Darren...... 
Take breakfast to the "Baby" in the morning....
Pat her on the *** and give her a big hug 
Thanks for the on the Lettering. Yep, I did it. Easy, purchased the lettering kit through ebay. It's a Ford assesory item.
Nice picture of the lake. Is this where your place is?

Awesome Darren!! I laughed out loud when I read your birthday post.
I drove mine around for a bit last night. Went over to the in-laws' place to grill out. Now the inside of the truck smells like BBQ.
Had to go from there to Wally World to get a brake light bulb for the wife's Denali and had to play question and answer with some folks about the truck while I was there......that's a good thing though. Maybe I converted a couple of Duramax guys.

It is more than a step. It is heavy and has slightly compressed springs in the black round area between the hitch and the chrome tube. It is designed to take a rear end hit and asorbe some of the impact.
Have a great Monday .......

The birth date AND the adoption date......can't forget when you actually made the truck a part of the family.

On my window sticker, it is the date I viewed it online...3/16/2012. The door sticker says 10/10. Not sure if that means October of 2010 or October 10, and it is assumed that it was building in 2010. I'm guessing it was built on 10/10/10 mainly because that is cool to type.

Ha, so the big question. Does life begin at conception? I wonder what day they made the frame rails? Engine assembly? Or the day they connected the batteries? Going to have to consult a higher authority on this one......

Considering that the electrical system makes up half the value of late model trucks, I would put the "born on" date at the time of the battery being hooked up, giving all systems life!!
Dramatic, ain't it?
