Precision-built from 1/4" (6mm) aluminum, providing heavy-duty impact protection at nearly half the weight of traditional steel.
Full-length coverage for your Subaru's most vital components: Engine, Transmission, Fuel Tank, and Rear Differential.
True vehicle-specific fitment that uses existing factory mounting points for a secure installation with zero drilling or cutting.
Integrated ventilation slots and drainage holes allow heat, water, and trail debris to escape while maintaining maximum airflow.
Heavy-Duty 6mm Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On Protection. Engineered for the Toughest Trails.
Bulletproof Underbody Armor for Your CrosstrekThe ASFIR 4X4 Full Skid Plate Kit is the ultimate insurance policy for your Subaru XV or Crosstrek. While the Crosstrek is a champion of light off-roading, its factory "protection" is often nothing more than plastic splash guards. One misplaced rock can lead to a punctured oil pan or a cracked transmission case.
Engineered and tested in harsh desert environments, this 4-piece kit replaces vulnerable components with 1/4" (6mm) high-quality laser-cut aluminum. It's designed to "slide" over obstacles rather than hanging up, ensuring you get home every time.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Factory plastic covers offer zero impact protection, and many aftermarket steel plates are too heavy, causing front-end sag.
The ASFIR Solution: We use 6mm Aluminum which offers superior strength at nearly half the weight of steel, featuring a Direct Bolt-On design that requires zero drilling.
Key Features: ASFIR Full Armor System
Constructed from premium laser-cut aluminum for the perfect balance of extreme impact resistance and lightweight performance.
Uses factory mounting points for a true bolt-on installation. No cutting or welding required—maintain your Subaru's integrity.
Strategically placed drain holes and ventilation slots allow for easy oil changes and prevent heat buildup in the drivetrain.
Reinforced with structural ribs in high-impact areas to prevent bowing or warping during heavy landings on rocks.
Aluminum naturally resists rust, and our mounting brackets are zinc-coated to withstand salted winter roads and muddy trails.
Total protection for the Front Engine, Transmission, Fuel Tank, and Rear Differential in one comprehensive kit.
The slim-profile design hugs the chassis closely, ensuring you don't lose valuable breakover angle while gaining protection.
Vehicle-specific design ensures no rattling or interference with steering or suspension components.
Engineered Strength, Lightweight PerformanceOff-roading in a Subaru requires a different approach than a heavy truck. Weight is the enemy of fuel economy and handling. ASFIR uses high-strength 6mm aluminum to provide the protection of steel at 40% less weight.

"Living in Colorado, the stock plastic guards on my Crosstrek were shredded after one season. The ASFIR kit was a game-changer. The fitment was perfect—it took me about 2 hours in my driveway with basic tools. I've already 'tapped' the front plate on a few rocks that would have definitely killed my oil pan. Best peace of mind you can buy for a Subaru."
- Mark S., Subaru Crosstrek Owner Safety & Performance NoteMaintain Your Investment: While these plates are designed for maximum protection, always inspect your skid plates after heavy impacts. The aluminum is designed to absorb and deflect energy, which may result in minor surface gouges—better the plate than your engine!

The ASFIR skid plates are designed to be extremely low-profile, hugging the vehicle's components closely. While you may lose a fraction of an inch (6mm plate thickness), the smooth surface allows you to slide over obstacles that would otherwise snag on the chassis, effectively improving your off-road mobility.
The Front Engine Skid Plate includes specific drain holes to allow for oil drainage and filter access without removing the entire plate. However, depending on your tools and oil pan plug orientation, some users find it easier to drop the plate for a completely mess-free oil change.
Aluminum is the ideal choice for Subarus. Steel is much heavier, which can cause the front suspension to sag and negatively impact fuel economy. 6mm aluminum provides excellent impact protection, does not rust, and "bounces back" better than steel in many scenarios.
No. This is a 100% bolt-on kit. It utilizes existing factory holes and mounting points on the Subaru chassis. No drilling, cutting, or welding is required for the 2018-2023 Crosstrek/XV models.
This specific kit is optimized for Automatic CVT models. While some components like the Rear Differential and Fuel Tank plates are universal, the Transmission plate is designed around the CVT housing. Please contact us if you have a Manual Transmission model to confirm fitment.

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
