Premium 6mm Aluminum Armor. 100% Bolt-On. Desert-Proven Reliability.
Bulletproof Protection for Your Lexus DrivetrainThe Lexus GX 460 is a legendary off-road platform, but its luxury pedigree hides a vulnerable underbelly. The transmission pan sits in a prime "strike zone" for rocks, stumps, and trail debris. A single high-centered moment can lead to a cracked housing, lost fluid, and a transmission failure that costs thousands to repair.
The ASFIR 4x4 Transmission Skid Plate is engineered from high-quality, laser-cut 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum. It provides the heavy-duty shielding required for serious overlanding without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel plates. Proudly made in Israel and tested in the world's most demanding deserts, it ensures your GX stays on the trail.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: The stock GX 460 offers almost zero protection for the transmission. One unlucky rock can result in a $5,000+ transmission replacement and a ruined expedition.
The ASFIR Solution: A precision-engineered, rib-reinforced aluminum shield that provides a smooth sliding surface over obstacles while protecting vital internal components.
Key Features: ASFIR Transmission Armor
1/4-inch thick laser-cut aluminum offers an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, protecting against heavy impacts without sagging.
A true 100% bolt-on design. Uses existing factory mounting points to ensure you maintain your Lexus's structural integrity and resale value.
Strategically placed ventilation slots allow for maximum airflow, preventing transmission fluid overheating during long trail crawls.
Engineered with built-in structural ribs that prevent the plate from flexing or denting under the weight of the vehicle.
At only 13 lbs, this plate provides heavy-duty protection without stressing your suspension or significantly impacting MPG.
Precision-cut holes allow water, mud, and gravel to drain away, preventing corrosion-causing build-up under your vehicle.
Includes heavy-duty steel brackets with a zinc coating for superior corrosion resistance against salt, mud, and snow.
Engineered to sit flush against the chassis, ensuring you lose zero ground clearance for your off-road maneuvers.
Tested in the World's Toughest ConditionsWe don't cut corners. This transmission skid plate was meticulously tested on the GX 460 V8 4.6L model to ensure a precise, rattle-free fit. It is designed to work seamlessly with the ASFIR front skid plate as part of a complete underbody armor ecosystem.
13 lbs Lightweight Armor 6mm Marine Grade Aluminum 100% No-Drill Install Israel Made In
"Living in Colorado, my GX sees a lot of sharp rocks and deep snow. The ASFIR transmission plate was a breeze to install—bolt holes lined up perfectly. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that expensive transmission pan isn't just hanging out in the open anymore. It's light, strong, and silent on the highway."

Designed specifically for the second-generation Lexus GX chassis. Compatible with:
2010 - 2023 Lexus GX 460 (4.6L V8)Compatibility Note: This plate is optimized for use with the ASFIR Front Skid Plate. If using other aftermarket front plates, minor modifications may be required for a perfect overlap.
Yes, it is designed to fit the Lexus GX 460 (V8 4.6L) from the 2010 model year through the final 2023 model year of the second generation.
No. Unlike solid steel plates that can trap heat, the ASFIR skid plate features integrated ventilation slots specifically designed to maintain proper airflow around the transmission housing.
No. This is a 100% no-drill, bolt-on system. It uses existing threaded holes in the frame, making it a simple job for any home mechanic with basic tools.
While designed for the ASFIR ecosystem, it can be used with other brands. However, since plates often overlap at the mounting points, you may need to perform minor filing or use spacers to achieve a perfect flush fit with non-ASFIR front plates.
Very easy. We've included large drain holes that allow mud, snow, and trail debris to wash out easily with a garden hose or pressure washer after your trip.

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
