Aerospace-Grade 6mm Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On. Heavy-Duty Oil Pan Shielding.
Professional Armor for Your F-150 EngineThe ASFIR 4X4 Engine Skid Plate is the essential foundation for your Ford F-150's underbody protection. Most modern F-150s leave the factory with either no protection or a flimsy fiberboard "splash guard" that offers zero defense against trail impacts. ASFIR replaces this with 1/4" (6mm) of precision-engineered aluminum.
Manufactured in Israel and tested in the world's most demanding desert environments, this plate shields your oil pan and critical engine components from jagged rocks, high-centered obstacles, and trail debris. It's designed to take the hit so your engine doesn't have to.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Modern F-150 oil pans are often made of plastic or thin-walled aluminum; a single rock impact can cause a catastrophic oil leak and a $4,000+ engine replacement.
The ASFIR Solution: A lightweight 6mm Aluminum shield that is significantly stronger than factory guards, won't rust, and features reinforcing ribs for maximum impact deflection.
Key Features: The ASFIR Engine Shield
No drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications. This plate uses existing factory mounting points to preserve your F-150's frame integrity and resale value.
Constructed from high-grade laser-cut aluminum. It provides heavy-duty shielding while weighing just 15 lbs—preventing front-end suspension sag.
The plate features pressed reinforcing ribs that dramatically increase structural rigidity without adding unnecessary thickness or weight.
Integrated air slots ensure your engine and transmission remain properly cooled during high-load off-roading or desert driving.
Strategically placed drain holes allow water, mud, and trail debris to escape easily, making maintenance and washing effortless.
Marine-grade aluminum combined with zinc-coated steel mounting brackets ensures this armor will never rust, even in salty or snowy climates.
Lightweight Protection, Maximum Ground ClearanceUnlike heavy steel skid plates that add bulk, the ASFIR Engine Skid Plate is incredibly lightweight at just 15 lbs. This ensures your truck remains agile and responsive. The low-profile design hugs the F-150 chassis, meaning you lose less than 1/4" of ground clearance while gaining a smooth sliding surface.

"The factory 'diaper' on my F-150 was falling off after one winter. I replaced it with the ASFIR aluminum engine skid and it fits like a glove. It's solid as a rock and gave me way more confidence in the rough stuff. The install took 20 minutes and required no special tools."

The plate is designed with drain holes and apertures to facilitate routine maintenance. In most F-150 5.0L applications, the drain plug can be reached without full removal of the plate, though the oil filter access may vary by model year and after-market modifications.
No. The ASFIR Engine Skid Plate is a 100% bolt-on system. It utilizes existing factory mounting holes in your Ford F-150's frame rails, ensuring a secure and easy installation with no vehicle modification required.
No. Aluminum does not rust like steel. It forms a natural protective oxide layer that makes it ideal for wet or salty environments. The mounting brackets are also zinc-coated for maximum durability against corrosion.
ASFIR designs their plates to hug the chassis as tightly as possible. Clearance loss is negligible (less than 1/4 inch). Because the plate provides a smooth sliding surface, you actually gain the ability to glide over obstacles that would otherwise snag your oil pan.
This plate is compatible with all leveling kits and most suspension lift kits that do not require relocation of the main front crossmember. If your lift kit uses a dropped crossmember, please verify clearance with our support team.

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
