6mm Laser-Cut Aluminum. Direct Bolt-On Armor. Desert-Tested Protection.
The Ultimate Shield for Your Hilux Front-EndThe Asfir 4x4 Front Skid Plate is engineered for Toyota Hilux owners who don't let a "little debris" stop their journey. Whether you're navigating rocky mountain passes or high-speed desert tracks, your engine's oil pan and steering components are constantly under threat. Factory splash guards are often thin plastic—Asfir provides a structural barrier.
Manufactured from high-quality 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum, this plate offers the perfect strength-to-weight ratio. It provides heavy-duty impact resistance without the massive weight penalty of steel, ensuring your Hilux maintains its fuel efficiency and front-end suspension height.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Vulnerable oil pans and steering racks are one stray rock away from a multi-thousand dollar repair and a ruined trip.
The Asfir Solution: Our 100% Bolt-On aluminum shield features reinforced stiffening ribs that allow you to slide over obstacles that would otherwise snag and damage your chassis.
Key Features: Heavy-Duty Front Armor
The Asfir skid plate uses a 100% bolt-on design, mounting directly to existing factory points for a hassle-free installation.
Crafted from 1/4-inch laser-cut aluminum, providing high-impact protection while remaining 30% lighter than steel.
Engineered with integrated stiffening ribs to maximize structural rigidity against heavy trail impacts.
Strategic ventilation slots ensure your engine stays cool while drain holes allow mud and water to exit easily.
Aluminum construction paired with zinc-coated steel brackets prevents rust even in salty or wet environments.
The low-profile design ensures your Hilux retains its ground clearance for better approach angles on obstacles.
At only 22 lbs, it protects your underbody without causing front-end suspension sag or decreased fuel economy.
Every plate includes all necessary zinc-coated fasteners and steel brackets required for a secure fit.
Tested in the World's Harshest DesertsAsfir 4x4 doesn't just design parts; they build armor. This front skid plate is the result of years of off-road racing and military-grade testing. The 6mm multi-rib construction is designed to absorb and distribute energy from impacts, protecting your engine's vital oil pan from punctures.

"Living in an area with lots of washouts and hidden rocks, I smashed my plastic guard on day one. The Asfir aluminum plate was a night-and-day difference. It took me 30 minutes to install in my driveway with zero drilling. It’s already taken three big hits that would have definitely cracked my oil pan. Well worth the money."
- Mark T., Toyota Hilux 4x4 Owner Maintenance NoteDebris Control: While our drain holes help clear mud, we recommend inspecting the plate and flushing out trapped debris after heavy mud-bogging to maintain optimal cooling airflow.

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
