Dual-Purpose Defense: Off-Road Impact Protection & Catalytic Converter Theft Deterrent.
The Ultimate Shield for Your DrivetrainThe ASFIR 4X4 Transmission Skid Plate is engineered for the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and Lexus LX 570, addressing two of the most significant risks for these vehicles: mechanical trail damage and catalytic converter theft. While factory guards are often thin plastic or light-gauge metal, ASFIR provides 6mm of aerospace-grade aluminum armor.
Designed and manufactured in Israel, this plate is built to withstand the harshest off-road environments. It shields the sensitive transmission housing and exhaust components without adding the excessive weight of steel, ensuring your vehicle remains agile on the trail and secure in the city.
Why ASFIR Protection:The Pain: The 200-series has a long wheelbase and low-hanging catalytic converters, making them vulnerable to rock strikes and prime targets for thieves. A single trail impact or a 2-minute theft can cost you thousands.
The ASFIR Solution: We use 1/4" (6mm) Laser-Cut Aluminum with a bolt-on design that creates a physical barrier against both jagged rocks and cordless saw blades.
Key Features: ASFIR Underbody Armor
100% bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. Maintains vehicle integrity and eases the installation process.
The wide-profile design shields expensive catalytic converters, acting as a massive deterrent for potential thieves.
Integrated stiffening and reinforcing ribs provide extreme durability in high-impact zones under the center chassis.
Ventilation slots ensure constant airflow to the transmission, reducing heat build-up during slow-speed technical crawling.
Strategic drain holes allow mud, water, and debris to escape, preventing corrosive buildup between the plate and the frame.
Zinc-coated steel brackets provide rigid, long-lasting support that resists rust even in salted winter conditions.
Tested in the Negev DesertASFIR doesn't just build parts; we build trail confidence. This transmission plate features heavy-duty aluminum construction with 6mm thickness for maximum impact absorption. It is significantly lighter than steel, ensuring your 200-Series suspension remains efficient.

"Living in the city, I was terrified of catalytic converter theft on my LX 570. This ASFIR plate fits so tightly and covers so much area that it's the perfect deterrent. On the trails, it's already taken a few scrapes from large rocks without bending. One of the best upgrades I've made."

While no product is 100% theft-proof, the ASFIR Transmission plate covers the catalytic converter area on the 200 Series. It makes them much harder to access with tools, acting as a high-level deterrent that usually sends thieves elsewhere.
Yes. The ASFIR plate is designed specifically to accommodate the lines and clearances required for the Lexus Adjustable Height Control (AHC) system without interference.
No. The ASFIR skid plate is a 100% bolt-on application. It uses existing mounting points on your Toyota or Lexus frame.
This plate is made of aluminum and weighs only 22 lbs. Standard steel plates for this vehicle typically weigh double that amount, making ASFIR the better choice for suspension longevity.
Yes. Due to the lightweight aluminum construction, most owners can install this plate themselves. We recommend using a floor jack or a helper to hold the plate in place while you start the first few bolts.

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
