    In that thing? None of it.

    I'd rather 4x4 my ProStar cross country in the Mojave than run that 6x6 across a smooth as glass highway. You're far more adventurous than I.:biggrin_25514:

    Just for grins and giggles, why not YouTube your trek?

    Well yeah all things being relative of course. I would youtube the adventure, but I don't own a videocamera or fancy phone... and every dime I've got left is going to diesel & ibuprofins. Thanks for the wellwishes though!

    I do have a camera though...
    now I just have to figure out how to post pics on here.

    He said Sacramento.

    Donner or 58-99....six of one, half dozen of the other. Only difference is, weather's likely to be better across 40.

    Fastest way that direction would be 70 to St Louis, 44 to Oklahoma City (excellent chicken at exit 179 in Missouri) 40 to Barstow, 58 to Bakersfield and then 99 north. This adds about 175 miles to the trip vs going 70 to 74 to 80.
