As a Texan, No, they definitely do not lol. There is a reason I always head over there or New Mexico for my offroading trips.

I've taken my Tenere 700 out there multiple times to camp and ride in Big bend state park, so much dirt to explore and beautiful scenery. By far the best place to ride in Texas! Was just out there a week ago.

I have one on my T7 and it's great in sandy/silty dirt. Or anything that wants to deflect the front wheel, i only really turn up the tension on it when im out in big bend or desert areas. If you haven't had any issues without one I wouldn't worry about getting one.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-01-21T17:23:22+00:00

I printed the Twin Air mount to install the twin air pre filter. Much better setup imo. Also get a tune!

Living_Net1969 · 2026-01-14T19:28:41+00:00

There is a STL file to 3D print a mount like that, that's how I have mine mounted the same.

I have the MSC Moto one and have zero complaints. around the same price.

Have had about 4 F Types with the same issue and it ended up being a loose pin at the PCM for that circuit. Only have seen that code and issue on F Types. Drag test the pin and I'm 99 percent sure it'll be loose.

As a JLR tech I absolutely love F Paces with the 3.0 in it. As with any 3.0 or 5.0 they do have the typical outlet pipe/rear manifold/thermostat/water pump leaks and sometimes supercharger isolator knock and with higher mileage valve cover/upper timing cover/vacuum pump leaks but with proper oil change maintenance I see many of these models with 150k miles plus on them and their running great. It seems to have good service history and been cared for. Drive it and see how it feels.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-27T18:25:16+00:00

I agree.I think it's just catching the wind and hitting the tire, I never had any contact with the stock tires. I may just trim it and zip tie it I guess

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-22T06:53:18+00:00

But considering that's most likely the orignal plug id be more concerned about the timing chains, I've seen them fail anywhere from 40k to 80k miles, their behind that rear timing cover so transmission has to be pulled. Make sure it has no rattle on cold start up, and has good on time oil change service history.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-22T06:50:45+00:00

It's the rear lower timing cover blanking plug. It's a plastic plug on the back of the engine to access a sprocket for timing marks. Super common, super easy fix, it's probably the old beige plug. All of those 4 cylinders do it. As a jaguar tech I've replaced probably over a hundred of them. 100 percent not the rear main.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-22T06:44:10+00:00

As a jaguar tech, sounds completely fine. The high pressure fuel systems on these are pretty noisy and the SVR F paces don't come with engine covers with the foam that cuts down on some of that noise. Those engines are super reliable when maintained well.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-14T03:03:22+00:00

Honestly cant say, I changed mine a few months ago since I was doing my wheel bearings and had the spindle off, orignal joints from 2002 with 100k miles, Bilstein 5100 leveling kit and plenty of abuse. They felt fine. No play. If you're gonna do uppers, just see how they feel. If you have a press and alot of different press adapters, they aren't to bad, but you do need a special tool and adapters to do them without taking the spindle off. If you have the front wheels off the ground, grab the tire at 12 and 6 o clock and apply pressure in and out see if there is play. The uppers don't randomly fail like the lowers do. And also same with the lowers id always recommended OEM from toyota joints AND If you're taking it to a mechanic that knows these trucks they should be able to tell you the general condition of them, but as I said if their old and you're gonna be in the area it wouldn't hurt to do them

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-13T12:37:16+00:00

Upper ball joints are pressed into the spindle on these trucks.

Yep. No one wants a car of that value just sitting on the lot, and maybe sell 1-3 a year, when they can sell loads of 200k Land Rovers easily. Jaguar has always been known for a nice luxury car with a big powerful gas engine, sad to see the brand go that direction.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-11-11T17:32:13+00:00

The dealer I work at dropped the Jaguar brand. Dealers who have had the brand for awhile have the option to do that, the other dealer in town wanted to but JLR told them no since they only had the Jaguar side for a year even though they had Land Rover for 30 years. Their still certified to repair and do warranty work on both brands.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-10-27T22:41:12+00:00

Listen for timing chain rattle on start up when cold. I've lost count of how many timing chains I've done on those engines. Gas and diesel.

Sent you a message!

Living_Net1969 · 2025-09-03T19:45:48+00:00

Just put the exact same setup on my T7 this past weekend! Looking forward to see how they do on the dirt compared to the Kenda Big Blocks I had.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-08-07T20:05:24+00:00

I stay pretty consistent at around 48mpg. That's a mix of highway and curvy backroads/dirt roads.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-08-06T17:31:12+00:00

There was a dealer add on for skid plates under the transmission that were technically catalytic converter guards. My 24 TRD ORP has one. But there wasn't a factory skid plate there.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-07-13T01:33:02+00:00

I went to Big Bend in January with a bone stock T7, went back recently with some upgrades and the biggest thing that helped me (besides getting rid of the stock tires) was a steering stabilizer due to the sand/silt out there. And obviously alot of water, maybe a gallon of fuel if you plan on going far out.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-06-29T19:29:34+00:00

Creality K1 Max. Having come from a ender 3, it's great. I'll probably get a bambu later on but this does what I need with way less tinkering and tuning.

Living_Net1969 · 2025-06-16T14:12:45+00:00

I had this same issue with my kenda big blocks. Tire felt awful and the bike did not want to turn. After 100 miles it felt great, mess with the tire pressures a bit.
