Lightweight 4mm Aluminum. Aerodynamic Profile. 100% No-Drill Installation.
Adventure-Ready Utility Without the BulkThe ASFIR 4X4 Subaru Forester Roof Rack is precision-engineered to transform your vehicle into a versatile adventure machine. Crafted from high-grade 5/32" (4 mm) aluminum, this rack provides the perfect balance of strength and lightweight performance, ensuring you can carry your gear without compromising the Forester's legendary fuel efficiency or handling.
This rack features a sleek, low-profile aerodynamic design that significantly reduces wind drag and cabin noise. It's the ideal platform for overlanding, camping gear, or everyday utility, providing a rugged aesthetic that complements the Forester's natural lines.
Why ASFIR Rack:The Pain: Most aftermarket racks are heavy, cause deafening wind whistle at highway speeds, and require permanent drilling that ruins your Subaru's resale value.
The ASFIR Solution: Our Aerodynamic Profile and 100% Bolt-On design mean a silent ride, no permanent modifications, and a rack that weighs only 37.5 lbs while supporting a 132 lb load.
Key Features: ASFIR Forester Roof Platform
The rack installs directly to factory mounting points. No holes in your roof means your Forester remains leak-free and maintains its value.
Thick 5/32" aluminum provides a rigid platform that won't flex under load, finished in a tough black powder coat for ultimate rust protection.
Integrated mounting points allow for easy attachment of rooftop lights, recovery boards, or awnings without complex brackets.
Standing only 5.9 inches tall, this rack keeps your center of gravity low and minimizes wind resistance for a quieter highway drive.
Engineered for the Forester PlatformSubaru owners demand reliability. We've trail-tested this rack in harsh off-road environments to ensure it won't rattle or loosen on washboard roads. The lightweight 37.5 lb construction makes it easy for a two-person installation and removal.

"I was worried about wind noise on my daily commute, but the ASFIR rack is surprisingly quiet. It was a true bolt-on install—took me about 45 minutes with a friend. I've used it for camping trips and hauling kayaks; it's rock solid and looks much better than those bulky generic baskets."

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Any roof accessory has a minor impact on aerodynamics. However, because the ASFIR rack is lightweight aluminum and features an aerodynamic profile, the MPG drop is significantly less than that of tall, steel cargo baskets.
Yes. The ASFIR rack is designed to clear the factory sunroof opening. However, we recommend checking the clearance if you are mounting large accessories directly above the glass area.
No. This rack is a 100% No-Drill system. It uses the factory mounting points on your Forester's roof rail system for a secure, non-permanent installation.
The rack is rated for a maximum dynamic load of 132 lb (60 kg). Always consult your Subaru owner's manual to verify the maximum weight your specific vehicle roof can handle while in motion.
We recommend touchless car washes only. High-pressure rotating brushes in standard washes can snag on the rack or mounting hardware, potentially causing damage to the vehicle or the rack.

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
