Premium 6mm Aluminum Armor. 100% Bolt-On. Industrial-Strength Front-End Protection.
The First Line of Defense for Your HD WorkhorseThe ASFIR 4X4 Front Skid Plate is engineered to protect the most vulnerable front-end components of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD. While these Heavy Duty trucks are built to move mountains, their factory front-end protection is often limited to thin plastic splash guards that offer zero resistance against jagged rocks or heavy debris.
This skid plate is crafted from 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum. It provides high-strength impact resistance for your radiator support and lower engine area without the massive weight penalty of steel, ensuring your front suspension remains level and responsive.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Standard plastic front shields shatter on the first impact with a stump or rock, leaving your radiator and oil pan exposed to catastrophic damage.
The ASFIR Solution: Lightweight, reinforced 6mm aluminum armor that absorbs impact energy and protects your front end while maintaining maximum ground clearance.
Key Features: Heavy-Duty Front Armor
Precision-engineered to bolt directly into factory mounting points on your 2500 HD chassis—no permanent modifications required.
Laser-cut 1/4" aluminum offers extreme impact defense while keeping weight at a mere 24 lbs—significantly lighter than steel alternatives.
Reinforced with structural ribs that provide maximum rigidity, ensuring the plate protects against heavy vertical strikes and dragging.
Strategic ventilation slots maintain airflow to the engine and radiator, while drain holes allow mud and water to escape easily.
Tested in the World's Harshest TerrainASFIR 4X4 armor is battle-tested. This front plate is tailored to the specific geometry of the GM 2500 HD frame, hugging the underbody to ensure you don't lose an inch of approach angle. By using zinc-coated steel brackets for the main supports, we ensure the hardware remains corrosion-free and as tough as the plate itself.

"The factory plastic air dam is a joke for anyone who actually leaves the pavement. I swapped mine for the ASFIR front skid and couldn't be happier. It's light enough to install without a second person and feels solid as a rock. The ventilation is great too—my engine hasn't seen any temperature spikes even while towing in the heat."

No. The 1500 and 2500 HD frames have different mounting widths and crossmember locations. This skid plate is precision-designed specifically for the 2500 HD series chassis.
No. This is a 100% no-drill installation. It utilizes the factory threaded holes and mounting points already present in the GM HD frame architecture.
6mm aluminum is the standard for high-end off-road armor. While steel is slightly harder, it is prone to rust and weighs twice as much. Aluminum absorbs impact energy better and will never rust, making it superior for the lifespan of your vehicle.
No. The plate includes integrated air vents specifically designed to maintain factory-spec airflow around the engine and radiator, ensuring your thermal management remains within safe limits.
No. Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion. Combined with our zinc-coated steel brackets, this system is built to survive salt, mud, and water indefinitely.

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
