6mm Laser-Cut Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Professional Drivetrain Shield.
Maximum Protection for Luxury PerformanceThe Land Rover Discovery 5 and Range Rover Sport are masters of both highway speed and off-road technicality. However, their sophisticated 2.0L and 3.0L diesel drivetrains sit behind fragile factory splash guards. The ASFIR 4x4 Engine & Transmission Skid Plate provides the industrial-grade defense required for serious exploration.
Precision-manufactured from 1/4" (6mm) laser-cut aluminum, this skid plate offers a massive strength upgrade over stock parts without the weight penalty of steel. It is engineered to follow the precise contours of your vehicle's chassis, ensuring maximum protection for the oil pan and transmission housing.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Modern Land Rovers are packed with cooling lines and sensitive electronics near the underbody. A single hidden stump can cause a "Restricted Performance" error or a total engine loss, often totaling thousands in repairs.
The ASFIR Solution: High-grade 6mm Aluminum armor that utilizes a 100% Bolt-On design to absorb impacts and slide over obstacles while maintaining your vehicle's high-end performance.
Key Features: ASFIR Underbody Defense
Designed as a direct bolt-on system using existing chassis mounting points. No permanent modifications to your luxury SUV.
Crafted from high-quality 1/4" aluminum. It provides superior impact resistance while being significantly lighter than steel armor.
The plate is reinforced with deep-pressed stiffening ribs to maximize rigidity and prevent bending under heavy vertical strikes.
Strategic air slots maintain optimal airflow to the engine and transmission, preventing heat build-up during technical low-range driving.
Integrated drain holes allow mud, sand, and water to clear out instantly, reducing the risk of corrosion and trapped weight.
Vehicle-specific design ensures the tightest possible fit to the underbody, preserving Land Rover's legendary ground clearance.
Includes heavy-duty zinc-coated steel brackets and high-tensile hardware to resist rust in salty or wet conditions.
Engineered to be easily removable for maintenance, allowing technicians quick access to the engine sump and transmission.
Tested in the World's Harshest TerrainWhether you're exploring the Australian Outback or the rocky mountain passes of the USA, ASFIR armor is built to handle it. Weighing just 51 lbs, this dual-component plate protects both the engine and transmission, providing a smooth surface that helps you "skid" over obstacles that would snag a stock underbody.

"The peace of mind this plate gives me on rocky trails is worth every penny. I hit a hidden rock on a creek crossing that would have definitely punctured my transmission pan. The ASFIR plate took the hit, sustained only a minor scratch, and I drove home without a single issue. Installation was very straightforward for a DIY project."

Discovery 5 (2017+) Range Rover Sport (2017 - 2022) Fits 2.0L & 3.0L EnginesExpert Note: This skid plate is the primary defense for your vehicle. For total 360-degree security, we recommend combining it with the ASFIR Fuel Tank and Rear Differential guards.
No. ASFIR has designed this plate with dedicated high-flow ventilation slots to ensure that your radiator and transmission receive consistent airflow, maintaining factory operating temperatures even under load.
Yes. The plate is designed to clear all air suspension components. Because it is made of lightweight aluminum (51 lbs), it does not put any undue stress on the air struts or affect your vehicle's height logic.
No. The ASFIR system is a 100% bolt-on assembly. It uses the existing factory mounting points on the Discovery 5 and Range Rover Sport chassis, making installation straightforward with basic tools.
Yes. This specific plate is precision-cut to accommodate the drivetrain geometry of both the 2.0L and 3.0L diesel and gas configurations for the L462 and L494 platforms.
Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant. Combined with our zinc-coated steel brackets, this skid plate is designed to handle mud, salt, and water far better than traditional steel guards that can rust and weaken over time.

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
