Precision Engineered. 1/4" Heavy-Duty Aluminum. 100% Bolt-On Protection.
Shield Your Tacoma’s Vulnerable ExhaustThe Asfir 4x4 Exhaust Skid Plate is designed specifically for the Toyota Tacoma owner who refuses to let a stray rock end their adventure. While the Tacoma is legendary for its off-road prowess, the exhaust crossover and piping remain high-risk areas for expensive impact damage.
Crafted from high-quality laser-cut 1/4" (6mm) aluminum, this plate offers the perfect balance of rugged durability and lightweight performance. Whether you're crawling over technical terrain or hauling gear through the backwoods, Asfir provides the peace of mind that your exhaust system is armor-clad.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Off-road debris and rocks can easily crush or puncture your exhaust system, leading to power loss, loud leaks, and repair bills totaling hundreds of dollars.
The Asfir Solution: Our Direct Bolt-On aluminum plate acts as a sacrificial shield. It absorbs impacts and slides over obstacles while maintaining maximum ground clearance.
Key Features: The ASFIR Exhaust Guard
Designed for a 100% bolt-on assembly using existing chassis mounting points. No permanent vehicle modifications required.
Integrated stiffening and reinforcing ribs enhance impact resistance, ensuring the plate doesn't deform under pressure.
Features strategic ventilation slots to reduce heat build-up around the exhaust, preventing thermal issues during slow crawling.
At only 4-6 lbs, this aluminum plate adds negligible weight to your rig while offering strength comparable to heavier steel.
Supported by zinc-coated steel brackets and high-grade fasteners to withstand mud, salt, and snow without rusting.
Precision-cut drain holes allow water, mud, and sand to escape freely, preventing underbody buildup and simplifying cleanup.
Specifically contoured to the Tacoma's structure to minimize clearance loss and protect your break-over angle.
Proudly manufactured by ASFIR 4x4, utilizing decades of experience in defense and off-road engineering.
Tested in Extreme EnvironmentsWe don't just design parts; we test them on the trail. The ASFIR Exhaust Skid Plate has been rigorously tested on Double Cab models to ensure real-world fitment and performance. It works seamlessly as a standalone upgrade or as a critical piece of Asfir’s complete underbody protection kit.
1/4" (6mm) Laser-Cut Alum. 4-6 lbs Ultralight TRD/PRO Fitment Tested Bolt-On Installation
"Most companies focus on the engine and transmission, but my exhaust crossover was taking a beating. This Asfir plate was incredibly easy to install—literally just bolted it on. I've dragged it over a few rocks already, and it didn't budge. Great insurance for a Tacoma."
- Brandon K., TRD Off-Road Owner Why Exhaust Protection MattersThe Hidden Vulnerability: While your factory TRD skid plates protect the front, the exhaust crossover is often the lowest hanging part of the mid-chassis. Protecting this area is vital for technical trails where high-centering is a risk.

No. This skid plate specifically protects the mid-chassis exhaust crossover and system. It is located behind the engine oil pan area and does not need to be removed for standard oil changes.
We have engineered the plate with integrated ventilation slots specifically to prevent heat trapping. This allows for constant airflow around the exhaust pipes even during low-speed driving.
No. This is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes the Tacoma's existing chassis mounting points. No drilling, cutting, or welding is necessary.

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

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
