I acquired this wrecked, and put about $1000 into it. All that's left to do is align it, tighten up the suspension, change the oil (check all fluids), detail it and get it inspected. I'm excited that it will be done for her for Christmas.

2008 f150 4x4 sxt:


new oval for the grill is still in the wrapper and will be the last thing put on.

So, give me some ideas on how to give it to her.

Put the new oval in a shoebox wrapped up under the tree. When she asks what its for tell her she has to help you install it later

When opened thread, i thought you meant literally baby, the truck shocked me

Are you asking if it has one or am I installing one? If it's the latter, no. It sits fine and looks good. The previous owner had some work done to it so it might have one already.

He definitely did something to the exhaust, I don't think I can sneak it in to the yard tomorrow night, it's a little loud.

Wrap it in a big red bow.

Ask her to help you check some lights outside/ grt something outta the truck.

Nice job dad! fake a phone call to yourself and ask her to ride with you to go jump start one of your buddies or something like that then hand her the keys when you get there!
Who's body shop i like that big arse fan they got.

Get a toy one similar to it, put the keys inside it. She'll probably be thinking, "Oh wow, a toy truck " Then you can tell her "Hey, it's just like a real one--it even has keys!"

That's exactly what my mom did for my sister when she graduated college. Got her a Mini Cooper. Arranged for the salesman to deliver it to the restaurant they went to after the graduation ceremony. While at the restaurant mom gave here an exact replica radio controlled version of the car but out the real car's keys inside the box.

Sis thought it was so cool that the RC car came with a replica of the key but them mom said "no, that's a real key. let's go outside".
