Center-Chassis Armor. 6mm Aerospace Aluminum. No-Drill Installation.
Protect the Heart of Your 4WD SystemThe ASFIR 4X4 Transfer Case Skid Plate is the critical middle link in your Land Cruiser 200 or Lexus LX 570 underbody armor. Positioned at the vehicle's "breakover" point, the transfer case is the most likely component to sustain damage during high-centering events or when crawling over sharp ledges.
Precision-built from 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum, this plate offers massive impact resistance without the fuel-draining weight of traditional steel. Proudly made in Israel and desert-tested, it provides a smooth sliding surface to help your vehicle glide over obstacles rather than getting hung up on them.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: The transfer case housing on the 200-Series is cast aluminum and can crack easily upon impact. A hairline fracture in the middle of a trail means immediate fluid loss and a complete drivetrain failure.
The ASFIR Solution: Our reinforced 6mm plate acts as a sacrificial shield. It features Stiffening Ribs that absorb energy and Zinc-Coated Brackets that secure directly to the chassis for unyielding support.
Key Features: ASFIR Drivetrain Armor
Engineered for a 100% bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. No permanent vehicle modifications are necessary.
Massive protection thickness that won't rust. Aluminum offers the perfect strength-to-weight ratio for heavy overlanding builds.
Integrated stiffening ribs prevent the plate from bowing or deforming when the full weight of the vehicle is rested upon it.
Strategic drain holes and ventilation openings allow mud, water, and sand to escape while reducing drivetrain heat buildup.
Mounted directly to the vehicle's frame via zinc-coated steel brackets to ensure maximum structural integrity during high impacts.
Hugs the transfer case closely to preserve valuable ground clearance, providing a flat surface to slide over rocks.
Tested in the World's Harshest TerrainWe don't cut corners. Every ASFIR plate is Made in Israel and field-tested in the extreme conditions of the Middle Eastern deserts. Our 200-Series armor is specifically designed to clear all vital lines and exhaust components while maintaining structural rigidity.

"The quality is night and day compared to the cheap steel plates I've seen. The ASFIR transfer case plate was a breeze to install on my LX570. I've high-centered twice on technical trails since putting it on, and the aluminum took the hits like a champ with only surface scratches. It's a must-have for peace of mind."
- Jason P., Land Cruiser 200 Owner Vulnerability WarningThe "Breakover" Risk: The transfer case is the lowest hanging part of the central drivetrain on the 200-Series. Without a skid plate, a single rock strike at the peak of a hill can crack your housing, leaving you stranded with no 4WD.

No. The ASFIR Transfer Case Skid Plate is a "No Drill, Bolt-On" system. It installs securely using existing mounting points and threaded holes already present on your Toyota/Lexus chassis.
The 6mm aluminum is extremely thin yet strong. It hugs the transfer case as closely as possible to ensure minimal clearance loss, while providing a flat surface that helps the vehicle slide over obstacles rather than getting hooked.
Integrated drain holes are cut specifically to allow for easy debris removal. Simply spray water through the openings after your trail ride to flush out sand and mud buildup.
Absolutely. 6mm aluminum is the industry standard for high-end off-road armor. It is rigid enough to take direct strikes and has better energy-absorption properties than steel, meaning it transmits less impact force to your chassis.
The ASFIR plate is designed to work with the factory exhaust routing. If your aftermarket exhaust follows the factory paths, there will be no fitment issues. Some ultra-custom exhaust systems may require slight spacing of the plate.

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
