6mm Laser-Cut Aluminum. Trail-Tested Reliability. Precision 34-Gallon Protection.
Shield Your Payload, Protect Your JourneyThe ASFIR 4X4 Fuel Tank Skid Plate is the definitive solution for Ford Super Duty owners who refuse to let rough terrain dictate their path. On the F-250 and F-350 Crew Cab models, the 34-gallon fuel tank represents a massive, vulnerable target for jagged rocks and high-centering hazards.
This skid plate is crafted from premium 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum. It provides the heavy-duty shielding required for serious off-roading without the excessive weight or rust potential of traditional steel plates.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: The long 160" wheelbase of a Super Duty makes the fuel tank a "belly" that frequently drags over obstacles. A punctured tank isn't just an expensive repair—it's a fire hazard and a trip-ender.
The ASFIR Solution: Lightweight aluminum armor with integrated stiffening ribs that allows your truck to slide over obstacles while keeping your fuel safely contained.
Key Features: Fuel Tank Defense
Designed to be a 100% bolt-on system using existing chassis mounting points. Preserve your truck's frame integrity and resale value.
Premium laser-cut aluminum offers an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, protecting your 34-gallon tank without sagging your suspension.
Integrated stiffening ribs provide additional rigidity to the aluminum plate, ensuring it holds its shape even under direct vertical impacts.
Strategic vents and drain holes prevent water and debris buildup while allowing heat to escape, protecting the fuel system's longevity.
Over-Engineered for the Long WheelbaseOn a 160" wheelbase truck, the breakover angle is your biggest enemy. ASFIR's fuel tank plate is designed with a slim profile to minimize clearance loss while providing a smooth surface that helps you "glide" rather than "grind" over trail obstacles.

"The fuel tank on my F-250 sits lower than I'd like. I went with the ASFIR plate because it was the lightest 6mm option I could find. Installation took less than an hour by myself with a floor jack. I've already high-centered on a stump once, and the plate did exactly what it was supposed to—slid right over without a dent."

No. This specific skid plate is precision-measured for the 34-gallon fuel tank found on Short Bed (160" WB) models. Long bed tanks require a longer plate due to their extended geometry.
Yes. This is a 100% bolt-on installation. Because it weighs only 28 lbs, most owners can install it using a floor jack and basic hand tools. No drilling or welding to the chassis is required.
6mm aluminum is widely considered the gold standard for off-road armor. It provides excellent impact resistance and, unlike steel, it will not spark if dragged over a rock—a critical safety feature for fuel tank protection.
ASFIR designs their plates with drainage and ventilation openings. These allow mud, water, and debris to wash away during vehicle cleaning, preventing long-term corrosion or moisture retention against the tank.
Yes. Every ASFIR kit includes zinc-coated steel brackets and high-quality hardware designed to withstand salt, water, and harsh trail conditions for years without failure.

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
