6mm Laser-Cut Aluminum. Direct Bolt-On. Ultimate Drivetrain Protection.
Armor Your Drivetrain Against the Toughest TrailsThe Asfir 4x4 Transmission & Transfer Case Skid Plate is engineered for the Toyota Hilux owner who pushes their vehicle to the limit. Your transmission and transfer case are among the most expensive and vulnerable components underneath your truck. Factory guards are often thin and prone to bending, leaving your drivetrain exposed to jagged rocks and stumps.
Constructed from 1/4" (6mm) high-quality aluminum, this plate provides heavy-duty shielding without the massive weight penalty of steel. Asfir armor is the industry standard for durability, ensuring your Hilux returns from the trail in one piece.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: A single rock strike to the transfer case can end your adventure and cost thousands in repairs.
The Asfir Solution: We use Reinforced 6mm Aluminum and a 100% Bolt-On design to offer maximum impact resistance while maintaining essential ground clearance.
Key Features: Drivetrain Protection System
Premium laser-cut aluminum offers the strength required for rock crawling while being significantly lighter than traditional steel armor.
Specifically designed to cover both the transmission and the transfer case, two of the most critical and costly parts of your 4x4.
Utilizes factory mounting points. No drilling or permanent vehicle modification is required for installation.
Integrated stiffening ribs provide extra structural rigidity, preventing the plate from deforming during heavy underbody hits.
Precision-cut ventilation holes ensure your transmission and transfer case maintain proper operating temperatures under load.
Integrated drainage outlets allow mud, water, and trail debris to escape, preventing corrosive buildup against the chassis.
Hardware kit includes zinc-coated steel mounting brackets for long-lasting protection against salt, mud, and moisture.
At only 33 lbs, this armor adds negligible weight to your Hilux, protecting your MPG and suspension life.
Engineered for the Diesel HiluxPrecision-fit for the 2.4L and 2.8L turbo diesel Hilux models, this plate is laser-cut to follow the exact contours of the Toyota chassis. By using multi-wall 6mm aluminum, Asfir creates a rigid shield that slides over obstacles rather than catching on them.

"The peace of mind this plate gives me while touring is incredible. I've bottomed out twice on rocky tracks in the Outback, and this plate took the hits without flinching. The fitment was perfect on my 2.8L Hilux and it didn't rattle once during a 500km corrugated road stretch."
- Mark S., Hilux Owner & Explorer Compatibility & Fitment NoteUrea Protector Notice: Please note that the original factory urea protector cannot be installed alongside this skid plate. For complete underbody coverage, we recommend ASFIR’s compatible Urea Skid Plate (SKU: 533274).

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
No. The Asfir Hilux Transmission Skid Plate is designed as a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes your vehicle's existing factory mounting points. No permanent modifications are required.
Absolutely not. The plate features laser-cut ventilation apertures that allow for constant airflow around the transmission and transfer case, keeping them within safe operating temperatures even during slow-speed rock crawling.
No, the original urea protector must be removed to install this plate. We recommend adding the ASFIR Urea Skid Plate (SKU: 533274) for a seamless and fully protected underbody.
The plate is designed with drainage outlets that allow most mud and small stones to wash out during a normal vehicle wash. For deep cleaning after heavy mudding, simply hose out the vents from the side.
Yes. 6mm (1/4") aluminum is the gold standard for high-end off-road armor. It provides superior rigidity and energy absorption compared to plastic or thinner steel, while being much more resistant to corrosion.

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
