Engineered for Real Off-Road Protection. 6mm Aerospace Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On.
Shield Your Adventure with ASFIR ArmorThe ASFIR 4x4 Front Skid Plate for the Subaru XV Crosstrek is built for those who push their Subie beyond the pavement. While the factory plastic splash guards are designed for city debris, ASFIR provides the heavy-duty shielding required for rocky trails and unpredictable terrain.
Crafted from 1/4" (6mm) high-quality aluminum and laser-cut for a precision fit, this skid plate protects the engine and oil pan without adding the excessive weight of traditional steel. Proudly made in Israel, it is the ultimate upgrade for 2023+ 2.0L, 2.5L, and 2024+ Wilderness owners.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: Modern Subaru oil pans sit low. A single hidden rock or a deep rut can crack your pan, leading to engine failure miles from help.
The ASFIR Solution: A reinforced, rib-stiffened aluminum shield that absorbs impacts and slides over obstacles while maintaining maximum ground clearance.
Key Features: Heavy Duty Underbody Armor
Massive protection with a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to heavy steel plates.
Uses factory mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications required to your Subaru.
Reinforced structural ribs provide extreme durability during high-impact off-road encounters.
Strategic air vents ensure proper heat dissipation for your engine, even during slow trail crawls.
Support brackets are treated with a zinc coating to prevent corrosion in salted or muddy conditions.
Designed with openings to clear out mud and debris, ensuring your underbody stays clean.
Specifically tested to fit the 2024+ Crosstrek Wilderness trims with the 2.5L engine.
Follows the vehicle's chassis lines to minimize clearance loss and maintain highway MPG.
Tested in Rugged EnvironmentsEvery ASFIR skid plate undergoes rigorous testing in the diverse terrains of Israel. This front plate is engineered to handle the specific heat and impact requirements of the Subaru boxer engine layout. It provides a solid barrier against stumps, rocks, and debris while remaining lightweight enough to preserve your Crosstrek's nimble handling.

"Installed this on my 2024 Wilderness. The fit is perfect and it doesn't rattle at all on the highway. I've already taken a few hard hits on some forest service roads that would have shredded the factory plastic shield. The 6mm aluminum is no joke—it's surprisingly light but feels incredibly solid. Best peace of mind upgrade you can buy for a Subaru."

This skid plate is precision-engineered for the current generation Subaru Crosstrek chassis. It fits the following configurations:
2023+ Subaru Crosstrek (2.0L / 2.5L GAS) 2024+ Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness (2.5L GAS)Note: Designed specifically for Automatic CVT gearboxes. This plate is an essential component of ASFIR's complete underbody protection system.
Yes! This skid plate is fully compatible with the 2024+ Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness trims equipped with the 2.5L engine.
No. This is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes the existing factory mounting points on your Crosstrek's chassis.
The skid plate includes drain holes for debris; however, for a clean oil change, we recommend either removing the plate (which is simple due to the bolt-on design) or using an oil drain valve (like a Fumoto valve) for easier access.
ASFIR has engineered this plate with specific air vents to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation, ensuring your engine stays within safe operating temperatures even in demanding conditions.
The ASFIR skid plate is designed to follow the vehicle's structure closely. Clearance loss is minimal (typically less than 1/4 inch), as the plate replaces the space previously occupied by the bulky factory plastic shielding.

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
