1/4" Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel. Maximum Front-End Shielding. 100% Bolt-On.
The Toughest Line of Defense for Your CumminsThe ASFIR 4X4 RAM 3500 Intercooler Protector is engineered for those who push their Heavy Duty trucks to the limit. Unlike the standard drivetrain plates, this protector is crafted from 1/4" (6 mm) stainless steel, providing superior resistance against the constant "sandblasting" effect of gravel roads and high-velocity trail debris.
This shield is specifically tailored for the RAM 3500 SWB and LWB platforms. It guards the sensitive intercooler and radiator—the lifeblood of your Cummins turbo-diesel—without adding the excessive weight of a full steel underbody system.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: The RAM 3500's intercooler is positioned low and wide, making it a primary target for rocks and stumps. A single puncture can lead to immediate boost loss, "Limp Mode," or severe engine overheating.
The ASFIR Solution: High-strength stainless steel armor that offers more impact resistance than aluminum, combined with precision ventilation to maintain factory-spec cooling.
Key Features: RAM 3500 Front Armor
The protector uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. No holes in your frame means your RAM 3500 maintains its structural integrity and resale value.
While most plates use aluminum, this front shield uses 6mm stainless steel for extreme durability against sharp rock impacts and road salt.
Strategically placed laser-cut vents ensure that your intercooler receives maximum airflow, maintaining engine performance even when towing heavy loads.
Stainless steel construction paired with zinc-coated brackets provides a dual-layer defense against rust and trail grime.
Tested in the Harshest EnvironmentsASFIR armor is battle-tested. This intercooler protector features reinforced stiffening ribs to maximize structural rigidity. The integrated drain holes ensure that mud and water escape quickly, preventing moisture buildup against your cooling system.

"The intercooler on my RAM was sitting out there like a target. I installed the ASFIR stainless steel protector in about 30 minutes. It feels solid as a rock. I've already taken a hit from a flying tire tread on the highway and the plate didn't even flinch. It looks clean and doesn't affect my temps at all."

Fitment: RAM 3500 HDDesigned specifically for the heavy-duty RAM front architecture. Compatible with:
Short Wheelbase (SWB) Models Long Wheelbase (LWB) Models 2019+ RAM 3500 DieselExpert Tip: This skid plate is a critical part of a complete protection system. Combine it with ASFIR's Transmission and Transfer Case plates for front-to-back underbody armor.
CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
The ASFIR protector is designed to work with the factory front structure. Most aftermarket bumpers that follow standard mounting configurations will be compatible. If your bumper has extremely low support bars, minor bracket adjustment may be needed.
No. The plate includes specifically designed airflow vents that facilitate factory-spec cooling. Most owners report zero changes in EGTs or radiator fluid temperatures after installation.
No. This is a 100% bolt-on installation. It utilizes the factory threaded holes already present in the RAM 3500 frame.
For the front-most part of the vehicle, stainless steel offers superior resistance to "gravel peening" and high-velocity debris strikes compared to aluminum. It provides maximum durability where the impacts are most direct.
The ASFIR plate is designed to hug the radiator support as closely as possible. You will experience negligible clearance loss, far outweighed by the smooth surface that lets you slide over obstacles.

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
