Premium 1/4" Aluminum Protection. 100% Bolt-On. Maximum Ground Clearance.
High-Performance Underbody ArmorProtect your Toyota Tacoma’s vulnerable underbody with the ASFIR 4x4 High-Performance Aluminum Front Skid Plate. Engineered for serious off-roaders, this plate is manufactured from precision laser-cut 1/4" (6 mm) aluminum, providing an optimal strength-to-weight ratio that shields vital engine components without bogging down your rig.
Tested on everything from technical trails to Double Cab daily drivers, this skid plate is designed for maximum durability and clearance retention. The skid plate offers a vehicle-specific fit that ensures your oil pan and front-end components remain intact through the roughest terrain.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory plastic "splash guards" offer zero protection against rocks, and heavy steel plates rust and kill your fuel economy.
The ASFIR Solution: Our 6mm Aluminum construction is corrosion-resistant, incredibly strong, and features Reinforced Stiffening Ribs to handle direct impacts while remaining lightweight.
Key Features: ASFIR Front Skid Plate
Crafted from 6mm high-quality aluminum for superior strength and weight savings compared to traditional steel plates.
100% bolt-on design. Mounts directly to the chassis using existing factory points—no cutting or drilling required.
Built-in ventilation openings reduce heat build-up, ensuring your engine stays cool during low-speed crawling.
Strategically placed holes allow for easy release of dirt, water, and debris after a day on the trails.
All mounting brackets are zinc-coated steel to provide long-lasting corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
Stiffening and strengthening ribs are engineered into the plate to prevent bending and add structural rigidity.
Vehicle-specific design ensures minimal ground clearance loss, keeping your Tacoma agile over obstacles.
Comes with all necessary assembly and mounting hardware, so you can spend less time in the garage and more on the trail.
*Repair costs are estimates. Does not include towing, rental car, or lost adventure time.
Engineered Strength, Tailored WeightASFIR utilizes precision engineering to balance armor thickness with vehicle performance. Depending on your specific Tacoma model and engine configuration, our plates are optimized for the perfect fit.

"I was worried about adding too much weight to the front end, but this aluminum plate is the perfect compromise. I took a hard hit on a rock shelf last weekend and the ASFIR plate didn't even flinch. The install was exactly as advertised—bolt-on with no drilling. It’s a must-have for any Tacoma owner."
- Mike S., 3rd Gen Tacoma Enthusiast Installation & Maintenance TipDebris Management: While our drain holes are industry-leading, we recommend spraying out the skid plate area after heavy mud or sand runs to prevent buildup against the chassis.

The ASFIR skid plate is designed for easy maintenance. While the plate provides full coverage, its bolt-on design allows for quick removal if direct access to the filter or drain plug is required without the struggle of factory plastic clips.
Yes. We use 1/4" (6mm) laser-cut aluminum which is the industry standard for high-end off-road armor. It provides excellent impact absorption and sliding capability over rocks while weighing roughly 40-50% less than steel equivalents.
No drilling or cutting is required. This skid plate uses a 100% bolt-on assembly using the factory-provided mounting points on your Toyota Tacoma chassis.
Not at all. We have engineered ventilation hatches specifically to ensure proper airflow to the front differential and oil pan, preventing the heat trap common with solid "budget" skid plates.

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
