Engineered for Real Off-Road Protection. No-Drill Installation. High-Strength 1/4" Aluminum.
The Ultimate Shield for Your 6.2L Super DutyThe ASFIR 4X4 Engine & Transmission Skid Plate is the result of precision engineering designed specifically for the Ford F-250 and F-350 with the 6.2L Gas engine. While the Super Duty is built tough, its vital underbelly components—the oil pan and transmission—remain vulnerable to jagged rocks and trail debris.
This skid plate is built to handle the harshest off-road environments. It provides heavy-duty protection without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel plates, ensuring your truck stays agile and protected wherever the trail takes you.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Factory "protection" is often just plastic or thin metal that folds under real impact, leading to stranded vehicles and massive repair bills.
The ASFIR Solution: We use 1/4" (6mm) High-Grade Aluminum with a 100% Bolt-On design. Our integrated stiffening ribs ensure maximum impact resistance while preserving your ground clearance.
Key Features: ASFIR Premium Armor
The ASFIR skid plate uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. No holes in your chassis means your Ford maintains its structural integrity and resale value.
Laser-cut 6mm aluminum provides the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. It's tough enough for rock crawling but light enough to prevent front-end sag.
Engineered with integrated reinforcing ribs that significantly increase the plate's rigidity, ensuring it won't deflect into your oil pan during a hard hit.
Custom air vents ensure your 6.2L gas engine and transmission receive proper airflow, preventing heat build-up during slow trail crawls.
All supporting steel brackets are zinc-coated to ensure maximum corrosion resistance against road salt and moisture.
Integrated drain holes allow water, pebbles, and dirt to escape, preventing debris buildup that can lead to hidden damage.
At only 24 lbs, this plate provides superior protection without the fuel economy penalty or suspension wear of heavy steel armor.
Vehicle-specific design ensures that every bolt aligns perfectly with the Ford F-Series chassis for a rattle-free experience.
Tested in Global ExtremesWe don't cut corners. The ASFIR 4X4 skid plate features heavy-duty aluminum construction that has been tested in the rigorous terrain of the Middle East. It is designed to take the hit so your transmission doesn't have to.

"The peace of mind this skid plate provides is worth every penny. I take my F-250 through deep washouts and rock gardens, and I've already heard a few loud 'clanks' that would have definitely punctured my oil pan if I was still running the stock plastic guard. The fit was perfect and install took less than an hour."

No, this specific skid plate is precision-engineered for the 6.2L V8 Gas (Flex) engine. The diesel engine has different oil pan and cooling line configurations that require a diesel-specific plate.
Absolutely not. This is a 100% bolt-on system. It utilizes existing factory mounting holes on your F-250/F-350 chassis, making it easy to install or remove for maintenance.
ASFIR skid plates are designed with integrated ventilation slots to allow hot air to escape and cool air to circulate around the transmission and engine. Most owners report zero change in operating temperatures.
Yes. Because it is lightweight (24 lbs) and a direct bolt-on, one person can typically install it in about 45-60 minutes with basic hand tools. A second set of hands is helpful but not required.
The plate includes strategic drain holes that prevent mud, pebbles, and water from being trapped against the chassis. This helps prevent corrosion and makes cleaning the underbody much easier after a weekend on the trails.

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
