The entire process was fantastic.
The entire process was fantastic. Plate and hardware were very well made, engineered, and arrived from Israel in 3 days! Customer service (Leonard) very patient and helpful to be sure of fitment on US spec vehicle. Plate transfers forces to the chassis and not to trans or diff. Feels like chassis is stiffer with plate attaching to 8 points on the core support, crossmember, subframe, and frame rails. All the other plates attach to bolts in the trans/diff case. Most are multiple plates which may get hooked up or torn off. The plate is 1/4in, not 1/8 or 3/16 like others. You definitely get what you pay for. A 1 piece plate that protects entire drivetrain for the same money as 2 smaller thinner plates and any loads are not being transferred to vital drivetrain parts. It also protects exhaust and headers, inner axle boots and steering. Keep time difference in mind when communicating and expect some sharp edges. Thanks to Leonard and his team at ASFIR4X4 for making great parts to protect our vehicles!
