@Hisham Masaad if I take a leave on that day and join the drive will it be okay for you??? You know i had a difficult time with you with bfg. Then with gaurav newbie drive with 10psi it was okay. Then again gautam feewbie drive I had three popouts...so I am wondering...if you let me I will take a leave and join this drive amd see I get shoutings or can find some peace with current bfg tyres...sorry for the late message just came back from business trip...
Like I said, BFG won't flex much at 12 PSI, and I haven't seen anyone having 3 popout on BFG in one drive. BFG rarely pops out due to the strong (8-10 ply) sidewall. You can try with 12 PSI again and then mid-drive lower to 11 PSI to test, but make sure you take the reading with two different gauges to be accurate.
If 11 PSI goes fine, drive for 2-3 drives to settle with 11 PSI based on your car weight and driving style. After 3 drives, try again 10 PSI to test.
I had BFG on my SWB Patrol weighing 2 tons and always drove them at 10 PSI, and even at 8-9 PSI occasionally.

Congrats @Sreenath G. Enjoy your new ride, get used to clutch at low-level drives and start learning with "zero half-clutch" principle to learn fast without worrying about getting stalled.
Every manual car stalls in the desert, so no big deal if yours stalls frequently during the learning phase.

I think it should have a thin metal clip on the rubber hose, which may be causing a small leak and underneath plastic showing the coolant sediments.
To be 100% sure, remove that hose when the car is cool and give it a clean with a brush under that pipe to investigate if the top tank is leaking (then go with M-Seal) or rubber hose needs metal clip.

@Shiboo Kr and @Arravind you've moved to RSVP, Please confirm if you still like to join tomorrow's drive.
-
Use M-Seal on all cracks or doubtful areas until you replace the whole radiator. M-Seal will hold twice the radiator pressure and heat, we have tested M-Seal on emergency repairs many times.

@LooperLisaili sand was wet today and it seems cloud-seeding rain is going to be more frequent, so you may not need so many ropes.

Dear Team,

i drive a fortuner V6 2018 model white.

Regards
Amal Sunil
Hi @Amal Sunil welcome to carnity, you only need required off-road gears and no modification to the car.
Just make sure that your car has a minimum of 8 inches of ground clearance along with front and rear tow hooks/points or eyelet for recovery.

Just to clarify another point on Japanese 4X4 (at least) front airbag won't pop with the nose dive unless the impact reach the crush zone. I had a nasty nose dive at a 50-60 degree angle on LC100 but the airbag didn't pop. After that got the airbag sensor checked and everything was fine, but the impact didn't reach the crush zone and hence airbag sensor didn't fire the signal.
The bottom-line is that front airbags don't deploy with minor front impact unless there is an accident and hence front airbag need is even more imp for off-road
