    About 6 hours round trip if I wanna play in the rocks.

    6 days round trip (around 6500 miles) if I wanna use my truck for what I built it for.

    About as far as turning off my driveway out into various pastures/trails. For fun offroading at a park about 5 minutes down the road.

    I haven't offroaded in the Taco yet. It's still clean. Just been in other vehicles.

    My rule is one day on site for every 2 hours one way. So I'll day trip two hours away. If it's 4 hours, I need a weekend. 6 hours calls for a long weekend.

    You can do the math...theoretically I will drive infinite distance, as long as I can stay long enough.
