4x4 Enthusiast Maintenance NoteDrainage slots included: While we've designed this plate to be maintenance-friendly, always check for trapped branches or heavy mud buildup after deep water crossings to ensure optimal transmission cooling.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Yes, in most cases. Since the ASFIR transmission plate mounts directly to the frame rails/subframe, it is compatible with most standard suspension lift kits. If your lift uses a massive drop bracket for the front diff, please contact support.
No. Because of the precision laser cutting and vehicle-specific design, the fit is incredibly tight. We recommend checking the hardware torque after your first trail run to ensure everything remains seated properly.
We do not recommend using the skid plate as a jacking point. While it is designed to take the weight of the truck during sliding impacts, jacking concentrates the entire weight of the vehicle in one small point, which could deform the plate or brackets.
Installation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes using basic hand tools. Since it is a 100% bolt-on design, most owners with moderate DIY skills can complete the install in their own garage.
Aluminum is roughly 1/3 the weight of steel. Keeping your Colorado's weight down is critical for maintaining suspension performance and fuel economy. Furthermore, aluminum will not rust once scratched on the rocks, ensuring a much longer service life in wet or salty conditions.

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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
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
