If you're going to be driving straight through, you should plan on it taking you a good 20 hours each way from SLC. How are you planning on going? I've made that trip a couple of times.

Looks like I am committed to going with Trent.:hug: I think whatever route that doesn't involve I-70 through Colorado is cool with me. That is a wicked climb over Isenhower.

That's how I went last time, and it was my favorite. I've also gone through Wyoming on 80 to Cheyenne, down 25 to Denver, across 70 to Kansas, and down 35 through Oklahoma to Texas. The other way I went was the same except instead of going through Kansas, I stayed on 25 and went down through Colorado across the corner of New Mexico on US-87 to Amarillo. Have fun on the trip. At least you'll have someone to keep you company. If you need anything on your way, you can call me if you're close to Dallas. I'm about 80 miles NE of where you're going to pick up the truck and about 60 miles east of Dallas.

People some times underestimate the size of Texas. I am 25 miles from the geographic center of Texas. Ad it takes me 3 hrs to get to DFW. But none the less swing on by.

Ha Ha, give it some time and it will be turned into a puller, then you will be looking for a truck once again.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

:rofl: I can see it now. In a couple of years Trent will have this new truck all built up for pulling and will be looking for a Reg. Cab to swap the engine out of his current truck into so he has a race truck, a pull truck, and a daily driver/family truck.
