The complete 4-piece kit weighs only 51 lbs, utilizing 1/4-inch (6mm) aerospace aluminum to provide heavy-duty shielding without the massive weight of steel kits.
Precision-engineered to clear Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) components, ensuring zero interference with hydraulics and full suspension articulation.
Designed for a seamless, no-drill installation using existing factory chassis mounting points, preserving your vehicle's structural integrity and resale value.
Comprehensive coverage for your engine, transmission, transfer case, and exhaust crossover, built with stiffening ribs to survive the most punishing trail impacts.
Full Underbody Shielding. KDSS-Specific Engineering. 1/4" Aerospace Aluminum.
The Ultimate Armor for the Lexus GX460The Lexus GX460 is an off-road powerhouse, but its underbelly is surprisingly exposed. From the vulnerable KDSS hydraulic lines to the low-hanging exhaust crossover and transmission pan, one wrong line on a rocky trail can lead to catastrophic damage. Factory plastic splash guards offer zero protection against real impacts.
This ASFIR 4-Piece Skid Plate Kit is specifically engineered for GX460 models with Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS). Built from laser-cut 1/4" (6mm) aluminum, it provides heavy-duty protection for the front, transmission, transfer case, and exhaust without the extreme weight penalty of steel.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Modern Lexus repairs are expensive. A punctured transmission pan or a damaged KDSS line can cost upwards of $4,000 and leave you stranded.
The ASFIR Solution: A complete, integrated shielding system that creates a smooth sliding surface, allowing your GX to glide over obstacles while keeping vital components bone-dry and dent-free.
Full Kit Features: 360° Underbody Protection
Specifically designed to clear KDSS hydraulic components and sway bars, ensuring no interference with suspension travel.
1/4" thick aerospace-grade aluminum offers extreme impact resistance while being 30-40% lighter than steel armor.
100% bolt-on design using factory chassis mounting points. Preserves vehicle resale value and structural integrity.
Every plate is reinforced with structural ribs to prevent flexing and denting during high-impact rock crawls.
Strategic slots ensure proper transmission and exhaust cooling while drain holes clear mud, snow, and trail debris.
Heavy-duty mounting hardware is treated with anti-corrosive zinc coating to withstand the harshest elements.
Tucked tight to the chassis to maintain maximum approach, breakover, and departure angles.
The entire 4-piece kit weighs just 51 lbs, minimizing the impact on your fuel economy and suspension performance.
Over-Engineered in IsraelASFIR 4x4 armor is battle-tested in the most demanding desert terrains. This kit doesn't just "fit"—it integrates. Every bend and laser-cut aperture is optimized for the GX460 V8 4.6L drivetrain, providing a shield you can trust when the trail gets technical.

"I was worried about my KDSS lines on the Rubicon Trail. This ASFIR kit fits perfectly and didn't interfere with the hydraulics at all. I took a few massive hits on the exhaust skid and it didn't even budge. It's so much lighter than the steel kits my friends are running, and my GX still handles like stock on the road."

2010 - 2023 Lexus GX460 (GAS / Automatic)KDSS Note: This kit includes specialized clearance for the KDSS hydraulic pistons and sway bar mounts, ensuring silent operation and full suspension articulation.
Includes all Zinc-Coated Mounting Brackets and Hardware.
No. This kit was specifically engineered for the KDSS chassis. It features precision-cut reliefs for the hydraulic cylinders and sway bars to ensure full articulation without rubbing or noise.
No drilling, welding, or cutting is required. The ASFIR kit uses a 100% bolt-on assembly that utilizes existing factory mounting holes in the frame.
The front skid plate features strategic apertures for ventilation; however, for a clean oil filter service, the plate is designed for easy removal with just a few bolts. Many owners also install an oil drain valve to simplify the process.
No. All ASFIR plates are designed with cooling slots and ventilation apertures to maintain factory-spec airflow around high-heat components like the transmission and exhaust.
Yes, it is a straightforward bolt-on installation. Because aluminum is significantly lighter than steel, most owners can install the plates using basic hand tools and a floor jack for support.

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.

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

I installed this on my M1102A trailer for organizing my camping gear and mounting my RTT and awning. It was a really easy install and was rock solid containing my gear down rugged dirt roads and washes last week. The sliding rear load bar was great for loading the motorcycles.

I’ve had the full-length rack on my Grenadier for about a year, and it has performed flawlessly. Not only is the design simple and aesthetically pleasing, it is highly practical for carrying any load. I consistently have over 400 lbs mounted on my rack at all times, and even through multiple trips through the washboards of Death Valley at 45 mph, the rack has remained steady and strong, with not one fastener coming loose. I’d buy this rack ten times before I’d consider another brand.
Limited space in bed. Now all my gear sits in the rack above. Made all the difference in what I can fit in this truck!!
needed something low profile but strong. This platform hit it out of the park. Put it on my ARE topper and couldn’t be happier! Assembly instructions could be clearer in showing top versus bottom, but got it together easy enough. Need to show the need for squaring up before mounting. Overall break pleased
Fit and finish first class. I made an error on my initial order, reached out to customer service and they had everything squared away with just a couple of emails. Great communication on shipping and shipping progress. Would definitely use these folks again.
I'm happy with my new racks, it's perfect for that I want.
We are very happy the rack fits the painted roof of our ‘25 Bronco Heritage. Leitner right now might be the only company that makes a rack that fits the painted roof. Typical great Leitner attention to detail
