Description

ASFIR 4X4 Subaru Forester Full Skid Plate Kit (3 Pcs) | 2019-2024

6mm Heavy-Duty Aluminum. Complete Underbody Protection. 100% Bolt-On Armor.

Turn Your Forester Into a Trail Fortress

The ASFIR 4X4 Full Skid Plate Kit is engineered to bridge the gap between a daily driver and a serious overlanding machine. While the Subaru Forester is famous for its Symmetrical AWD, its factory underbody remains vulnerable, relying on thin plastic splash guards that offer zero defense against rocks, stumps, or jagged debris.

Manufactured and tested in the world's most unforgiving terrains, this 3-piece kit is precision-built from 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum. It provides the essential shielding your Boxer engine and CVT transmission need to survive the trail without the weight penalty of heavy steel plates.

Why ASFIR Protection:

The Pain: Modern Subaru CVTs and oil pans are incredibly expensive to replace. A single rock strike on a remote trail can turn a weekend camping trip into a $5,000 repair bill and a long tow home.
The ASFIR Solution: Lightweight, reinforced 6mm aluminum armor that absorbs impact energy, features stiffening ribs for maximum rigidity, and installs with Zero Drilling.

Key Features: Total Underbody Defense

No Drilling Required

The ASFIR kit uses a 100% bolt-on design, utilizing existing factory mounting points to preserve your Subaru's frame integrity and resale value.

6mm Premium Aluminum

Crafted from high-grade 1/4" aluminum, offering an incredible strength-to-weight ratio that won't rust or sag your suspension.

Stiffening Ribs

Integrated reinforcing ribs are laser-pressed into the aluminum to provide extra rigidity in high-stress zones.

Integrated Airflow

Strategically placed air vents prevent heat build-up around the transmission and engine, while drain holes allow mud and water to escape easily.

Zinc-Coated Brackets

All mounting hardware is supported by corrosion-resistant steel brackets, ensuring long-term durability in wet and salty environments.

Full Drivetrain Guard

Provides front-to-back shielding for the engine oil pan, CVT transmission housing, and the rear differential unit.

Engineered for the Overlander

We don't cut corners. The ASFIR 4X4 kit accounts for the Forester's ground clearance, hugging the chassis as tightly as possible to ensure you don't lose approach or breakover angles while gaining industrial-grade protection.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"I took my 2020 Forester onto some fire roads in the Sierras and high-centered on a hidden stump. The ASFIR plate took the hit perfectly. If I had the factory plastic guard, my oil pan would have been history. The install was surprisingly easy—truly bolt-on!"

- David L., Forester Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will this kit fit the Forester Wilderness?

Yes, this kit is specifically designed to fit the Subaru Forester Wilderness (2022-2024) as well as the standard 2019-2021 models. It works perfectly with the Wilderness suspension and factory ride height.

+ Does this skid plate interfere with oil changes?

ASFIR designs their plates with service access ports. Most routine maintenance can be performed through the integrated openings. However, the plate can be easily unbolted if full access is required, taking only a few minutes with standard hand tools.

+ Will the 6mm aluminum affect my car's cooling?

No. The ASFIR plates feature specifically engineered ventilation slots that facilitate factory-spec airflow around the engine and CVT housing. Aluminum also dissipates heat more effectively than steel or plastic guards.

+ How much weight does this add to the Forester?

The entire 3-piece kit weighs approximately 58 lbs (26 kg). Because this weight is mounted low on the chassis, it has a negligible effect on the center of gravity and is significantly lighter than an equivalent steel skid plate system.

+ Is any drilling required for the installation?

No. This is a 100% bolt-on system. It utilizes existing mounting points on the Forester's frame, making it a non-permanent modification that preserves your factory warranty.

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
