hey All.. it was a rough day for my vehicle yesterday.. thanks for all of your support.. truly appreciated.. 
Have a nice week ahead and hope to see you all again soon!!

Hi @Yesu Yarlagadda as much as the Patrol Y62 is a powerful beast, unfortunately it has a few things going against it:

- Bumpers front and back. The new front bumper is definitely a good improvement. I am not sure if you added a bashplate as well in front.
- OEM Large wheels with relatively low profile tyres. These are prone to having pop-outs as you faced yesterday. In quite a few occasions i have seen you counter-steering against the sand and using the massive power the car has. This is not a good thing and will lead to more pop-outs in the future or even roll-overs (you have a near miss on one of the big climbs we did). 

- Prone to fishtailing: The car is big and long, and once it starts fishtailing it needs immediate correction or things will go wrong. 

I would advise you to use the power wisely. I have seen lots of Y62 owners going through the same thing. Go with gravity and use it as your friend.
