Description

Asfir 4x4 Aluminum Front Skid Plate: Subaru Forester SK Series

1/4-Inch Laser-Cut Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Heavy-Duty Engine & Oil Pan Protection.

Serious Protection for Your Forester’s Vital Organs

Transform your Subaru Forester from a soft-roader into a trail-ready explorer with the Asfir 4x4 Front Skid Plate. Engineered from high-quality 1/4-inch (6mm) laser-cut aluminum, this plate offers the ultimate shield for your engine and oil pan without the heavy weight of traditional steel armor.

Designed specifically for the Subaru Forester SK chassis (2019-2021) and the Wilderness edition (2022+), this armor is precision-built for drivers who demand performance in extreme off-road environments. Whether it's jagged rocks or hidden stumps, Asfir ensures you make it back to the pavement in one piece.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: The factory plastic "splash guard" offers zero protection against impact, and a single rock strike to your aluminum oil pan can result in a catastrophic engine failure and a multi-thousand dollar repair bill.
The Asfir Solution: We provide a 100% Bolt-On armor system using zinc-coated steel brackets for maximum security. Our marine-grade aluminum will never rust and features a vehicle-specific fit that preserves your ground clearance.

Forester Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"Installed this on my 2020 Forester Sport and the fit was absolute perfection. I was worried about the weight affecting the CVT or the handling, but at ~26lbs, it's a non-issue. I've already high-centered on a rocky ridge in Moab and this plate took the hit like a champ. Saved my oil pan from a certain puncture. Best upgrade I've made yet!"

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does this skid plate fit the Forester Wilderness?

Yes. This skid plate is compatible with the 2022-2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness edition with the 2.5L engine.

+ Can I still change my oil with this plate installed?

Yes. The Asfir front skid plate includes drainage holes and access points for the engine oil filter and drain plug, so you don't have to remove the plate for routine oil changes.

+ Is any drilling required for installation?

No. This is a 100% bolt-on system. It uses the existing factory mounting holes and the included zinc-coated steel brackets to secure the plate to the chassis.

+ Why choose aluminum over steel?

Aluminum is roughly 1/3 the weight of steel. By using 1/4" aluminum, you get a plate that is incredibly strong but light enough that it doesn't cause the front suspension to sag or negatively impact your MPG and CVT performance.

+ Will this fit my Australian Forester Premium?

No. As noted in the fitment details, this product is specifically not compatible with the Subaru Forester Premium model sold in the Australian market.

Prop 65

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
