Heavy-Duty 6mm Aluminum Armor. No-Drill Installation. Absolute Fuel Security.
The Ultimate Shield for Your Long-Range Fuel SupplyThe ASFIR 4X4 Fuel Tank Skid Plate is the definitive protection upgrade for your Toyota Land Cruiser 200 or Lexus LX570. While these vehicles are legendary for their off-road capability, the factory fuel tank guard is often thin sheet metal that can deform easily under the weight of the vehicle, leading to catastrophic punctures in remote areas.
Precision-built from 1/4" (6mm) laser-cut aluminum, this armor provides massive impact resistance without the heavy weight of steel. Proudly made in Israel and tested in the extreme terrain of the Negev desert, it ensures your adventure doesn't end with a fuel leak.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: A single sharp rock or high-centering event can puncture your gas tank, leading to thousands in fuel loss and repair costs, not to mention being stranded.
The ASFIR Solution: This 100% Bolt-On skid plate uses reinforcing ribs to absorb and distribute impact forces, protecting your tank while maintaining maximum ground clearance.
Key Features: ASFIR Underbody Armor
Specifically engineered for the LC200/LX570 chassis. Uses existing factory mounting points for a true bolt-on installation.
High-strength aerospace-grade aluminum offers superior protection with a much lower weight penalty than steel plates.
Integrated structural stiffening ribs provide additional rigidity to prevent the plate from bowing under heavy impacts.
Integrated drain holes and ventilation slots prevent mud, water, and debris buildup while reducing heat soak.
Heavy-duty mounting hardware is zinc-coated to resist corrosion, ensuring longevity in salted winter roads or muddy trails.
Weighing only 27.5 lbs, this plate adds minimal stress to your suspension while providing maximal protection.
Engineered for the TrailWe don't cut corners. The ASFIR Fuel Tank Skid Plate features 6mm thick aluminum with precision bends that hug the fuel tank, preventing a "snag point" for rocks. It works seamlessly as part of a complete ASFIR underbody kit.
27.5 lbs Lightweight 6mm Aluminum Alloy 100% Bolt-On Israel Origin
"Living in an area with lots of sharp limestone, the stock tank guard on my LC200 was looking pretty beat up. The ASFIR plate is a night and day difference. The fitment was spot on—no wrestling with bolts or alignment. It gives me much more confidence taking the family out into the backcountry."
- David S., Land Cruiser 200 Owner Maintenance NoteDebris Cleaning: While the drain holes handle most debris, we recommend flushing the gap between the tank and the plate with a hose after deep mud or sand driving to prevent abrasive buildup.

CA Residents: ⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Yes. The skid plate mounts directly to the chassis/fuel tank area and does not interfere with suspension components. It is compatible with virtually all LC200 lift kits.
No. The ASFIR Fuel Tank Skid Plate is a "No Drill, Bolt-On" system. It installs securely using existing factory mounting points.
While it only weighs 27.5 lbs, having a second person or a floor jack to hold the plate in place while you start the bolts makes the job significantly easier.
The plate features integrated drainage and ventilation holes specifically designed to let water and fine sediment flow out, reducing the risk of corrosion or trapped weight.
No. Aluminum does not rust like steel. It is ideal for underbody protection, especially if you drive on beaches or salted roads in the winter.

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
