ASFIR Skid plates and front bumper

[toyuda]

I got my ASFIR on today, just wanted post a couple pictures so it may help others searching for info like I was.
This plate is bigger then the oem one and goes further back.
As others have suggested go ahead and plan on buying slightly longer bolts it just makes install much easier.
For the sub $200 to the door I think this is the best bang for the buck, my OEM plate gave up the ghost to rust and this will fit my needs just fine.

Great pictures!
With the Asfir plate being longer and having attachment holes at the rear end of the plate, does it require that holes be drilled in a frame crossmember to receive the bolts? If not, where are the pre-existing attachment holes for the rearmost bolts going through the plate?

The holes exist. They're in that cross member that the rear of the lower control arms mount to. You can see the ends of it in the pictures.

Well, that is handy.
Are they threaded or do you need to deal with a nut and washer each time you remove/replace?

They're threaded, and use the same 8mm fasteners as the front three.

Well I just pulled the trigger for the front skid. I’ll probably order the gear and transfer case skid soon. Can’t wait

How much did it cost you? Looks like the shipping cost increased a lot

Are the new bolts all part of the purchase?

Thanks for sharing. Emailing them right now.

It shows $58 shipping for me (89118) as well

 

[grinchy]

That shipping in line with what I paid for a different skid.

 

[Scoin]

It's still cheap considering they're shipping a skid from Israel to the US. $19 was a steal, I kinda feel dirty about it.

My skid just arrived this afternoon. My S/H = $19.00

Mine just arrived as well, I was excited about it but now I don’t think I can use it as I’m gonna be installing a diff drop. Anyone have one installed with a diff drop?

Negative. You reuse your existing bolts for the most part, and Asfir sent one long one with a spacer for the middle of the front plate. In my case I didn't have any of the splash guards on my rig when I bought it. I spent the extra money to get those bolts from the dealer ($16iirc) because I wanted the captured washers since it's one less thing to fiddle with on your back bench pressing a skid plate and trying to bolt it up. Of course I just installed a diff drop, so now those bolts aren't long enough anyway.

I had to order the bolts too. Part # 90119-08862

When did you order yours?

 

[bozncsurf]

Guys are these the new / modified skids they were designing for US / petrol cruisers ?

 

[Scoin]

Not sure I just ordered mine after seeing a few threads about them fitting. I can shoot them an email and ask.

The 200 series parts fit my 2009 lx570. I don't think anything on the frame is different across the three generations.
