Full Drivetrain Armor. 6mm Laser-Cut Aluminum. 100% No-Drill Installation.
Total Underbody Command for the Toyota HiluxThe Asfir 4x4 Engine, Transmission & Transfer Case Skid Plate is the ultimate defensive shield for your Toyota Hilux. While most underbody guards focus only on the front, this comprehensive kit covers the entire drivetrain "vital zone." From the engine oil pan to the sensitive transfer case, your truck is fully armored against jagged rocks, deep ruts, and hidden trail obstacles.
Precision-engineered and manufactured in Israel, this skid plate is crafted from 1/4" (6 mm) high-grade aluminum. It provides the heavy-duty protection of steel at nearly half the weight, ensuring your Hilux maintains its legendary performance and fuel efficiency while becoming virtually bulletproof underneath.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: A single rock strike to the transfer case in a remote location doesn't just mean an expensive repair—it means being stranded.
The Asfir Solution: We offer a Full-Length 6mm Shield that uses a 100% Bolt-On design, protecting every critical mechanical component without requiring permanent vehicle modifications.
Key Features: Complete Drivetrain Armor
One seamless system to protect your engine oil pan, transmission case, and transfer case from high-impact damage.
1/4-inch laser-cut aluminum plate provides incredible strength-to-weight ratio, resisting gouging and bending.
Designed for a 100% bolt-on assembly using factory mounting points. No holes in your chassis means no rust or resale loss.
Reinforced with pressed ribs that significantly increase the plate's rigidity against heavy vertical impacts.
Strategically placed ventilation slots allow for constant airflow to keep your drivetrain operating at safe temperatures.
Integrated drainage outlets allow mud, sand, and water to escape, preventing debris buildup and potential corrosion.
Includes heavy-duty steel mounting brackets with a zinc coating to ensure a secure, vibration-free fit for the life of the vehicle.
The slim-profile design hugs the Hilux's chassis, protecting components without reducing your breakover angle.
Israeli Engineering: Field-Tested & ProvenAsfir 4x4 doesn't build "mall crawler" accessories. This full underbody system is engineered to survive the harshest environments. The 51 lb (23 kg) total system weight is a testament to the efficiency of 6mm aluminum—providing armor that would weigh over 100 lbs in steel.
51 lbs Lightweight Armor 6.0 mm Aluminum Alloy Bolt-On Install Method Drivetrain Full Coverage"Finding good armor for the older Hilux models is getting harder. I installed the full Asfir engine and trans kit on my '99 Diesel and it fits like a glove. The aluminum is incredibly thick and has already saved my transfer case from a nasty rock strike in the mountains. Highly recommended if you actually take your Hilux off-road."

While steel is strong, it is prone to rust and adds massive weight. Asfir uses 6mm aluminum, which provides sufficient impact protection for heavy off-roading while remaining rust-proof and significantly lighter, helping your suspension last longer.
Yes. Because this is a 100% bolt-on system that uses factory holes, most Hilux owners can install it with standard tools and a floor jack. No drilling or welding is required.
The skid plate is designed with maintenance in mind. While it covers the drivetrain for maximum protection, it is easily removable with simple bolts when major service is required, ensuring mechanics can access all components quickly.
This specific SKU is verified for Manual Transmission Hilux models (1998-2001). Check your gear type before ordering, as automatic models may have different transmission cooler lines and pan layouts.
Yes. Unlike many "front plates" that only shield the engine, this Asfir system extends back to cover the transmission and the transfer case, giving you full underbody peace of mind.

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
