6mm Heavy-Duty Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On. Engineered for the Toughest Trails.
Armor That Keeps You From Getting StrandedThe ASFIR 4X4 Fuel Tank Skid Plate is the ultimate insurance policy for your Nissan Frontier. While factory "protection" is often just plastic or thin stamped steel, ASFIR provides 1/4" (6mm) laser-cut aluminum that is built to take a hit and keep moving.
Tested on the rugged terrain of the Middle East and designed specifically for the Frontier chassis, this skid plate shields your vulnerable fuel tank from sharp rocks, stumps, and high-centering hazards without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel armor.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: A punctured fuel tank isn't just an expensive repair—it's a life-threatening mechanical failure that leaves you stranded deep in the backcountry.
The ASFIR Solution: Lightweight yet ultra-rigid 6mm aluminum construction with integrated stiffening ribs and a 100% bolt-on design that requires zero vehicle modification.
Key Features: ASFIR Off-Road Protection
Superior strength-to-weight ratio. Provides heavy-duty protection while adding only 22 lbs to your vehicle's weight.
Mounts directly to existing chassis points. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications required to your Frontier.
Reinforced structural design ensures the plate won't deform or buckle under heavy direct impact.
Built-in drain holes allow water, mud, and trail dirt to escape, preventing corrosion and unnecessary weight buildup.
Comes with heavy-duty steel brackets coated in zinc to resist rust and road salt over years of use.
Engineered with air vents to reduce heat build-up around the fuel system while maintaining maximum coverage.
Uncompromising Build QualityASFIR 4X4 has been a global leader in off-road protection for over 30 years. This skid plate isn't just a flat sheet of metal; it is a vehicle-specific engineered part that follows the contours of the Nissan Frontier frame to preserve every inch of ground clearance.

"Living in the Southwest, rocks are unavoidable. I've already come down hard on the ASFIR plate twice on the Dusy-Ershim trail. It took the hit like a champ with only a minor scratch. The peace of mind knowing my gas tank isn't going to explode on a sharp ledge is worth every penny. Install took me about 30 minutes in my driveway."

No drilling or cutting is required. The ASFIR Fuel Tank Skid Plate is designed as a direct bolt-on system using the vehicle's existing mounting points and the included zinc-coated steel brackets.
While steel is harder, it is significantly heavier and prone to rust. ASFIR uses high-quality 6mm (1/4") aluminum which provides excellent impact absorption. For most overlanding and off-road use, it offers the perfect balance of protection without destroying your fuel economy or sagging your suspension.
The plate features strategically placed drain holes and air vents. This allows water and mud to clear out easily during cleaning and prevents debris from being trapped against your fuel tank.
Yes, this is a very DIY-friendly install. Since it weighs only 22 lbs, it can typically be positioned and bolted in by one person using basic hand tools.

California Residents
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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
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
