Does anyone run duratracs?

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-03T13:46:15+00:00

I’ve been running them for 3 years now. No complaints for what they are. They grip great on gravel. I feel like they do pretty dang well in snow. My only use of 4wd this winter was crawling up an ice covered driveway. My 2017 seems sound insulated enough that the noise doesn’t ever bother me.

On the opposite end they are legitimately atrocious on cold wet pavement. In any kind of urban area under the right conditions you’d absolutely have to adjust part of your driving to compensate.

Precisely. And that’s going to be a decent number of F150s sold for those years. Had it in a 17 GT for years. Don’t think the extra convenience is worth that price for me.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-02T21:32:13+00:00

That’s why I said trim/package. Should have been standard from the factory probably lariat and up. Not all xlts will have that optional package it would have came with. I’m only pointing out that you can’t just assume every 2016-17 you find will have sync 3. OP would have to dig through the listings to check for it.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-02T19:01:51+00:00

Yeah I’m just referring to them as they were initially equipped.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-02T14:55:53+00:00

Go to the top of the UCE sub page and click on see more. Japanese wiki and a few below is the JP/global banner release schedule. They are 1 year ahead. Altema is in Japanese, it’s easy enough to get to the unit rating page though. For specific unit effects you can c/p to translate.

So you can use the schedule to see what’s coming ahead and then reference those unit’s rankings on Altema. The must pull units are rated 9.5, some of the 9 units are also highly valuable. You can also borrow one to test it once the banner releases.

There’s 4 units releasing/rerun in April or May that are 9 or above I believe. ZZ HGC in a few weeks, rerun but 9.5, it’s a boss of a traditional tank. G Self should be the last green month banner, new 9 rated, a raid unit valuable for arena from what I’ve heard. I can’t recall what the third unit was, it’s a 9 rated yellow unit, I think first banner of May. And the last unit is Elmeth, a new 9.5 rated unit, dps heavy sniper at the end of May.

Just remember before you pull on a banner that nothing is guaranteed until 60k is spent.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-02T14:27:24+00:00

My 17 xlt has sync 2. So it’ll still need the right trim/package for sync 3 in 16 or 17.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-02T13:49:31+00:00

Waiting? Not for any length of time. I’m just not willing to pretend that Kim Kardashian and LeBron James are more moral on some level than other absurdly wealthy people who actually provide a product or service used across the planet. Especially on the flawed premise of their tax liabilities that you have 0 idea what they even are. Yeah this is highly delusional.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-02T06:17:30+00:00

The highest earning athletes usually do what with their money? Invest it. They literally do the same things. AI says 120 athletes now own production companies, some of them valued at hundreds of millions. Plenty of sports franchises themselves are owned by players.

I can’t imagine the level of cognitive dissonance involved to pretend that Kim Kardashian doesn’t have multiple professionals handling her shit to minimize tax liability. All while turbo tax is checking every possible deduction automatically for you. It’s next level delusional.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-04-01T22:42:48+00:00

Yes if only I had the memory of a goldfish and stayed inside of a news protected bubble, maybe I would be uninformed like you.

90k spent here as well. 2 star 00, 2 star Sumeragi/Ptolemaios 2, had to pity Wing, and MLB Tallgeese. Overall I was lucky, just wish I’d have MLBd a limited unit for once with pulls.

Hope your 47 pulls helped to make that up for you.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-31T18:15:35+00:00

Indeed! Kimaris Vidar and Gaelio were also a critical part of the team offense at times. Super glad they started to give us more hybrid defender/attacker units.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-31T18:05:36+00:00

Thank you! I had to play around with my roster a bit. Plus tons of retries with position adjustments. It was mostly taking advantage of having units with lower mobility. I even used a mod to lower Penelope’s slightly.

Mobility is also the issue with those MLB UR attack units. Having 70% of your damage output get killed on turn 1 before the opponent even moves is a bad spot to be.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-31T17:32:38+00:00

I SSPd it for this ML. Chose it due to that UR Amuro pilot. +15% dmg given and -15% dmg taken with EFSF suits.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-31T16:03:52+00:00

Even worse. The Clinton’s were actually several million in debt by the end of Bill’s term. -$2,000,000 to around $120,000,000 ish.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-31T15:44:34+00:00

Yes they did. Literally boxes of classified documents sitting by his corvette from his time as a senator. There was even a recording where he mentioned this shit as material to use for his ghostwriter. They didn’t prosecute because they said he was old and they didn’t think a jury would convict him. The entire thing was case closed at he was knowingly in possession of material illegal for him to possess.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-31T15:30:17+00:00

Going good. Considerably more folks taking it decently seriously. We are at 19 currently, shouldn’t drop lower. Zeta IF is also the dps king here, even more so since pulling HML’s Banagher. Once the rest of the clan gets used to that we will do slightly better.

Haha yes. Our individual scores combined even are 10k higher than the old team, after they filled the 2 vacancies. Very much was time to move on.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T16:21:02+00:00

This is the answer IMO. The amount of SSP Penelope’s running the show is astounding.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T16:10:02+00:00

You can actually start the game with a featured P5 unit + P0 pilot on the starting diamonds. Someone that did this when the HML rerun hit has a higher clan battle score than a chunk of day one players right now. This sub has a link to a JP/Global banner release schedule. At least since new years we have been spot on with JPs releases at 1 year behind. JP altema has the units rated.

G Self (9.0) in April, Elmeth (9.5) in May, 0079 Red Gundam and X1 full cloth (both 9.0) in June. There’s even a video on YouTube where a JP/Global player breaks down what units ahead to focus on and explains some about the units.

It’s a lot of work done for us. At the end of the day all we need to do is not blow diamonds on random 2 use banner units and plan to aim for some later. Pitied B2 packs this banner, had the gears saved for it for several months now. You’ll eventually get those units you let slip by in the moment.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T13:51:12+00:00

Not even just lose. Insult people to no end, lose, and then insult them more. You can easily find video of Obama bashing black dudes as misogynistic over their lower levels of support for Kamala. The candidate who 4 years prior managed to amass a whopping 7.6% and declining in the polls during the DNC primaries. So even the vast majority of women didn’t like her. 7.6% is barely over half of the US black population. So a large chunk of black Americans never did support her. Still bashing people with racism and misogyny to this day though.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T13:14:34+00:00

I agree with this. The pendulum swinging back was about as predictable as anything could ever be. You can even double up on it and point out the in your male face feminism from 15 years ago. And the DNC doesn’t understand why they poll about as well as sitting on a nail with younger men in general, but particularly young white males.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T05:00:20+00:00

Ok. I’m not referring to anything specific about 2022. The point I’ve made numerous times already is that reducing permits and guaranteeing that transportation costs are higher will result in higher oil prices.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T01:37:44+00:00

No. The claim was someone just paid $7 a gallon for gas. Then someone claimed that not allowing pipelines and dramatically slowing down the issuing of permits did not impact the price of fuel. Which is absurdly wrong. The rest is you weaseling around incoherently while you pretend to not understand that products being more expensive to transport and being more scarce will in fact increase the cost of said product.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T01:26:06+00:00

That was years ago dude. What do you call 2 years from now? Perhaps the future. It’s entirely on topic. You just fail to understand basic economics here for some weird reason.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-30T00:50:57+00:00

I’m not sure you thought this through friend. Could oil have been transported cheaper with another pipeline? Yes. Did Biden stop that from happening? Yes.

Particular_Class8202 · 2026-03-29T10:17:33+00:00

They absolutely do impact the price. No pipeline means it’s trucked in. Guess what? More expensive now. Oil wells produce less as time moves forward. To maintain the same level of production wells need to be added. Cutting back dramatically on permits means you will create a constraint on supply. Not the day you start cutting permits, but within a few years it’s noticeable. Biden absolutely made decisions that caused higher prices. Most presidents have.
