High-Strength 1/4" Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Trail-Proven Gear Protection.
Bulletproof Drivetrain DefenseThe Asfir 4x4 Transmission Skid Plate is the ultimate insurance policy for your Toyota Tacoma’s drivetrain. Precision-engineered for Gen 2 and Gen 3 models, including TRD Off-Road and Pro trims, this heavy-duty shield is built to safeguard your transmission from jagged rocks, stumps, and unpredictable off-road hazards.
By merging aerospace-grade 1/4" (6 mm) laser-cut aluminum with high-clearance engineering, Asfir delivers maximum impact resistance without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel armor. Designed with precision, this skid plate ensures your Tacoma remains trail-ready while maintaining critical cooling efficiency and factory performance.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: A single rock strike can puncture a transmission pan, leading to catastrophic fluid loss, expensive repairs, and a truck stranded on the trail.
The Asfir Solution: Our 100% Bolt-On design uses reinforced stiffening ribs to absorb massive impacts and high-flow air vents to keep your transmission temperatures in check during slow technical crawls.
Key Features: Heavy-Duty Transmission Armor
Designed as a 100% bolt-on assembly. It uses existing chassis mounting points so you never have to cut or drill into your Tacoma's frame.
The 6mm laser-cut aluminum construction provides an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, protecting your vitals without sagging your suspension.
Specialized ventilation slots reduce heat build-up around the transmission, ensuring fluid temperatures stay within safe operating limits.
Strategically placed drain holes allow water, mud, and dirt to escape freely, preventing underbody corrosion and simplifying cleanup.
Engineered with pressed stiffening and reinforcing ribs to increase structural integrity in high-stress areas for maximum impact absorption.
Includes zinc-coated steel brackets to provide a secure, rust-resistant connection between the skid plate and the chassis in any climate.
At only 13 lbs, this plate offers superior defense without destroying your fuel economy or vehicle handling compared to heavy steel plates.
Designed to work as a standalone upgrade or integrate seamlessly with Asfir’s full underbody protection kit for total peace of mind.
*Repair costs are estimates based on parts and labor. Does not include rental car or lost adventure time.
Tested in the World’s Harshest ConditionsAsfir 4x4 has been a leader in off-road protection for over 30 years. This transmission skid plate has been rigorously tested on Double Cab models to ensure a precise, rattle-free fitment that matches the vehicle’s specific chassis geometry.
13 lbs Lightweight 1/4" Thickness 6061-T6 Alum. Alloy Zinc Brackets
"The fitment on my 2022 TRD Pro was perfect. I was tired of heavy steel skids rusting out and sagging my front end. The Asfir aluminum plate is incredibly light but took a direct hit on a boulder last weekend and didn't even flinch. Installation was simple—no drilling meant I was back on the trail in under 30 minutes."
- Mark T., Gen 3 Tacoma Owner Why Aluminum Over Steel?The Weight Factor: Most steel skid plates for the transmission weigh between 35-50 lbs. This excess weight increases braking distance and puts unnecessary strain on your suspension. Asfir’s 13 lb aluminum design provides the same impact protection with a 60% reduction in weight.

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
