Delivers industrial-strength impact protection while remaining 40% lighter than equivalent steel skid plates.
Precision-engineered to bolt directly into factory mounting points on your Forester SL—no permanent mods needed.
Comprehensive 4-piece kit protecting the engine, CVT transmission, rear differential, and fuel tank from trail hazards.
Marine-grade aluminum construction paired with zinc-coated brackets ensures armor that will never rust or corrode.
6mm Heavy-Duty Aluminum. Complete Underbody Armor. No-Drill Installation.
Maximum Protection for the Modern ForesterThe ASFIR 4X4 Full Skid Plate Kit is engineered specifically for the Subaru Forester SL. While the Forester is a legendary AWD machine, its factory underbody relies on thin plastic splash guards that offer zero protection against rocks, stumps, or jagged trail debris. This 4-piece kit transforms your vehicle's belly into a fortress.
Precision-built from 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum, this kit provides a complete shielding system for your 2.5L engine, transmission, rear differential, and fuel tank. It's designed to handle real-world impacts without sagging your suspension or compromising ground clearance.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Subaru CVTs and aluminum engine blocks are incredibly expensive to repair if punctured. Standard plastic covers are designed for aerodynamics, not for off-road impacts.
The ASFIR Solution: Lightweight 6mm aluminum armor that absorbs impact energy, features stiffening ribs for rigidity, and installs with Zero Drilling to preserve your factory warranty.
Key Features: Complete Armor System
Designed to mount directly to the Forester SL chassis. No drilling or cutting required, maintaining the vehicle's original integrity.
Laser-cut 1/4" aluminum provides superior strength with minimal weight (66 lbs total), ensuring your Forester stays nimble.
Strategically placed ventilation slots ensure your engine and CVT transmission remain cool, even during heavy off-road use.
Stiffening ribs are built into high-impact zones to provide maximum structural durability against vertical hits.
Supported by zinc-coated steel brackets to prevent rust and ensure the hardware lasts as long as your vehicle.
Specially designed drain holes allow pebbles, dirt, and water to escape, preventing buildup between the skid and the chassis.
Over-Engineered in IsraelASFIR 4X4 armor is tested in the harshest desert environments. We don't cut corners. Every plate features precision bends and hardware designed to withstand washboard roads without loosening.

"The peace of mind this kit provides is incredible. I took my 2025 Forester SL out on some fire roads and high-centered on a hidden stump. The ASFIR front 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 SL Owner Important Fitment NoteTrim Compatibility: This kit is specifically for the Subaru Forester SL. It is NOT compatible with the Forester Wilderness trim due to suspension and bumper geometry differences.

No. The Forester Wilderness trim has a different ride height and bumper design. This kit is precision-matched specifically for the Forester SL trim only.
Absolutely not. ASFIR engineers their plates with ventilation slots designed to facilitate factory-spec airflow around the engine and CVT, ensuring your Subaru stays within safe operating temperatures.
ASFIR designs their front skid plates with serviceability in mind. Most routine maintenance can be performed through the integrated access points. However, dropping the plate only takes a few minutes if full access is required by your mechanic.
The total weight of all 4 plates and hardware is approximately 66 lbs (30 kg). Because it is distributed across the entire underbody and made of aluminum, it has a negligible effect on your center of gravity or MPG.
No. This kit is a 100% Bolt-On system. It utilizes existing mounting points on the Forester SL chassis for a clean, secure install.

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.

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

I installed this on my M1102A trailer for organizing my camping gear and mounting my RTT and awning. It was a really easy install and was rock solid containing my gear down rugged dirt roads and washes last week. The sliding rear load bar was great for loading the motorcycles.

I’ve had the full-length rack on my Grenadier for about a year, and it has performed flawlessly. Not only is the design simple and aesthetically pleasing, it is highly practical for carrying any load. I consistently have over 400 lbs mounted on my rack at all times, and even through multiple trips through the washboards of Death Valley at 45 mph, the rack has remained steady and strong, with not one fastener coming loose. I’d buy this rack ten times before I’d consider another brand.
Limited space in bed. Now all my gear sits in the rack above. Made all the difference in what I can fit in this truck!!
needed something low profile but strong. This platform hit it out of the park. Put it on my ARE topper and couldn’t be happier! Assembly instructions could be clearer in showing top versus bottom, but got it together easy enough. Need to show the need for squaring up before mounting. Overall break pleased
Fit and finish first class. I made an error on my initial order, reached out to customer service and they had everything squared away with just a couple of emails. Great communication on shipping and shipping progress. Would definitely use these folks again.
I'm happy with my new racks, it's perfect for that I want.
We are very happy the rack fits the painted roof of our ‘25 Bronco Heritage. Leitner right now might be the only company that makes a rack that fits the painted roof. Typical great Leitner attention to detail
