This guy got 87,000 miles out of these nitto mud grabs. So since he got so many miles out of these things, he's definitely gonna go back with a brand new set of mud grabs. Now, a lot of y' all say y' all ain't gonna get but 20,000, 12,000, 15,000. Well, you're full of it, because what you doing? You burning these things up. This. This guy right here knows quality.
