Description
What happened to an unprotected Nissan Patrol Y63?
Without underbody protection, your Patrol is exposed to serious damage in rough terrain.
- Radiator puncture: stones can hit and crack the radiator, leading to overheating
- Engine sump damage: a single hard hit can cause oil loss and engine failure
- Costly breakdowns: repairs in remote areas can become expensive and stressful
- Reduced off-road confidence: you avoid tracks you should be able to enjoy
- Long-term wear: constant debris impact slowly weakens key components
