How many miles are on your Dropmember?

Just thought it might be neat to see how much action Dropmembered trucks actually see. I'm sure some of you guys out there have logged a decent amount of miles ,so post up some numbers.

Re: How many miles are on your Dropmember?

Dino's Pannel has the first rolling prototype DM if I recall. I'm sure he has quite a few miles on that rig. Also, I think there are only 2 trucks he's built without a DM at all (pre runner and his dually). So if ANYONE has an opinion, it would be Dino.
