6mm High-Grade Aluminum. KDSS-Specific Fitment. 100% Bolt-On Underbody Armor.
Maximum Protection for Your KDSS-Equipped RigThe Asfir 4x4 Front Skid Plate is engineered specifically for the Toyota 4Runner (2010-2024) and Lexus GX 460 (2010-2023) equipped with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS). Protecting your front-end components shouldn't mean sacrificing the functionality of your advanced suspension.
Fabricated from 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum, this armor provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio. While traditional steel plates are heavy and prone to rust, Asfir’s aluminum solution keeps your center of gravity low and your chassis protected from salt, mud, and rocks.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Most aftermarket skid plates interfere with the oversized KDSS sway bar or trap massive amounts of mud and heat against the engine block.
The Asfir Solution: Our plate features a specialized KDSS-clearance profile, integrated air vents to reduce heat buildup, and drain holes to ensure debris doesn't stay trapped after a day on the trail.
Key Features: ASFIR Front Armor
Unlike "universal" plates, this is precision-cut to clear the unique geometry of the KDSS sway bar system without rubbing or noise.
Laser-cut for high precision, offering maximum defense against jagged rocks while adding only 31 lbs to your vehicle.
Reinforced with integrated structural ribs that distribute impact forces, preventing the plate from deforming under heavy stress.
Mounted via zinc-coated steel brackets that resist rust and road salt, ensuring a lifetime of service in harsh environments.
Equipped with engineered air vents to allow proper airflow to the radiator and front differential, preventing overheating during slow crawls.
Strategically placed drain holes allow water and mud to escape, preventing the buildup of "trail weight" and underbody rot.
*Repair costs are estimates. Does not include towing, rental car, or lost adventure time.
Trail-Tested EngineeringProudly made in Israel, Asfir 4x4 products are tested in some of the world's most unforgiving terrain. This skid plate isn't just a barrier; it's a reinforced shield designed to preserve your ground clearance while absorbing the punishment of the trail.
31 lbs Total Weight 6mm Aluminum Thickness Bolt-On Installation KDSS Compatibility
"Finding a skid plate that actually fits the KDSS sway bar without rubbing was a nightmare until I found Asfir. The installation was truly bolt-on—no drilling into my frame. The aluminum is incredibly thick, but I didn't feel any difference in front-end sag. It’s handled multiple hits on the rocks and just has a few scratches to show for it."
- David K., Toyota 4Runner Owner Important Note for Lexus GX 460 OwnersServiceability Note: Due to the specific engine layout of the Lexus GX 460, the oil filter is not accessible while the skid plate is installed. You will need to remove the skid plate during oil changes. Please plan your maintenance accordingly.

This skid plate is designed specifically for vehicles equipped with KDSS. Fitment includes:
2010 - 2024 Toyota 4Runner (KDSS Only) 2010 - 2023 Lexus GX 460 (KDSS Only)Package Includes: 6mm Aluminum Skid Plate, Zinc-Coated Steel Brackets, and all necessary Grade 10.9 mounting hardware.
This specific part number is contoured for the KDSS sway bar system. While it may technically mount to a non-KDSS vehicle, we recommend purchasing the standard Asfir non-KDSS plate for the most optimal fit and maximum ground clearance on those models.
No. The Asfir front skid plate is a 100% bolt-on solution. It uses existing factory mounting points on your chassis, making it easy to install at home with basic hand tools.
For 4Runner owners, the drain plug is typically accessible. However, Lexus GX 460 owners must remove the skid plate to access the oil filter. Removing the plate is simple thanks to the bolt-on hardware.
Aluminum is naturally resistant to the deep rust that plagues steel plates. Additionally, we use zinc-coated steel brackets to prevent galvanic corrosion, making this an ideal choice for vehicles in the "Salt Belt."

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
