Premium 6mm Aluminum Armor. 100% Bolt-On. Ultimate Engine & Steering Protection.
The Standard in Underbody DefenseThe Asfir 4x4 Front Skid Plate is the first line of defense for your Toyota Hilux. Whether you are navigating rocky riverbeds or thick bush, your engine's oil pan and steering components are vulnerable to catastrophic damage. This plate is precision-engineered to take the hit so your vehicle doesn't have to.
Manufactured from high-quality laser-cut 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum, this skid plate provides the heavy-duty protection of steel at a fraction of the weight. It is designed specifically for the 2.8L and 2.4L turbo diesel Hilux models, ensuring a glove-like fit with zero compromise on ground clearance.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory splash guards are often made of thin plastic or stamped sheet metal. They offer zero protection against "nose-dives" into rocks, which can result in a cracked oil pan or damaged steering rack mid-trail.
The Asfir Solution: We use reinforced 6mm aluminum and zinc-coated steel brackets to create a rigid shield that slides over obstacles while protecting your most expensive mechanical components.
Key Features: Asfir Hilux Front Armor
100% Bolt-on installation. The plate uses factory mounting points on the chassis, meaning you can return to stock at any time without leaving holes behind.
Heavy-duty 1/4" aluminum offers incredible impact resistance without the rust issues or excessive weight of traditional steel plates.
Stiffening ribs are pressed into the plate to prevent bending under high-impact loads, ensuring the plate keeps its shape over time.
Includes strategic apertures for easy access to service points, reducing the need to remove the plate during routine maintenance.
Every millimeter counts off-road. The Asfir plate hugs the front differential and oil pan tightly to maximize ground clearance.
Built-in drainage holes allow water, mud, and sand to exit the underbody, preventing corrosion and weight gain from trapped debris.
Mounting brackets are constructed from high-tensile steel and zinc-coated to resist road salt and harsh environmental conditions.
Precision-cut ventilation slots ensure that your engine and front differential receive adequate cooling airflow even during low-speed crawling.
Field-Tested and ProvenAsfir 4x4 has been producing high-end off-road components for over 30 years. This front skid plate is part of a modular system—meaning it integrates perfectly with Asfir's Gearbox and Transfer Case plates for a complete, smooth-belly protection kit.
24 lbs Lightweight Armor 6.0mm Aluminum Thickness 100% Bolt-On Fit Zinc Coated Brackets
"Installed this on my 2.8L Hilux before a trip to the high country. The quality of the laser cutting is top-notch. It took a solid hit on a ledge that would have definitely crushed the factory 'bash plate'. The fact that it doesn't weigh a ton is a huge plus for my front suspension."

No. The Asfir Front Skid Plate is designed with laser-cut ventilation slots that allow for natural airflow into the engine bay and around the front differential, preventing heat build-up.
The Asfir plate is designed to fit the standard Hilux chassis. While it works with most aftermarket bumpers and bull bars, some heavy-duty bumpers that include their own under-guard may require slight adjustments or the removal of the bumper's integrated plate.
Absolutely. The 100% bolt-on design means no specialized tools like welders or drills are needed. Basic sockets and wrenches are all you need. Since aluminum is lightweight (24 lbs), it's easy for one person to handle.
Aluminum (6mm) offers the same effective protection as 3-4mm steel but at half the weight. This prevents front-end sag and preserves your fuel economy. Plus, aluminum won't rust when the powder coat gets scratched on rocks.
Yes, this plate is compatible with both 4x4 and 4x2 Toyota Hilux models equipped with the 2.4L or 2.8L diesel engine.

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
