Front-End Critical Protection. 6mm Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On Armor.
Shield Your Steering, Protect Your AlignmentThe ASFIR 4X4 Steering Rod Skid Plate is engineered to safeguard the most vulnerable part of your Ford Super Duty's front end. Whether you are navigating tight trails in an F-250 Tremor or hauling heavy loads through job sites in an F-350, your steering rod sits dangerously exposed to rocks, stumps, and debris.
Tested on Tremor Crew Cab models with the 6.7L Turbo-Diesel, this 1/4" (6mm) aluminum plate provides a massive upgrade over factory protection. It is designed to take high-velocity impacts, ensuring you don't end up with a bent rod and a truck that can't be steered home.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: A single rock strike can bend your steering rod, instantly ruining your alignment and leaving your truck undrivable. Repairs often involve expensive parts and a mandatory professional alignment.
The ASFIR Solution: A lightweight yet ultra-rigid aluminum shield that deflects hazards while maintaining your truck's factory ground clearance and steering range.
Key Features: Steering Armor
The ASFIR steering skid uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. No drilling or cutting into your Super Duty's frame ensures your warranty and resale value remain intact.
Laser-cut 1/4" aluminum offers extreme impact resistance. It's tough enough for the trail but light enough (31 lbs) to not affect front-end handling.
The plate is supported by heavy-duty steel brackets with a zinc coating to prevent corrosion in salt-heavy or wet environments.
Integrated air vents ensure that heat doesn't build up around the steering box and linkages, while drain holes allow mud and water to escape.
Tested in Extreme TerrainProudly made in Israel, ASFIR 4X4 armor is over-engineered to withstand the harshest off-road environments. The steering rod plate features stiffening ribs to increase vertical strength, preventing the aluminum from flexing into the rod during a direct hit.

"I took my F-250 Tremor out to Moab and hit a ledge harder than expected. This steering skid took the full force of the impact. It scraped the aluminum, but the steering rod stayed perfectly straight. Without this, I'd have been looking at a long tow and a very expensive front-end rebuild. Best insurance you can buy."

Most aftermarket bumpers that follow the factory mounting structure are compatible. However, if your bumper has lower support bars that extend into the steering rod area, slight modifications may be required.
No. The plate is precision-modeled to allow for the full range of motion of the steering linkages. It protects the rod without making contact during lock-to-lock turns.
6mm aluminum provides excellent impact deflection. While steel is harder, it is prone to rust and adds twice the weight to the front end. ASFIR uses internal ribbing to ensure the aluminum doesn't bend into the rod it's protecting.
Installation is a direct bolt-on. Because it weighs only 31 lbs, it can easily be held in place while starting the bolts. No drilling or welding is required on your F-250 or F-350.
Yes. This kit was specifically tested on Tremor Crew Cab models. It works perfectly with the Tremor's factory suspension and wheel/tire package.

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
