Heavy-Duty 6mm Aluminum Armor. 100% Bolt-On. Total Underbody Security.
Bulletproof Defense for Your FJ’s VitalsThe Asfir 4x4 Transfer Case & Fuel Tank Skid Plate is the ultimate insurance policy for your FJ Cruiser. When navigating rocky terrain, your transfer case and fuel tank are the most vulnerable points on your chassis. A single sharp rock can puncture a tank or crack a housing, leaving you stranded in the backcountry.
Engineered from 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum, this armor provides massive impact resistance without the excessive weight of steel. It is designed to "sled" over obstacles, protecting your drivetrain while maintaining essential ground clearance.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: The FJ Cruiser's factory fuel tank protection is notoriously thin, and the transfer case is often left exposed to "hang-ups" on the trail.
The Asfir Solution: We use reinforced stiffening ribs and a precision-fit design to shield both components simultaneously. It’s lightweight, rust-proof, and requires zero drilling.
Key Features: FJ Underbody Armor
Uses a 100% bolt-on design that utilizes factory mounting points. No permanent vehicle modifications are needed.
Laser-cut 1/4" aluminum provides superior strength while keeping the total weight at an efficient 44 lbs.
Reinforced with structural ribs to prevent bending and deformation under heavy trail impacts.
Engineered with ventilation slots to reduce heat build-up around the transfer case during high-load operation.
Allows for the quick removal of mud, water, and trail debris, making post-trip cleanup effortless.
Comes with zinc-coated steel brackets to provide secure, corrosion-resistant attachment to the chassis.
Designed specifically for the FJ Cruiser to maintain maximum ground clearance for better off-road capability.
Proudly engineered and manufactured in Israel, home to some of the world's most rigorous off-road testing.
Tested in the World's Toughest DesertsAsfir 4x4 has been the global leader in underbody protection for decades. We don't cut corners. This skid plate uses aerospace-grade aluminum that is naturally resistant to corrosion, unlike traditional steel plates that rust after the first scratch.
44 lbs Lightweight Armor 1/4" Aluminum Thickness Zinc Coated Brackets 2-in-1 T-Case & Fuel Shield"Living in the desert, I've seen too many FJ fuel tanks get scraped up. The Asfir plate was a 30-minute install. I recently high-centered on a shelf and the truck just slid right off. The aluminum has a few scratches, but the tank is perfect. No rust, no rattling, just solid protection."

Precision designed specifically for the Toyota FJ Cruiser chassis. Fits the following years:
2007 - 2014 FJ CruiserConfiguration: Optimized for Automatic Transmission models. This plate is part of the full modular protection system that covers your FJ from bumper to bumper.
No. The Asfir FJ Cruiser Skid Plate is a 100% bolt-on system. It installs directly into the factory threaded holes provided by Toyota in the chassis. Basic hand tools are all you need for installation.
We have engineered strategic air vents into the design of the plate to ensure proper airflow around the transfer case. This manages heat buildup during slow crawling or highway driving while still maintaining maximum impact protection.
The plate weighs approximately 44 lbs (20 kg). Because it is made from 6mm aluminum rather than steel, you get equivalent protection without the heavy penalty on your fuel economy or front-end suspension sag.
This specific model is engineered and verified for the Automatic Transmission models. While the chassis points are similar, we recommend confirming with our team for manual transmission fitment to ensure there is no interference with the gear shifter linkage.
Yes. High-quality 1/4" aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant. It won't rust like steel when the powder coat is scratched. This makes it ideal for coastal environments, beach driving, or muddy conditions.

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
We get it. You've got a lot of choice when it comes to online retailers.
Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
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
